I wanted to thank you all for coming back each and every week and reading my little blog and leaving such wonderful comments.. I apologize for being so disconnected these past few weeks.. I love visiting all of your blogs and catching up with you and I haven't been able to do so :( In September we took a little weekend trip to Canada. The plan was to leave in the afternoon and drive the eight something hours so that we could get there at night and be able to wake up bright and early the next day and start the seeing.. well the afternoon turned to evening and driving at night was harder than we had anticipated. We got to the hotel (Marriott Courtyard) around three instead of the planned midnight and hurried off to sleep. We started the morning with a delicious breakfast at the Blue Line Diner. It is owned by the oh so nice daughter of a famous hockey player, Marcel Dionne. The place is a hockey fans dream and the breakfast yum, huge portions and the coffee divine. If you don'

This past week almost all the leaves fell off our trees.. Especially the bright red leaves of the big Japanese maple in our backyard. Friday afternoon right after school we thought we'd take a jump in the leaves, before they had to be raked, bagged and taken away. So glad we took out the time to do so.. the weekend got cold and wet and all the leaves blew away.                             Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin

In the fall 2008 we took a beautiful road trip through New England.. for those who don't know that is North East part of America including Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. If you haven't had the chance to travel through New England during autumn I suggest you add it to your list.. it is stunning. On one of our stops in Connecticut we took a trip in an old steam train in Essex. It was idyllic. It reminded me of the time when trains were one of the essential modes of transportation.. and every now and then the train would let out a little tut, it was enchanting. These two photographs are of the plush swiveling chairs inside the train. A different treatment, different angles.. different moods. Which do you prefer? Sitting Blue and Sitting the Old Fashioned Way are both available for purchase here . They are available in various sizes and price points.

lately

I know it feels like I just did a lately post.. but I guess I just haven't been blogging enough lately. I am sick, coughing up a storm. H is teething and is just now finally starting to sleep more than a few hours during the night so with sickness I was also severely sleep deprived. A lot has been going on lately. Last time I showed you some paint being mixed... well the room has been painted now more things are being painted the same color.. we hope to put at least 50%  of it together during the weekend.. finger crossed.. but painting.. doing anything really with a nosy baby is impossible.. we have a huge house filled with toys.. but the only room he wants to be in is the one with the paint. By the way little H is climbing stairs now.. we have baby gated everything. So he now sits by the gate trying to figure out how to open them.. ps can you believe he is now ten months old! I had also mentioned some contractors.. well they have arrived and work on the basement has begun..

Alstede Farms

Towards the end of September.. while the grandparent's where still here, when Aunt T, Uncle M and Little S were visiting we took a trip to Alstede Farms to feed some animals, pick some fruit and get lost in a maze of corn. D rode a pony.. conquered the mountain of hay stacks and we had to drag him back home kicking and screaming!

When the grandparents were still here, when the sun was still shinning, when it was still summer we made a trip down to Wildwoods, New Jersey. D is getting better at riding by himself and M and I were in need of a great adrenaline rush. and during all this family fun M and I snuck in a roller coaster :) sometimes all you need is a good scream! The last time we went to the boardwalk there was no H and D was so little.. take a peak here .

At Work was taken way back in 2007. It is a picture of my then maid, Sakina in her small and modest home where I captured her hands as she used two rocks to grind herbs and spices to make that nights meal. This is a method still used in homes where a mechanical grinder is a luxury and not a necessity. According to Sakina and her mother, herbs ground on a rock maintain the rich flavors that are often lost by all our machines. This photograph was Exhibited at the Art Gallery House 2012 and Featured in a PictoryMag Showcase but surprisingly never been sold. Lets change that and give this gorgeous piece a home. At Work will be a great addition to you kitchen, dinning room.. and every other room. Looking for a unique hostess gift or a little something for your friend who loves to cook. The print is available in a variety of price points and can be custom framed and ready to hang. Buy Here Get my post directly in you inbox with  Bloglovin I am now also offering ad space.
