That Will Be My Life

Not long ago I spotted this in a store. 
It came home with me.
 A friend said,"This is what you do."

 It has taken me awhile to look up

 just who Elsie de Wolfe was.

Elsie de Wolfe, 
also known as Lady Mendi
(December 20, 1859– July 12, 1950) 
was an American actress, 
interior decorator,
 nominal author of the influential 1913 book-
 The House in Good Taste, 
and a prominent figure
 in New York, Paris, and London society. 
According to The New Yorker,
 "Interior design as a profession 
was invented by Elsie de Wolfe," 
although the praise is not strictly true. 
De Wolfe was certainly the most famous name
 in the field until the 1930s, 
but the profession of interior decorator/designer 
was recognized as a promising one
 as early as 1900,
 five years before she received 
her first official commission, 
The Colony Club in New York. 
During her married life 
(from 1926 until her death in 1950)
 the press often referred to her as Lady Mendl. 
She was born in New York City 
and died at

Versailles, France.

Once I started checking around-- 
this quote was everywhere.

I DO love creating beauty 
within the sacred space of home.
The change of seasons, 
the flow of the liturgical year,
special celebrations.
But, more than that-
I LOVE creating markers 
that celebrate the gift 
of a faith walk life.
For that is beauty that transcends-
 days, years and even centuries.
It crosses into eternity-
and THAT is truly beautiful.
