Something’s Brewing

As the problems are one by one solved in Laguna, my mind turns to France.  Waiting, wanting, to just be there.  It is another existence, which makes me complete and renders me unconditionally happy.  Where ancient Moroccan baskets with holes in them are not only tolerated, but loved~

I long to step inside the petit salon, the door decorated for the season,

and the table set for two or for ten~

I have a few really great projects in the works in SoCal, involving styling and food~

and we will most definitely have a fall farm to table dinner in Laguna that will feature some fall-ish produce~

I am also getting some new copper and other French pieces to add to my collection; can’t wait to show you~ no need to despair when great food, great friends,wonderful projects and life in France awaits~

    Good morning, Andrea!
    Tonight, my daughter and I will be taking our first classic French cooking class! I am here to tell you two things...I gave you a tiny shout out at the end of my post today and...I will say a little silent prayer for you between each course on this very special night!

    Adore the Moroccan...would love to have one as well as the basket. I wish you were here

    Staying positive every day!
