And for those waiting for the sun...

Be ready for any summer celebration (think 4th of July, Bastille Day, or a picnic photo shoot for Martha Stewart Living) with "The French Chef." It's a limited print run of patriotic aprons and tea towels based on my original line of "Julia" prints. Once they are gone, they are gone.

Speaking of gone (and sun); gone for the summer to lucky California is lovely model, strawberry maker, fellow Z-Towner, and sweet as can be friend, Kimberly Scola of Chez Sucre Chez. We will be missing you dearie, happy trails to you and please come back some day! xoxoxo

Rainy Day in PA

Sometimes there is nothing better than a rainy day, especially when we haven't had a good one in a while. It's been very hot and humid this spring so I've been worrying about the garden, although you can see it's doing OK so far.

It makes me want to curl up with a book and a cup of tea. Instead I grabbed the camera. And then a cup of tea.
