Report card
I recently found a box that contained letters and notes that I had written my grandparents when I was a wee little boy. My grandparents have long been gone, so it was a real kick to discover the things I had written them so many years ago. One of the favorite items I came […]
Monochromatic
For those of you following along the last few weeks post, you might recall my recent post on buying grocery store tulips (If you missed it- check it out HERE). A follow up of said tulips in situ. I love all of the whites and creams in this vignette – from the frames to the […]
Casual
Having friends over mid-week can be difficult. Not a lot of time to prep dinner after work. Sometimes I just like to have people over for a quick drink and some casual snacks. For this get together, I put out pecans, olives and radishes. I think that is nice to everything out when people arrive. […]
Lazy
Sometimes don’t you wish that you could just spend a lazy day in bed? As you can see, this isn’t particularly difficult for Campbell and Wallace. Fortunately, a recent weekend away at The Carneros Inn provided them with the opportunity to do so in luxury. The excitement of the road trip adventure just […]
Grocery store flowers
Here he goes again with the fresh flower thing, you’re thinking. I just had to share that buying flowers doesn’t have to be expensive or require an extra trip to the florist, garden store or flower market. I found these beautiful French tulips the other day at my local grocery store. They were (no joke!) […]
Ageing
I recently celebrated a birthday. I hope that I am like a good bottle of wine, ever improving with time! You know you are starting to get older when you need a pair of reading glasses while working on the computer or reading a book. Have you seen some of the really bad looking readers […]
It’s a wrap
I have a thing for grosgrain ribbon. Black grosgrain ribbon to be exact. I tend to tie up all of my gifts with it. It has become a sort of signature of mine. I have a whole drawer full of all kinds of widths. Always available on a moment’s notice to add a special little […]
Twentysomething
We interrupt our usual blog posts with a very important announcement: Campbell and Wallace turned 20 over the weekend! They are just the greatest pair. As you can see by the photo they are having a ball! They can’t wait to be able to drink champagne next year! Cheers to my very special Westies.
Playing with patterns
I just had to share my new napkins from Madeline Weinrib. I love the modern, graphic black and white chevron. They work so well with my antique French Creil plates! I enjoy mixing styles and patterns in every facet of decor. Have a great weekend!
Magazines
There are always stacks and stacks of magazines everywhere in my life – from my desk to my bedside table. Everything from design to fashion to food. Hope that you had a great weekend. You know what I was up to!
