What I Did NOT Buy at the Antiques Mall

Annie Elliott | November 30, 2020

due to storage limitations, $ considerations, and/or a cold hard dose of reality. Gentle Readers, I hope you had a lovely, restful holiday last week.

Annie Elliott | November 19, 2017

I went to the Transformer Gallery‘s annual auction and party last night (bossy color helped sponsor the event), and it was SO MUCH fun! Today my feet hurt (4″ heels will do that) and I’m a little hoarse from yelling over the music, but my soul is full. You know why? Because the whole night …

Top 3 Decorating Trends from High Point

Annie Elliott | October 23, 2017

I have to tell you, I have never wanted to dye my hair black more than I did at High Point this year. I’d say 80% of the people there were blonde. Crazy! There’s a sociology thesis in there somewhere… When I wasn’t seeing myself coming or going, my fellow Bossettes and I noted three …
