Good morning! Happy Friday and a happy weekend! Have you had a great week? I have, the weather has been beautiful, I finished a lot of work, did a lot around the house and now I am ready to relax.

If you are looking for a little relaxation and winter entertainment, Vicki from French Essence posted about the 10 Best Winter Wonderland Movies on Netflix this week. There is something for everyone.

If you prefer perusing blog sfor relaxation check out this house owned by Cynthia Frank from Elle Decor that Simply Smitten  featured this week. I love it!

I discovered a fun new fashion blog this week called Teggy French, if you like fun frocks, and glamorous destinations I think you will enjoy it too.

Image from Chocolate and Zucchini

Chocolate & Zucchini was one of the first blogs that I ever read and I have loved following along on the adventures of Clotilde. Recently, she married her long-time love and this bread bouquet made by the famous Polaine bakery is one of my favorite parts of her beautiful day. Seriously, a bread bouquet! I wish I had had one!

Are you fascinated by France and the beautiful Chateau Versailles? Then you will love this new blog that I discovered called This is Versailles it is filled with interesting articles about the kings, queens, etiquette, fashion and more.

If you need a little treat this weekend, whip up a batch of these fabulous, fudgy, Classic Brownies from Once Upon a Chocolate Life.

I will be making this over the top Moist chocolate Cake from Rumbly Tumbly because I haven’t had a piece of cake in a long while and this looks delicious!

By the way, I made the Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese I features last week in my Friday favorites post, made by Pip & Ebby. It was so easy and so good!

What about you? Dis you discover a good movie, book, recipe, article or interesting tid bit this week? If so please share with me!

I hope that you have a happy and safe weekend.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
