Posted on October 20, 2012 by maryjane

Okay, so maybe the Beau Coop Heritage Hen Mini Farm isn’t at the top of your holiday wish list …

Maybe you’re a little more of a mover?

A shaker?

A go-for-the-gold

gussied-up

GLAMPER!

Are you feelin’ it?

If ritzy road-tripping is your ultimate fantasy,

then do not despair.

Neiman Marcus has the perfect present for you, too!

Feast your eyes:

Ain’t she a beauty?

They call her the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Woody-Tailgate Trailer.

It’s a mouthful, I know, but this little towable treat is worth it.

E-V-E-R-Y penny …

And here, we have arrived for my guest spot on Home & Family, hosted by Paige Davis and Mark Steines! Welcome to Universal City.

First, we start out with a little setup.

These pink pillows were featured in the “Imagine a Place” Oct/Nov 2011 issue and are looking to adorn your couch or bedroom at home. For just $45 (each), a little piece of MaryJanesFarm magazine can be all yours. Remember, all of the proceeds (minus shipping) will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The first one waiting for a new home is a 28″ square pillow with a white linen front beautifully embroidered in shades of pink, backed with dusty rose/mauve hand-dyed linen.

Next is the pillow pictured below on top of the couch with the pink cotton gauzy frill around the edge. It measures 18″ x 28″ and has beautiful needlepoint flowers on a tan background on the front and dusty rose/mauve hand-dyed linen on the back, bordered by 5″ of dusty rose/mauve frill.

Big City Scavenger Hunt

Posted on October 18, 2012 by maryjane

We’ve arrived in Los Angeles! Hollywood! Universal Studios! Sunset Boulevard! Melrose Avenue! Hey, wasn’t that Melrose Place, a nineties soap opera? Hang on a tic, look at that Ford. All I could think was, “What an awesome farm truck!”

And so began the farming scavenger hunt on the drive from the airport to the hotel. That yellow Chevrolet next to it was calling my name.

My Night with Sean

Posted on October 18, 2012 by maryjane

You know you’re in L.A., specifically Universal City, when your hotel lobby is plastered in photos of movie stars. Swoon. That and tiny plates of food that look as though they were baked and served to leprechauns (or maybe fairies), traffic that boggles my mind, oh, and shopping, and celebrities.

That’s right. Celebrities.
