Last year DH, Stella, and I journeyed to Nantucket via a car ride to Cape Cod then a fairly relaxed ferry ride there the next morning. We stayed in a cute B&B in Eastham, Cape Cod. We visited Nantucket for several hours and left about 4 pm. I was very happy we got to take …
First Attempt at Quiche Lorraine
This is my first attempt at making quiche. The recipe was pretty simple with easy to find ingredients. I really didn’t have to buy much this time. Recipe source: http://www.easy-french-food.com/print-quichelorraine.html. I’m normally not a bacon lover but this quiche was very tasty. Glad to know based on what I’ve read from Alice Water’s The Art …
New Shower Curtains for the Bathroom
I fell in love with them instantly! So feminine and vintagey; made of eggshell white tulle and lace! The previous Shabby Chic one was due for another cleaning. *Photocredit: DH
A Need To Vent A Little…
Why is it that people seem to always have a strong negative opinion about wide leg pants? It doesn’t matter whether someone is tall or petite like me, people blurt out the dumbest things. It’s definitely worse when you’re short and love wide legs… People will say, “gee, what happened, did you lose a bunch …
Carla Mancini & Bodhi Handbags
I’ve only discovered these two brands within the past two years. I’m sure they’ve been popular for much longer. The pics shown below are my favorites from CM and Bodhi during a recent online browsing. Though I haven’t changed my opinion regarding suede handbags (doesn’t fare well during rainy weather and therefore limits use), I …
Panier des Sens Soaps
On a recent trip to the NY Botanical Gardens, I found these beautiful soaps by Panier des Sens at the gift shop. Initially I bought their Fig set which came with the most precious blush colored clay dish (I’m crazy for little dishes). Soon after using the first bar, I ordered some more sets to …
Natural Formulations by Korres
I’m all for trying new products. You never know when you will find the one product which will someday become your all-time favorite. I first saw Korres offered on Hautelook and was excited to see such lovely scents like jasmine, vanilla plum, and fig. Since I had so many beauty products waiting-in-the-wings, I allowed myself …
All In The Details…
Tracy Porter has really pretty serving bowls and tureens for sale. Great for larger families who still eat supper at the dining table and who have a big pantry. I love to see a beautifully decorated table with a vase of fresh flowers, nice flatware & linens, and delicious food being served in colorful floral …
French-Style Braised Cabbage
I’ve made this recipe twice, once with red cabbage and last night using green cabbage. Both are so good! You have to try it! It’s also so simple to do. Braised Red Cabbage (Chou Rouge Braisé) Source: http://www.easy-french-food.com/red-cabbage-recipe.html * 1 head of red cabbage * 4 tablespoons butter * 1 large onion, peeled * 2 …
Fendi Sequin Baguette
One of the most coveted of all Fendi baguettes. I believe this bag was featured in the movie, 13 Going On 30, starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. The pathetic thing is, I can’t seem to find any close-up pics of her bag (Fendi silver sequined baguette). Surely someone mentioned/reviewed such a gorgeous bag somewhere …
