    I really like the Delaunay designs., and also the upholstery on the chairs in the Kathy Ireland room ,, red with wildlife.

    Was Kathy Ireland a model?

    During my four years in Durham (Duke), there was just a dusting of snow a couple of times--8 inches is unheard of!! I just listened to NPR......apparently everyone in NC should stay home until the snow melts. Please stay warm and safe. Love the Delaunay coats. Great design never is dated.

    And don't drive anywhere!

    What a weather emergency! We have two out of three daughters; and 5 out of 7 grandchildren here in Montecito.......one daughter in Marblehead..........had to go to the market on cross-country skis!

    Yikes! Batten down the hatches!

    Yowzers!
