I love chocolate (who doesn’t?) and I love dessert (esp. under $5) and now I love the Dessert Truck.

I spied this beauty in this month’s Martha Stewart Living — this is Martha’s guestroom closet and I love every detail!
I’m heading to Delaware to do some research at the Winterthur library tomorrow through the weekend. I’m planning on checking out some roadfood.com gems and some flea markets and hope to feel as relaxed as this woman looks by the end of it all. Image via Martha Stewart Living.
I just finished reading Julia Child’s autobiography My Life In France. It is a love story, an ode to France and a tale of someone finding their passion later in life (she was 37 when she first started cooking French food!). In this age of precocious talent (American Idol finalists at age 17, people writing best selling novels at age 23 or starting hedge funds that make millions by 25 etc etc) I think it is easy to forget that you can be successful at any age, and make a change in your life at any time.
And, of course, if you love France, the book is a love poem to France, Paris, French culture, so it’s doubly delicious. In one section of the book, they go to the French Riviera, and I couldn’t resist posting this hotel there, the Miramar Beach Hotel.
I don’t usually succumb to coffee table design books, only because I simply don’t have room for them. But this one I couldn’t resist. The interiors are delicious and the gardens are haunting! Only $29 on Amazon. com. I paid some $45 for it in an actual bookstore (sigh). I’ll post some pictures from it soon, I promise.
I love whales and this print from Tugboat Printshop stopped me in my browsing tracks. They are part of this month’s Poppytalk Handmade Paper Pops which is full of beautiful items — Jan and Earl have outdone themselves this month.
