Luxurious NEW Fur And Velvet Pillow And Throws
By on November 20, 2013 with
I've always had a thing for luxurious and elegant patterns and textures. As a young camp girl when other kids were bringing home postcards, mugs and packs of gum on the long bus ride home, I wedged heavy pottery planters between my legs and a beautiful batiked pillow in between my arm rest and the window. Clearly, I had a vision for my future filled with inviting spaces. And, somehow I knew a pillow could make a statement, change a room and inspire a goal of how one would like to feel in one's life. (On a side note ~ my … [Read more...]
Current Obsessions

This Naked 2 set has been the topic of conversation with us and a few of our girlfriends. It promises to bring sparkle to a neutral palette in all the right places. Rumor has it there is a Naked 3 Palette soon to be seen. Anything made by Frye is alright in our book. This particular pair is made with vintage leather and with the studs, has that slightly rustic, chic finish that will add a little rock star to any look Free People is another brand we seem to be drawn to. And this sheer sweater, with folds in all the … [Read more...]
Hearty Guinness Beef Stew
By on November 12, 2013 with
Maybe it was a visit from our Irish friends that were here for a month on sabbatical. Maybe it was the cold, crisp fall weather outside. Whatever it was, I was inspired to make a big vat of Hearty Guinness Beef Stew. I don't know about you, but nothing says fall meal to me like dark, rich stew with a side of crusty, warm bread slathered with creamy, slightly salted butter. I know, right? You want a bowl right now, don't you? Every good stew starts with a slew of onions. (In my humble opinion.) Then with a generous pat … [Read more...]

Feast on Provencial Boards
By on November 6, 2013 with
Artisan: 1: A person skilled at making things by hand. 2: One that produces something in limited quantities often using traditional methods. We discovered these beautiful, hand "re-crafted" Provencial Boards last year. We were immediately smitten by their craftsmanship. Each board is re-purposed out of French Oak wine casks. Skilled Australian sculptors, carefully disassemble the casks and rearrange the clever puzzle of steam-bowed oak ribs and cambered end pieces to create unique, one of a kind, cheese boards. Both the … [Read more...]
