Things Lately

FRANCE. SOUTH OF FRANCE. PROVENCE.

It is no secret that I am, and as long as I could remember have been, a Francophile. I can never spend enough time in France and love returning. In the last year I have developed great interest in everything and anything to do with French cooking and the region of Provence in particular where I am planning on taking a culinary pilgrimage in the near future. This is in part to the many books I have read by Peter Mayle and of course, Julia Child. Some of my favourite books on the topic that I could read over & over have been these three...

 


THINGS I STILL PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER...
  • Watch movies under the stars & have a movie rooftop night
  • Take the most scenic route home
  • Expand our definition of getting out of town
  • Museum hop on a hot day rainy day
  • Sneak out early on more than one Friday
*Inspirations from the Kate Spade blog summer bucket list

PROJECTS. BOOKS. INSPIRATIONS.

I've been averaging at reading about three books per month lately (I love my Kindle and consider it a necessity on all the flights that I have been taking lately) but I am also inspired to take on many new projects. I have recently started painting again with watercolours and acrylics. I am also interested in mandala designs and healing crystals.



Fall 2013 Hobbies, Projects & Excitement!

I discovered the new 2013 Fall Collection at David's Tea this morning and instantly fell in love with how whimsical it is. I can't wait to sip tea out of my new multicolour animal mug and read the books that I have lined up for the fall.
