I love chocolate (who doesn’t?) and I love dessert (esp. under $5) and now I love the Dessert Truck.

I spied this beauty in this month’s Martha Stewart Living — this is Martha’s guestroom closet and I love every detail!

I’m heading to Delaware to do some research at the Winterthur library tomorrow through the weekend. I’m planning on checking out some roadfood.com gems and some flea markets and hope to feel as relaxed as this woman looks by the end of it all. Image via Martha Stewart Living.

I just finished reading Julia Child’s autobiography My Life In France. It is a love story, an ode to France and a tale of someone finding their passion later in life (she was 37 when she first started cooking French food!). In this age of precocious talent (American Idol finalists at age 17, people writing best selling novels at age 23 or starting hedge funds that make millions by 25 etc etc) I think it is easy to forget that you can be successful at any age, and make a change in your life at any time.
And, of course, if you love France, the book is a love poem to France, Paris, French culture, so it’s doubly delicious. In one section of the book, they go to the French Riviera, and I couldn’t resist posting this hotel there, the Miramar Beach Hotel.

I don’t usually succumb to coffee table design books, only because I simply don’t have room for them. But this one I couldn’t resist. The interiors are delicious and the gardens are haunting! Only $29 on Amazon. com. I paid some $45 for it in an actual bookstore (sigh). I’ll post some pictures from it soon, I promise.

I love whales and this print from Tugboat Printshop stopped me in my browsing tracks. They are part of this month’s Poppytalk Handmade Paper Pops which is full of beautiful items — Jan and Earl have outdone themselves this month.

What a perfect light in this kitchen via the Style Files. I would love to throw long relaxed summer dinners here, with the doors open to the patio.

I’m loving this beach house featured over at Absolutely Beautiful Things. I’m inspired by the framed tea towels and vintage bathing suits. Genius! I scouted some promising tea towels on Ebay below… (they seem to range from $3.50-$10).
Some of my favorites are here (new england map), here (London river) and here (lobster print). You can find all of these by searching on “vintage tea towel.”

I wish you a weekend full of spring, good friends, good food (and wine!).
Delicious photography from Gentl and Hyers (found via Body + Soul magazine, a new favorite).

I’ve always been obsessed with two simple ingredients: paper and glue. As a kid I endlessly had glue in my hair! I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t fiddling with paper and making a card, a notebook or a collage. Today I’m beyond pleased to introduce Abigail Paper, a collection of vintage-inspired paper goods (cards, post-its, vintage wallpaper envelopes).
Take a look and let me know what you think!
