Bitters…

I love bitters in a drink, and so, was thrilled when a friend gifted my household with Brad Thomas Parson’s book all about bitters.  I suggest going out and getting a copy as it is chock full of interesting history lessons and wonderful recipes.  Here’s one of my favorites… Meyer Lemon Bitters Zest of 4 Meyer […]

Katie Ermilio

I am totally enamored with the designs from young designer Katie Ermilio. Ermilio, the daughter of a bespoke menswear tailor has the knack! Clearly it’s in her blood (her grandfather made clothes for Grace Kelly) but her aesthetic is fresh an bold. I’m obsessed!

The Perfectly Imperfect Home

From former Editor in Chief of Domino, Deborah Needleman, The Perfectly Imperfect Home, a book about how to have a beautiful home that is actually lived in, is an inspiration!

The Water

I came across this song, from Johnny Flynn & Laura Marling, yesterday and had to share. I think it is so sweet and enchanting. It reminds me of the old Ian & Sylvia records my dad used to play when I was little. Enjoy & have a wonderful weekend!

Well here’s one for my sister, the avid puzzle solver. When I came across these puzzle alternatives to a traditional […]

Donna Hay is my hero

I have been a long time fan of Australian homemaker, cook, all around renaissance woman Donna Hay and her fabulous cookbooks & magazine. I have subscribed for many years and must say that anytime I’m in a jam looking for the perfect recipe she never fails to come through for me. So, when I started […]

Anything But Turkey…

Every year, part of my Thanksgiving tradition is attending a party thrown in my town called the ‘Anything But Turkey Party’ or as we all call it the ‘ABT.’ As you can probably tell from the name it is a potluck type shindig where anything but turkey can be served up. This year we’re bringing […]
