Hey guys!I took this photo a while ago, to prove that I DO sometimes dress professionally (!), which feels like a good analogy for this re-introduction! 😉 Thought I’d say hello to any new followers who don’t know me personally. I am a mother, wife, publicist, and shop owner. Twenty-four years ago (this May will be the 25th anniversary!) I started Ruby Press, my PR agency. I LIVE for helping small businesses grow, and while I work with businesses around the globe, I get especially excited about helping those in the Hudson Valley, where I call home. I work with the big guys (our first event was for Chanel!) and the small guys (I can consult hourly to stretch even the smallest budget). I specialize in home decor/interiors, food/bev/hospitality, beauty/wellness, retail, and art/design. I also own a shop in our charming Village of Chatham, called @martonanddavis with my biz partner @sherridarling14. We opened just six months ago, and are proud to have been named one of @archdigest’s Best Home Decor Shops in America, one of @folkmagazine’s favorite shops of 2025, and have been featured twice by @the_shopkeepers. ❤️ (This is the second shop I’ve created- the first was for our local historical society, @mercantileatthevdp.) Thanks for taking the time to read this, and my very best wishes for 2026! ✨

Can you even believe the talents of @mgamwell? ✨🥰 I met Melissa a year and a half ago at the @stissinghouse Craft Feast and couldn’t stop thinking about her work. Fast forward to today, and I am delighted to be selling her gorgeous calligraphed tags and art at @martonanddavis and to call her my friend.

A perfect day in Boston today. 🥰 Checked out the incredible@gardnermuseum and was lucky enough to see the nasturtiums in bloom, had the MOST delicious drinking chocolate at @burdickchocolate, wandered Newbury Street and Beacon Hill, enjoyed a lobster roll and 🥂 at @saltiegirl, picked up pastries at @tattebakery, and browsed books at @beaconhillbooksandcafe . (Thanks for the travel tips, @angrybaker! 😘)

Because lately it’s either doomscrolling or talking about how much snow you got with this last storm, am I right?? 🥶

Yes, our Christmas decor is STILL up. 😂 I love the porch trees so much- I dread taking them down. (And this morning’s snow is so pretty, I had to capture the obligatory footage all around the house and yard!) Happy Snow Day! ❄️

I can’t think of a better spot to have celebrated @angrybaker’s birthday! The Farmhouse at @junefarms was the PERFECT place for a memorable getaway with my special ladies… 😉 Three perfect bedrooms, big windows with ridic views, three gorgeous bathrooms with tubs, a kitchen stocked with everything (and I mean EVERYTHING you could possibly need), a huge hot tub (which is a pool in the summer!), lots of chic lounging areas, a deck, a porch, a screening room…. 🥰. Loved celebrating @angrybaker with you @ninecakes / @boots_thorleifson- when are we going back??? 🥰❤️🍾🥂

Being stuck at home getting over Covid is KILLING me, but the silverlining?Being home for the nine (!) hours straight that it takes to make the @cooksillustrated Chocolate Babka. ❤️ If you haven’t tried this recipe, I HIGHLY recommend. (I’ll link to it in my stories today.)

Well, the first annual Cookie Swap & Contest at @junefarms was a smashing success. Thank you to @magnoliabakery CEO, Chief Baking Officer (and cookbook author!) @bakewithbobbie for judging the cookie contest, and congrats to our grand prize winner @mykindofamazing.

Our Book Club Holiday Fête is always one of my favorite nights of the year! ✨🌲🥂❤️ Love you ladies!! (@damsel_garden, you were with us in spirit!!)

The porch trees are up, and the snow has fallen. 🥰❄️🌲✨

Let the season begin!! 🙌🏼🌲✨❤️
