Good morning! A couple of weeks ago I went on my first trip to Maine ( you can read about it Here and Here) and although I did not get to see the traditional “Fall Colors” I did manage to capture the local color. Maybe it is because I fell in love with Maine but everything seemed brighter,…
Good morning! Can you believe that it is already October? Dare I say that soon it will be time to think about the turkey and the mistletoe? Image from Julep and The Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation As you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and is a cause that is very close to…

Image from TASTE Good morning! Another Friday and the first official in Fall. To me Fall weekends are all about football, food and relaxing. This week like many before I find myself drawn to food and photography. Taste the Williams Sonoma Blog has a recipe round-up for game day. Great ideas for dips, sides and mains….
Good morning! As you know from yesterdays post I spent the last week in Maine and in addition to taking in all of the breathtaking views I did manage a little shopping. After all a person needs a souvenir or two to remember their trip by. I visited the boutiques, a flea market, and even…

Good morning and happy Fall! I am back from a wonderful adventure to Maine. It was my first time visiting both New Hampshire and Maine and I am sure that I am not the first to say this but I will anyway, I could move there tomorrow. Both states are beautiful, laid back, filled with…
Good morning! Happy Friday!

Pumpkin Cupcakes made by Ciao Domenica Pumpkins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardomen, pies, cakes; some of…
Good morning, and a very happy, happy Friday to you. I am always ready for the weekend but as I mentioned at least once before this week has just felt very long. Hopefully the weekend will feel the same because I feel like spending a few hours in the kitchen with some pumpkin, making some…
