she fell in love at the seaside

Happy Thanksgiving!

i hope you’re having a wonderful holiday weekend!

we’re in Rhode Island for the weekend and the weather is just stunning.  we are going to walk down to the beach soon to smell some salty air and watch the waves crash on the rocks…  and we wont even need coats!

every year my mother and i cook Thanksgiving dinner for my whole family.  Adam helps by chopping and prepping, my father makes a cheesecake and everyone else shows up with some sort of appetizer and healthy appetites!

carrot soup with sweet pea cream, served in my great grandmothers china.

we only use the Meito gold encrusted china a few times a year, and i just adore it when we do.  i love to think about all the special meals that have been served on these dishes, how many family members and friends that have used these over the last 80+ years…

“the” meal

turkey, cranberry, mashed potatoes, yams and butternut squash, stuffing, string beans and braised brussel sprouts with bacon and a maple syrup glaze

pumpkin spice cheesecake — the perfect balance of creamy goodness, fall flavors and just the perfect amount of sweet

earth is so my new space

since my first night flight i was in love with the sharp golds and rich dense blacks, phthalo blues, peridot and maroon that twisted and sparkled as we lifted off into the sky…  i imagined silk velvets embroidered with sequins and paillettes, beading and stitching.. couture really.  i saw the planet and i wanted to wear it.

don’t you?
