A Little Note…
Hello my dear friends! I’m quite ill at the moment, lots of chicken soup and long naps — so I’ll be back in full swing again soon. I hope you don’t mind that you’ll be a bit on your own until my return. I was working yesterday on location as a freelance stylist and had so much fun, then I got home and wham-o — this massive headache hit, then cold chills… so to bed I went and slept for 12 hours – got up at 5:00 a.m. with this yucky ache all over so I’m resting until I’m better. Bleh. I am simply giving in and taking care of myself.
I miss you though but I’ll be back very soon, in fact I’m hoping for Wednesday or Thursday. But until then, I’m going back to my little warm nest where there is a stack of magazines, Angry Birds on my iPhone, lots of tea and warm soup waiting for my return. xo

Oh Dear,
Get well soon!
Here’s something that will make you feel better!
I received your book from Amazon today and I was definately expecting a really wonderful book!
Holly, your book is beyond amazing!
It is way above and beyond any design book that I have ever read.
Infact, I recently took a popular design book back to the store because it was so homogenous.
Decorate has so many steps and ideas and instructions as well as gorgeous photos and quotes.
I can tell you put your heart and soul into this book.
Stunning in everyway,Holly.
Rest Well and Feel Good Soon,
Tina

Holly,
I don’t know if you get can get Emergen-C over in Germany, but when you’re back in the States this summer for your book tour, stock up! Whenever I am sick or start to feel under-the-weather, I’ll double up on Emergen-C (one in the a.m., one in the p.m.) – which is overkill, I realize, but it always seems to help me kick the bug faster. Be well soon.
May 5th, 2011 at 2:14am
We will miss you, Holly. But your health is number one. So please do get plenty of rest and tea. Hope you get better soon!
May 5th, 2011 at 2:17am
You have been on a whirlwind with your book launching. Stay home and get rest your body needs. Watch some old movies, they are great to watch when you are feeling sick.
