Locales of Intrigue: The Land of Tarte

Meet the Queen. She is unpretentious (no need to curtsy) laughs easily, and is often found wearing a crown of flowers rather than one of precious jewels and gold. Her realm consists of the Land of Tarte and her palace is a barn.

This is just a bit of the article Robin Laws wrote about the Land of Tarte found in Somerset Life Magazine (July, August, September issue). I am so proud of what we have created in the barn and am amazed at the talent of Robins incredible photographs...Thank you Robin for writing such a beautiful and spirited article that truly captures the essence of the Land of Tarte. Be sure to go out and pick up your copy...on newstands now. xoxo Cindy

Thank you......so...much....to everyone who came out to the Land of Tarte on Saturday. We had an amazing day with so many new faces and fantastic comments. I am always so excited to see everyone in the morning of the sale, waiting in line, excited to come in, bringing their friends from near and far. Your excitement, participation and support means the world to me! A very special thank you once again to the twins...Diana and Donna, Joe and Jermonne of Barn House, Erin and her adorable daughter for bringing the most beautiful flowers, plant and organic treats. King Tarte for all your help and support, Robin for your incredible photographs and positive energy and Natalie for sending your delicious cake...wish you could have been there! And to Betty who comes to help me get the finishing touches on the barn...I am so appreciative of you hard work and talent. Enjoy the photos...and mark your calenders for next month July 25th.

A New Shoe


I have a little obsession with shoes and tend to go a little overboard sometimes...After every show I treat myself to a new pair of shoes... therfore am very proud to show them off. I still have my favorites that I wear more often than others, and of course there are a few that only make it out of the closet on very special occassions. This photo courtesy of Mimi Charmante is one of my new favorites...very pale pink suede with a very high cork heel...had to take them off halfway through the party....enjoy! xoxo Cindy
P.S. Maybe someday my dressing room will be organized enough to show you all photos of the shoe obsession!!
