friday field trip (from the sketch book).

june 2011

vallauris, france

when i lived in france for the month of june, i ate caviar almost every day. it was the perfect addition to my breakfast (a spoonful over my eggs) and the perfect mid-day snack (dolloped on a cracker). my corner grocer always had it stocked but why is it so much harder to find here ? weird.

fall.

fall is my FAVORITE season of the year. i love the slight crispness in the air, the abundance of root vegetables, and the onset of the holidays . . . (my birthday, thanksgiving, and christmas).

and although fall is not quite here yet, i designed a limited edition set of fall plates that you can ONLY get at terrain .

see them here.

mix + match.

i am a big fan of the mix + match. you can tell by the way i dress and in the things (and people) i have around me. i have ONE pair of these oddball salt + pepper cellars in my store. this is the combination i have on my own stove.

you can see them HERE.

h2o lily.

the water lily at dawn . . .

the same water lily at dusk.

this was at our dock in vermont. water lily flowers are beautifully showy and fragrant and they last only a few days. some open during the day and close at night, others do the opposite. this one did the former (did you know that most water lilies are pollinated by beetles?). i think they are simply magnificent.
