The Seasonal Shift

The seasonal shift is always a favorite of mine. I think that’s one of the reasons why I do truly love living in New Jersey - every new season brings a freshness. Spring time is the best and there is something about stepping outside and feeling that first warm breeze - it just resets my mindset!

Happy Anniversary!

Celebrating year one of Catherine Rose Design & CO. is something I only dreamed about a year ago. I cannot believe how fast this past year went!

My Vacation Journal

Vacation was a dream. California, O’ahu, and Maui (my favorite!) all packed into 14 magical days.

Thankful

Thankful has an entirely new meaning to me this year. I can’t believe that I took this little dream of mine and launched it into CRD&CO. I feel like I’ve been pinching myself since last month’s launch.
