Getting Ready for the Show (01-17-11)

I started pulling things out of storage: cool shoes, lamps, small collectibles, and other items that caught my interest. I am going to look over the furniture in the next few days, to make sure everything is ready for the Big Day.

Lots of nice things.

Felix guards the treasures...

Bûches de Noël...or Yule Logs? (12-28-10)

Ah...The delicious pastries we make to mark the holidays! Nothing is more portent of Christmas than the Bûche de Noël, a thin sponge cake filled with Chestnut butter cream, rolled into the shape of a log, and covered in Chocolate butter cream. It's a pleasure for the eyes and the mouth...

Ah...Vintage beauties... (11-04-10)

I love wedding dresses; don't you? The crisp white of a straight-line satin dress edged with delicate pearls, or the buttery shades of old tulle softened by age...

Lovely Fall Blooms (10-07-10)

Hydrangeas (in French, they're called Hortensias) are so giving and extravagant! They are the jewels of the fall garden.

Lavender Dreams (07-12-10)

This is a view of the fragrant lavender growing at the front of the property. I plan to gather it next year and make sachets to sell... Won't that be wonderful?!
