he first CD I ever bought for myself was C&C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat” in 1990. I was nine years old and coming off a binge of New Kids on the Block and MC Hammer tapes. Looking back, the content of the CD was probably wildly inappropriate for my age, but I have such fond memories of dancing so hard to those up-beat Nineties tunes. Music has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up playing the piano and remember belting songs from “The Little Mermaid” while I played when no one else was home. I played the clarinet through college. I even met my husband in jazz band in high school. But lest you think I’m a run-of-the- mill band nerd (OK, so I was president of the band in high school), I fell in love with my husband watching him on stage playing his guitar and singing. And he’s still in a band, so I’m assuming that ups my cool factor overall. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t find joy, peace, happiness, contemplation, or energy simply by listening to music. And no matter what type you listen to, it is a part of our history and culture as an outward expression of our deepest emotions. In this issue we focused a little on music, mostly its impact on fashion, which is an incred- ible trip down memory lane for this 1980s baby. There’s also some music-inspired Etsy finds and a DIY project turning a record into a bound book. Aside from the music-related, we found two incredible homes, both completely different styles, that we absolutely adore. In fact, I wish we had saved Margaret Tao’s home for spring just to put it on the cover, but alas we cannot live with regrets. I’m just happy she opened her doors to us. There’s a super classy wedding shot at the Weston Red Barn Farm, some cheap penny crafting projects, Dustin’s awesome ideas for revamping a fireplace, and the most deli- cious pies for the holiday season from The Upper Crust. And of course steadfast advice from your faves: Jennifer, Michael, James and Deb. I would be remiss to enter the fall season without expressing my gratitude for the writers, contributors, photographers and advertisers in this magazine. Each of you makes this dream possible, and for that I couldn’t be more thankful. Especially for Calli ... if you like fashion, you’re going to love the fashion issue she’s been working on all year. It comes out in a few weeks! Music that Moves T

In other news, we’ve still got big things in the works with our friend Dustin, and for those who signed up for small business classes, hang on, because those are coming, too. It’s definitely not easy managing lofty goals and big ambitions, and some things don’t pan out the way you’d like, but we keep plugging along, and I’ve found there’s always a reason to be happy. Always something to be thankful for. I’m thankful for you. And music. From my 9-year-old self, say it with me: Everybody dance now...
