dreaming of baking..



Is it bad to dream about having time to bake?  The Mr. bought me a french deserts baking book for Christmas which I have yet to try, just not enough time!!  I am dreaming of making homemade goodies and eating them up with a hot cup of tea.

2012 a little review... my love affair with instagram


It has been a wonderful year!  I was looking through my photos and realized that I really have an obsession with not only my phone but with Instagram..  It allows me to capture any moment of my life and I love to be able to see what inspires me after in a little refresher long after the moment has passed.   These are just a few of my favorites....



































This last one is one of my all time favorites.. love these guys!  Wishing you a wonderful day of memories from 2012!  xoxo

Christmas table...


Living in California at Christmastime can be such a gift.  We are often able to spend the day in the sunshine outside with family.  I don't know that I have ever had a white Christmas and who knows if I ever will, that's okay with me for now.  I saw this beautiful table setting and I fell in love with it and how simply beautiful it was.
Wishing you and yours a very wonderful holiday!

My Winter Table





This year we have had the chance to have a few gatherings around our table and I cannot wait to have more in the coming years.  I fell for a picture that I found of a table done in white and linen.  This is my loose imitation with my favorite thick linen napkins and some vintage pieces that we picked up this year.  I hope you are looking forward to the new year as much as I am!

Dreaming {by invitation}




Dreams are such a fun thing.  I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me.  I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.

 I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas.  A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!


This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites!  Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans.  Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food.  It would be amazing we would cook and read.


We would ride bikes around just so we could see everything and stop anywhere. 


Eating outside as often as possible would be the norm..


My mind might even be free enough to have time to create some new classics based on old methods.


 

I would have the time and patience to learn how to draw and possibly paint.



A girl can dream right!

What about you what do you dream about?



Please take a minute to stop by and see everyone who participated today!!
