Monday wishes and a Thank you!

 

Oh how I wish I was playing hookie today and taking this little guy on a picnic with the hubby!  Perfection I think.

The weekend has ended and we are knee deep in design goodness here- wishing you a wonderful start to the week!

Also a big thank you to everyone who takes the time to follow here and elsewhere we just hit 10,000 + on pinterest!

My Winter Table

This year we have had the chance to have a few gatherings around our table and I cannot wait to have more in the coming years.  I fell for a picture that I found of a table done in white and linen.  This is my loose imitation with my favorite thick linen napkins and some vintage pieces that we picked up this year.  I hope you are looking forward to the new year as much as I am!

Dreaming {by invitation}

Dreams are such a fun thing.  I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me.  I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.

 I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas.  A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!

 

This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites!  Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans.  Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food.  It would be amazing we would cook and read.

We would ride bikes around just so we could see everything and stop anywhere. 

Eating outside as often as possible would be the norm..

My mind might even be free enough to have time to create some new classics based on old methods.

 

I would have the time and patience to learn how to draw and possibly paint.

A girl can dream right!

What about you what do you dream about?

Please take a minute to stop by and see everyone who participated today!!
