THE HUSBAND Style Inspiration: Bleeker St. Fall Campaign




Phillips de Pury Photographs Auction

If any of you wives have yet to see a Phillips de Pury Auction, I suggest you make arrangements to attend the next one. I just began receiving The Phillips de Pury catalogs of beautiful and awe inspiring art. I’ve also had the privilege and opportunity of seeing Mr. Simon de Pury him self auction and his protege, the very charming Alexander Gilkes. Both men know how to make the world of art become Majestic. They have the ability to excite you to wave your Phillips de Pury paddle and bid on your very own piece of art.

Family Tradition: Apple Picking in the Fall

Since discovering apple picking last fall, my mom and I have made it our mother daughter tradition every September. I also love that we’re supporting local and organic farms. We get up early to drive up and stand in an hour line for fresh hot mini apple cinnamon donuts and fresh pressed apple cider at Snow Line Apple Orchard. And believe me when I say they are worth the wait! Umm Umm Good! After stuffing our faces with donuts we head over to Riley’s Farm for pumpkin and apple picking. Then up to our eye balls in apples, we drive home in anticipation to bake every apple recipe we can find! Its the one day in fall I always look forward to! – THE WIFE
Myself and Mama Jam!
This just might be out Christmas Card Photo! Haha!
