Liza’s Local Finds for Valentine’s Day

What do I really want this Valentine’s Day? The same thing I always want but never seem to get for my birthday: a night at a hotel ALONE. Let me sleep in freshly pressed sheets, have room service and stay up late watching TV from my bed. Let me sleep until 9 o’clock and perhaps get a massage. I know: so not romantic and I love my husband to pieces but, I confess that it is always way up there on the want list. OK out of fantasy and into reality: I’m writing about what actually can be wrapped, given and appreciated.

So, here are Liza’s picks:

“His is Hers” sleep shirt: Available at Rebecca Vaughn, and designed by local resident Liz King. Really. I want nothing sexier than this. If you buy me a Pajam-O-Gram, you can sleep in the guest room. Claridge & King

Dorsey McHugh. Local artist known throughout the country, has started a newline of mixed media work. One gem is this still life that has words written across the top. It’s hard to read in this picture, but across the top left it says, “Love- liking, affection, kindness, attachment, esteem…” Dorsey says this medium allows her to “weave words among the images. A new way to layer meaning and interest. Poetry and image sing together.” This would fit anywhere and into any decor. Buy this for your husband or wife and look at the layers of wonder for years to come. Dorsey McHugh
