Cutest Gift Ever!

OK, at least for someone 21 or older. This was a birthday gift to me from my dear friend, Holly. It's the perfect sized little flask for a dirty martini on the go. It even came with a little funnel so not a drop gets wasted. Don't we all deserve a little cocktail after slaving away so hard in the kitchen? (The flask came from a gift shop called "Y-Not" in Carlise, PA) Maybe something to keep in mind for the friend who has everything. Make mine with Belvedere please.

What I'm into this week...

SUZANIS!

These gorgeous textiles are made in Uzbekistan. Vintage ones can be found quite reasonably. They look gorgeous at the foot of a bed with with white matelasse or tossed over the back of a sofa. Find one with a little damage? Make it into pillows. It's a great opportunity to bring something handmade into your home.

Let's Talk Chocolate

It has come to my attention that I love South American chocolate. This is one of my favorites; I get it at Trader Joes. This bitter dark chocolate goes great with a glass of syrah or even a cab... it can handle it. Comment to me and let me know your favorite chocolates, we'll have a taste test.
