What Does the TravelLady Do
When She's Not Traveling?

By Madelyn Miller

Most people carry pictures of their children, or show vacation shots to all their friends.

Since I travel so much, I sometimes get a little homesick for my loft and friends.

So I decided to post them on the site so I can take a quick peak at them while I am on the road, and everyone who is interested in what I do on vacation—can take a quick peak.

Madelyn’s Loft

I live in a historic building in Downtown Dallas, just 3 blocks from the Dallas Convention Center. The building was originally the Sears Regional Headquarters.

I live on the top floor, in an area that was once bedding. I feel like I have died and gone to heaven to go to sleep every night in a retail store. It is the fantasy of every shopaholic

Madelyn’s Friends

Those wonderful, understanding, patient people who are there for me when I am home, and even help me while I am traveling. My friend Rochelle Brown, of Fox-TV Insights program overnighted my business cards one time when I forgot them. Another time she picked up my car when it had stalled the night before I went to Portugal.

Since I review movies when I am home, I have a lot of screeners. I love to invite friends to view them with me. Wine writer Diane Tietlebaum usually brings the wine, and friends Kevin Kalley and David Currier add a gourmet flair. Diane is teaching me to spit, because I still like to swallow.

My favorite shopping buddies are Liz Berger and Rochelle Brown.

Madelyn’s family

Son Greg lives in New York, Daughter Punzel has inherited my gypsy spirit and if I tell you where she lives, this will be out of date soon. My Mom lives in Florida and I think I got my gourmet and shopping genes from her.

Some people think I look like my daughter Punzel. What do you think

My brother Len Jensky loves chocolate desserts. Sometimes I share with him. Here I am sharing with him and my daughter Punzel.

Madelyn’s Pets

You must be kidding. I am not home enough to walk or feed a pet. I hardly get to the grocery store to feed myself.  I do have a charming wooden handmade cactus from Oaxaca. And a few rubber ducks to float in the bathtub.

Madelyn’s collections

I can’t resist cowboy boots. I have zillions. When I travel, I love to bring back interesting textiles, buttons and beads. I usually go to the grocery stores and markets and find local spices to bring back to continue to enjoy new flavors and tastes.
