    Ciao Bella,

    I really enjoyed the tour of your home with you, and Mr P also watched with me over lunch one day during the week! I’m so pleased to discover that your world is exactly as you present it here – no hidden corners of the prosaic, like one would expect of those who live rather more inauthentically for the benefit of their voyeur followers … except perhaps the off-limits garage, hahah!!

    You’re looking really well and lovely as ever!

    Congratulations, Contessa, on the Homeworthy feature – I can’t wait to look at it. The computer I am using at this moment does not have sound, so I will have to use my laptop later. I need something to motivate me to clean up my own house; maybe I can pretend Homeworthy is coming here.

    The flowers here are gorgeous, I will have to send you photos. Spring in East Tennessee is magnificent. Speaking of spring, you look absolutely SMASHING in your new green get up – so stylish.

    I’m very happy for you – ride this wave as long as you can. Sending you love and well-wishes.

    Hello Contessa, What a treat it was to see your home on Homeworthy and what a pleasure to have you guide us through it yourself and tell all the fun background stories. As I suspected, there were many fascinating spaces and objects that we had not seen before (or at least seen featured), and one suspects that all of this is still just the tip of the iceberg. Especially nice was reading all the perceptive and appreciative comments. I have seen other home tour videos, but yours definitely wins the prize.

I enjoyed seeing and learning about all the interesting items in your home. If I had to pick a favorite item, it might be the chaise lounge that belonged to your grandmother.

    The number of views on Homeworthy just shows how much you are loved and followed. It was a joy seeing all your collectibles and now hearing the stories behind many. I kept waiting and checking on instagram for the time to be shown. As many have commented you look well and hope you are doing so. I adore seeing your interesting and colorful attire and your most precious grand daughter Lottie.. I am in the same ilk of wearing caftans. They are so comfy especially in the summer heat of Tucson. In winter months I wear velvet. I however still need that monogrammed one you have. We must keep trucking. Best of everything to you.

    Dear Elizabeth,
    If anyone deserves special recognition YOU do. I will go back and take a look see again when I have more time. Everything looked wonderful. You look beautiful in your green garden Bryn Walker top and bottom. I hope you were feeling as well as you looked that day.
    Big pats on the back, You and “The Italian” look so cute together.
    Your garden looks pretty, your roses are gorgeous. I’m married in the “Rose King,” our garden is very small by design. Our garden in Scottsdale and in Sedona was much larger. Advancing in age and down sizing was the best decision ever.
    Sending you some of our early oppressive heat from AZ.

    You’re the first Homeworthy guest that I have met and been in your home, so it made it special viewing the episode.

    My Dear Contessa,
    I have been watching HomeWorthy the last year and really enjoy it. The show they did on your home was fabulous and really showcased your lifestyle. It was so much fun to watch and quite inspiring. And, if I might admit, makes me a bit less awkward about still buying stuff for my overstuffed abode.

    You were a wonderful host and I’d be surprised if you don’t get some job offers.

    Congratulations!

    Dearest Elizabeth,

    The Homeworthy video is a real treat to watch!
    I watched it twice because I loved it so much! You are a wonderful hostess guiding us through your home and sharing snippets of your treasures. The history and stories about the items enriches the experience so much!
    Imagine getting free things from Macy’s!
    Your pets were on their best behaviour and Betty’s pearls (!) well as a pearl lover I applaud her accessorizing ability.
    I hope you receive many positive comments and compliments from near and far.

    Enjoy your lovely home.
    XO

    Leslie

    Hello Elizabeth,
    A delight having a tour of your beautiful home. The memories it must hold. My favourite is your garden. The espresso cup made me laugh, Santo Eustacchio is the patron saint of the town my husband’s family is from in Abruzzo. My in laws would have loved it. Not sure if the spelling is the same as your cup.
