Hello, dear friends. I hope that your week is going well. It's been a soggy one around here.
Our sweet little Chili has had some tummy issues and hasn't been herself for the past few days. She had blood work done yesterday, and the results were inconclusive. The Dr. recommended x-rays and a sonogram so that's where I will be today. I'm hoping for a diagnosis and a speedy recovery.
It breaks my heart to see her so out of sorts.

Last Saturday, the Mister and I drove to the beautiful town of Stonington, Connecticut to meet Sista and her Mista for lunch.
Sista chose the waterside restaurant, Breakwater. It had the perfect setting, and the service and food were top notch.
Such a gorgeous view!
Our Men didn't even notice because they were mesmerized by this view!
After lunch, we walked into town to do some shopping.
Correction: Sista and I did the shopping, and the Men followed us around and talked about guy stuff.
Here is your Geography lesson for the day.
Stonington is the epitome of New England charm.
Most of these homes are on the water.
The woman who owns this consignment shop told us that her storefront was used in the movie Hope Springs with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones.
We stopped in Tucci Design, and we were happy that we did. Not only did we find some lovely jewelry, but we made a new friend as well.
One stand is empty.
I have a feeling I know who bought it.
I'll give you a clue:
Her name begins with moi.
This is Mary who not only owns the shop but also owns the building. She has an apartment on the second floor as well as a home in Wilton, CT.
Tucci Design is chock full of chic costume jewelry and awe-inspiring accessories for the home.
Mary's Wilton home was featured in one of my favorite magazines several years ago.
If you're ever fortunate enough to visit Stonington, stop into Tucci Design and browse the fabulous inventory, and meet Mary - she's one hot ticket!
Sista and I were so sad that this kitchen/garden/market store was closed. We peeked in the windows and it looked like it had great things!
On the way out of town, I took a pic of this darling house.
Until next time...
This pretty girl is Miss Lilly.
Her sweet Mama hosted Book Club last week.

If I did not love the south so much, I would live in New England. Thanks for sharing this adorable town, Katie.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet Chili, sure do hope he is faring better this afternoon. I have that exact same jacket your sister has on and I love it! This looks like a place I would enjoy visiting, just so quaint and welcoming looking.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry about Chili. I hope it is nothing serious and maybe just some little doggy-glitch. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteI was actually in Stonington in 1996! Wow- where has my life gone? It is a delightful little town and at that time some of the stores were just being refurbished if I remember it right.

ReplyDeleteI hope Chili feels better soon and that it is nothing serious. Stonington is so charming and I always like the stores you feature. Nothing like them in nothern NJ.
ReplyDeleteLoved the tour of Stonington. I needed the geography lesson. It is such a pretty little town with all the character of the houses. We will need to see your necklace soon. I hope Chili is recovering from surgery. Poor thing. The things they get into.
