The Weekend . . .

All the fashion has begun to strut down the runway this week in New York City, and a few of the March fashion issues have been delivered to my door. Such fashion activity means I am beginning to pull together a list of what I need to fill the gaps in my spring wardrobe and getting excited about this semi-annual wardrobe planning affair. Only a few things are needed which always makes me feel better and also makes me a bit giddy because I can splurge on quality which is always fun.

A bit of an update on the kitchen. The window treatments finally arrived, and now only one last piece is needed – accessories. Or in other words, cupboard knobs and handles. Small, yet very important details. I have two shops in particular I will be visiting in Portland, and once they’ve been chosen, the pictures will be posted. Do stay tuned. I am excited to share.

Speaking of the kitchen. I’m finally back posting recipes, and this past weekend I discovered a scrumptious treat that is ideal with tea in the morning or afternoon.
