Here's link to an interesting article from The Washington Post detailing the comings and goings at The White House in a single day last fall. Making things run smoothly and on time has to be one of the toughest parts to it all.

Utah Honors with Presidential China Exhibit

Old our friend Set Momjian has again taken his terrific display on the road. This time it is an exhibition in Salt Lake City retailer O.C. Tanner that is 'must see'. Momjian's collection is truly a gem and if you ever get the chance, be sure to see it. We've seen no other collection that is as complete and as thorough as the Presidential china collection of Joan and Set Momjian.

Here is a link to the article in the Salt Lake City newspaper:

A Perfect Breakfast

Someone forwarded this picture from the blog of a bed-and-breakfast in Richmond, MAURY PLACE at MONUMENT. What a great idea and I am sure their guests were very impressed! What a memorable way to differentiate this bed-and-breakfast.

They've got some great photos and posts on their blog. Be sure to take a look.

When I am overnighting in Richmond, I know where I am going to stay....I suggest you do the same.

Here's the link to their blog:
