Strawberry Jam

Strawberries were on sale at last week's farmer's market. $10 for a flat. Oh boy!

kitchen chickens!

Try to say that three times fast. Bought six rooster/hen prints the other day. Planning to frame and hang... oh boy!

New Things

Did a little hunter/gathering this week and wanted to share my bounty. But first, a simple pleasure- freshly lit fire. Blanco the Pig is getting a tan.
Apple Corer/Peeler/Slicer from Williams-Sonoma. Going to tackle a bushel of apples for Thanksgiving pie!
Detail of French waiter tray from an antique store in town.
Tray from a distance. Makes the dresser seem oh-so-organized.
Kitchen scale from same local store. It works and I adore the color.
Also found some gorgeous rooster/hen prints for the kitchen and will post them tomorrow!

Melissa's House

My sweet friend Melissa just bought a beautiful house in Studio City and let me stay in her extra bedroom this week. Such a treat. Her home is filled with a mixture of inherited objects and thrift store treasures. So many gorgeous details... a few of which I'll share. Starting with the doorknobs.
Coveting this upholstered chair and the table beside it.
What a collection of Jadite!
I'm now on the lookout for one of these for my firewood.
And of course the chickens won me over. A little livestock goes a long way when living in a city.
If only blogger would allow more than 5 photos! Thank you again Melissa for putting me up.
