I’m catching up on posts! We just returned from Paris, celebrating our 15th anniversary. Lots more on our trip soon!

Darcy and I headed up to Cleveland November 15th and 16th for a stay with Charity D’Amato. Shannon of Stash Style met us for dinner, cooked by Charity bon apetit!  Shannon  joined us the next day to take us around to some shops, which I’ll post more about in part deux. For those of you who love yummy recipes, Charity made us Pork and Plums + Brussels Sprout Salad with Avocado and Pumpkin Seeds.

Charity owns a graphic design firm: Chartreuse, Inc. & Shannon Vance is the creative director behind STASH Style. Charity’s home was featured on Design * Sponge and the weekend before we got there her home sold in 24 hours. I can see why, it was darling! She has purchased a mid-century house that has her name written all over it! Cannot wait to see her interior design flair in her new home.

One of the highlights was seeing Cleveland’s West Side Market, which celebrated it’s 100th year this year! The building architecture is incredible and the thought, “could I still be in Ohio”, popped into my head! This market is a must see if you are in this area. I loved how Charity keeps a blog about the happenings of Cleveland, called I heart Cleveland.
