Inspiration
Sometimes a picture can say a thousand words. Here are some photos from last week. Hope that you had a great weekend! The view from my client’s office, where we had a meeting. I don’t think that I could work there – as I would always be looking out the window! Blue and white […]
Inspiration
The last few weeks I have been really into color – and lots of it. Maybe I can feel spring just around the corner. I just love the blue of these antique foo dogs The crisp yellow of this garden stool The graphic blue and white zig zag table cloth (that is now covering […]
Please don’t call it a COUCH!
There are certain, very particular things that make us all cringe and send chills up our spines. For some, it might be nails on a chalkboard or screeching brakes. For myself, it is a one syllable word that makes me want to scream – in fact, it makes me squirm to simply type […]
Snack Time
This past weekend, I was a busy bee in the kitchen. A good friend was turning 40, and she asked me if I would make some snacks for her birthday party. Work is very busy (no complaining here!), so I needed something easy and simple – my mission cocktail snacks that are healthy and […]

I have been taking weekly French lessons to prepare. In Morocco I have found amazing riads to stay in both Marrakech and Fez. I am […]
Inspiration
This winter, I have fallen in love all over again with grapefruit. I have been eating it for breakfast, putting it in salads and making cocktails (a bit of vodka and a splash of Saint Germain). There is something about the smell and the taste that is just intoxicating. Grapefruit always remind me of my […]
Behind the scenes
Remember when your parents told you to not play with your food? I like to rebel a bit at times. When it comes to finding durable fabrics for clients, I don’t mess around. As you can see from this photo, this is how we spent one morning this week. Ketchup, soy sauce, and a […]
Do you sea what I see?
Sometimes picking a birthday present can be complicated. What do you give to your favorite “Auntie” who is turning 70? Someone who has everything she needs in life and collections of everything – whether she needs it or not. I wanted to pick something memorable that wouldn’t just collect dust on a shelf. I […]
