PHILLY SNOW!

We woke up to a beautiful snow storm here in Philadelphia. We are finishing a few last minute tasks and then heading away from HORNE for a week-long Holiday. All orders placed from Dec 19-27 will begin processing on Dec 27th. Our offices will re-open on Dec 28th at 10:00am EST. If you have a question, need some help or just want to say hello, we will continue to answer emails during this time (info@shophorne.com).

Happy Holidays!

Adobe Christmas Card

My super-talented sister, Katelyn, created this amazing Christmas card for my family's business. The Adobe House is one of the ranch-houses on our land originally lived-in by cattle ranchers and was recently lovingly restored by my father. It now houses a visual history of my family and their business, JE Parker Ranchlands. This sure does beat the usual Christmas Card which would consist of a poorly photoshoped picture of my father, dressed as Santa, dangerously climbing a windmill. Good Job Katelyn!!

It's me...I swear!


So, I was browsing some wedding blogs today (yes even though I am married I just can't seem to tear myself away from them) and I saw myself! Jose Villa is advertising on the blog StyleMePretty.com (my personal favorite) and is currently using my photo. You can't really tell it is me, my back is to the camera, but still! It totally made my day. Ryan thinks I am a cheeseball but it is the little things that make me happy.


p.s. come january we may have some exciting news about our wedding! stay tuned.

"Here we come a wassailing..."

Check out our "Behind the Bar" column for Design*Sponge. We featured a Wassail Punch that tastes just as good as it looks. While away for Thanksgiving, we made it with my sister, Jillian, and her boyfriend, Paul. We listened to crackly jazz on Paul's record player and drank the fruit's of our labor while we put up some Christmas ornaments.




p.s. we just added some BEAUTIFUL vintage quilts!

Have a great weekend!
