Friday Favorites from Dinner at the Zoo, Town and Country, Chelsea’s Messy Apron, and More

Good morning! Happy Friday to you, did you have a good week? Mine was pretty uneventful as I spent most of it trying to get back into my routine and taking care of the tasks that pile up when one is out of town.

Pasta is one of my favorite things to eat especially if they contain my favorite Fall foods. This recipe for Butternut Squash Pasta with Chicken and Bacon from Dinner at the Zoo is perfect for a cool Fall evening. 

Doesn’t this Crunchy Autum Pasta Salad from Chelsea’s Messy Apron look delicious? I cannot wait to make this!

It’s going to be a cool Fall weekend here and I have a basket of apples so I think I will make this Harvest Apple Pie.

If you are a fan of the Barefoot Contessa here are Ina Garten’s 11 Best Recipes for Fall.

This post will have you looking twice at the art the next time you stroll through a museum. 

Are you a fan of Kate Middleton? Here is the untold story of her engagement ring. Yes there is more to the ring than the fact that it was Princess Diana’s.

Oscar de la Renta is an icon of fashion, this Exhibit in Houston at the Museum of Fine Arts features some of his stunning pieces including Amal Clooney’s wedding dress. 

Thanksgiving is a month away so there is still time to order your invitations. Here are a few of my favorites. I love the idea of a printed invitation or even a family photo. 

Did you make, read, do or see anything interesting this week that you want to share? I am particularly interested in soup recipes if you have them. 

I hope that you have a great weekend.

    Re the museum, there's a Canadian photographer, François Brunelle, who spent 12 years tracking down people who look like identical twins but who aren't even related. We're more alike than we realize. Google the Doppelganger project.

    Hello Elizabeth
    I love the recipes you published. The salad is particularly appealing with walnuts, apples. Can't wait to take this. I do like the Barefoot Contessa and will look forward to perusing her recipes.

    Wishing you a delightful weekend

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart! Have a great day! #heart #hearthealth #vintagestyle #love #heartshaped #scrabbletiles #handmade #handcarved

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

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
