Christmas on State Street that Great Street

December 13, 2012

 Each time I roam Chicago is calling me home.  I was born in Chicago. Chicago is my home town. My fondest memories of Chicago take place during the Christmas holiday season. One of the people who has inspired and influenced me the most in my life is my grandmother, Madeline Trippiedi.  She was an incredible cook, an accomplished gardener and an impeccable seamstress.  She showed me how to cook and she taught me how to sew.
Every Christmas she made her famous and beloved fig, raisin, prune, orange peel and walnut filled cookies.  She would make dozens and dozens of…

The hardest thing for me is to keep from buying everything in the treasuries I create. I love all the items in this one and so many of them would look lovely on a holiday tablescape.

4th of July Celebration

June 30, 2012

Last summer we spent the 4th of July holiday in the State of Washington in the one county that allows the sale and use of serious fireworks and it was a cracking, blasting, popping, loud time. Because the weather there was so nice we were able to eat outside and enjoy the festivities.  My idea of the perfect American 4th of July picnic includes a little badminton, a game of croquet, a covered gazebo to…

Nativities

November 28, 2011

After his return to Italy from a voyage to Egypt and Acre in 1220, St Francis of Assisi introduced three-dimensional nativity scenes. Some accounts state he used statues or costumed people, but…
