As usual our autumn started on a hectic note, but we wouldn’t have it any other way! It started with two buying trips covering five countries and four states, ending with a breathtaking drive through the autumnal splendor of the Appalachians which cannot be described with mere words. It was a visual feast for the eyes and a trip that must be taken in one’s lifetime!
We always enjoy kicking off the fall season with the annual event hosted by Kappa Kappa Gamma of Dallas appropriately called Tablescapes. For almost 15 years they have hosted this event, raising $2 Million for local charities, and providing a canvas for a multitude of area designers to display their talents. This year’s event, held at the BrookHollow Country Club, was certainly one of the most enjoyable in our experience!
Our heartfelt thanks go out to the sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma who, for the past 8 years, have generously provided us with a larger than normal area in which to display our exhibit, allowing us to showcase our extensive variety of interior décor, furnishings and accessories in a most satisfactory way.
The food was exquisite, thanks to the capable staff at BrookHollow, and the recipes of noted chef and author Martha Hall Foose, who was on hand to personally autograph copies of her latest book, Screen Doors and Sweet Tea ~ Recipes & Tales from a Southern Cook. All her selections for the event were scrumptious, but the big hit was her shrimp etouffee served with hominy grits!

9 was the perfect way to begin our autumn and usher in the holiday season. If you’re ever in the Dallas area this time of year, we can’t recommend this event highly enough!
