job of keeping the table cheery
during dark grey days.

Time to knit now.

thinking of paris ?

Today,
i found this link,
with a handy list of
places to go (eat, drink)
and places to stay
while you're in Paris.

apparently, Gwyneth Paltrow
has a newsletter called Goop.
ok, i didn't know about that
until today. But don't let
her celebrity status put you
off having a look at the list of
Parisian choices.

click here to see her
List of Places for Paris ...

and i've been to the Café of the
restaurant Helen Darroze.
i can testify that it's wonderful
food and atmosphere ...

and you won't want to miss the chance.

I'm not heading to
Paris any time soon.
But if you have the chance ....
i know you'll have fun.

and Guess WHERE this is !

Ready? it's candied Ginger.
No, i didn't make it.
but it's in My kitchen.

another happy Surprise .. . .
i don't think this box will stay
closed for much longer.

Tick, tick tick, i think it's going
to open right after Lunch time!

this just Arrived in the mail. . .
it made me chuckle.
The girl on the card is
wearing an Armani jacket.
You can just imagine how much
that cute jacket costs.
It won't be appearing in my
closet.

Armani, there's a fashion show.
