Travel Wow! When we heard that my nephew had chosen a location above Boston for his wedding we all didn’t understand why — but then we got there…. Just wow! Hammond Castle in Gloucester, Mass is just breathtaking. We drove up and took a short stroll down a flight of stairs and were confronted with a beautiful sight. Hammond Castle was built by John Hays Hammond, Jr. between 1926-29 as a wedding gift for his wife. Not only is it a beautiful setting for a wedding (see the pictures below) it is also a museum worth the tour. I highly recommend making the trip! Visit their website for more information: hammondcastle.org.

design Well, I admit, Thumbnail Designs has been slacking on our blog… but, for good reason! We’ve been so busy with design work that all our energy has gone into the new websites and print work that have been rolling out… For example, check out our latest website for Dubois Interiors! When Lu Dubois says her company offers “Premier Furnishings for the Design Community” she’s not kidding — her style is impeccable! To view more about her work, and to check out our design work, click here!

Great Finds I have to add this to my shopping list — for my kitties! (I have five!!) They will love these, although I think I may be the one who’s entertained by watching them in their Cat Playhouses! Check them out at www.suck.uk.com! While you’re there, you have to check out the Villain Chair! That’s where I’ll be sitting as I watch my cats play with tanks. Purrfect.
