what today is like

taking g. for a stroll in the light rain, falling all day. drinking tea. sewing. listening to 88.1 kjazz. dreaming of humanoid. anticipating an avatar/the last airbender marathon with frances.

this morning

two apple tarts, and our make-shift kitchen in the morning light.

Pate Feuillette!

I feel kind of goofy saying this, but can it get any better than President Obama AND Trader Joe's now carrying a magnificent, frozen Pate Feuillette? To explain. I have made too many miserable batches of puff pastry (in the past 8 years), and I feel that almost all things sad can be healed with good puff pastry. Look at this onion, tomato tart! Tomorrow quiche, and tarte tatin. So great!

३ king's day moccasins and christmas hat and pappardelle

yesterday's hike and new etsy dress

we hiked to eagle rock in topanga, and enjoyed the fresh air. a clear, beautiful day.

frances, reading on new year's day

happy new year!

We had a quiet eve playing cards, and eating a good supper. I'm glad it's a new year. There is so much to look forward to! Le Bouton will expand a bit, and entertain some retail concepts. Please, contact us if your interested. We're very close to ready.

Also, throughout the next week I will be making one of a kind pieces, and stocking the ETSY shop. Take a look if you could!
