another guilty pleasure...

ok, i must confess. on occasion, i have been known to grab a box of cherry or strawberry off the shelf... i used to eat these on saturday mornings growing up in front of the tv watching cartoons (totally dating myself)

my sweet friend mary who is an incredible pastry chef, has her very successful business always has a box of cinnamon on her shelf in case of "emergency".

ck this out pop tart store going into times square !!

we all have our comfort foods... what are yours?

family houses by the sea...

one of my favorite books is "family houses by the sea" the color green gets me everytime... the cover shot reveals pure summer... i can smell the salty air...

so when i found this... you can only imagine... now, for sale at red ticking..

blue and white... yes, again....

as most of you know, my favorite color is white... but right behind it is blue... put the two together and i am super happy. take a look at what is coming to red ticking as i write this...

waiting is the hardest part...

yes, 24 corners... can you guess who the artist is for that tune??

i am off on another buying trip next week and looking forward to a couple of days of this at the tail end... i can feel it now...

i think i posted this photo previously... oh well.. who cares.. i love it...

quilts

i have a fascination with great antique whimsical quilts... and so does my client.

we see them and melt. we viewed a $10m home today that was quite similar to my last post (for her, surely not in my budget) on the water and magnificent... pure craftsmanship and yet, cozy and lived in... in almost every room lived a fabulous old quilt... tucked around a bench cushion, folded over a bed, draped over a sofa...made into a pillow...

here is one that will surely gets snagged... immediately.

and yes, one day i will share photos of the home... simply stunning.

sensational....

i have no idea where this photo came from... (my sincere apologies)

all i know is... it is truly one of my most favorites.

hope you all had a great weekend... xx
