In 1990, I sent out my first holiday card with a photo of 8 month old Hillary. Brookes joined in a couple years later, and then Jonathan joined the gang in 1996. Back in the day, I would take my own photos - a whole roll of film - to one hour photo, choose the best one, and assemble cards with ribbons. I loved the planning and executing of the project and looked forward to it every year. Here are a few!

Does each month go faster than the last, or is it me? How is it almost November?

I am ready for the holidays! I have planned a holiday card for the first time in over a decade and I couldn’t be happier about it. I am prepping for a busy holiday at The French Tangerine! I have a full page ad in Flower Magazine and hoping this will remind everyone of the Czech Christmas trees featured last December in The Wall Street Journal. I sold out last year, but am better prepared this season.
