My design philosophy is to create pieces that beautifully balance simplicity and femininity with a modern aesthetic. I create each design with a unique combination of colors, textures and metals while at the same time retaining simplicity. |

Sunshine
For those of you in the PNW you know that when the sun shines, you get in it and enjoy it before it’s gone. That is precisely what we did this weekend. We sat on the deck pretty much all weekend soaking in the beautiful sun and views. There really isn’t a more beautiful place [...]
Stuffed Squash with Wild Rice, Orzo and Brown Butter
We made the YUMMIEST dinner for Thanksgiving and I wanted to share this recipe. It was so, so good and the beautiful colors would perfect for a Christmas dinner table too. Adapted from Herbivoracious.
Now, you know me and recipes. My changes from the original are a guess, but I think it’s pretty dang close.
Winter Squash [...]
Cauliflower Soup
I love to cook. Although, you wouldn’t know from the last several months of posts. I love to share recipes and haven’t for far too long. So, here’s one for you. Easy, easy, easy and quite delicious. Adapted from Bon Appetit.
Cauliflower Soup
Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower (about 2 lb.), leaves discarded
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, [...]
Loaded
This is how many wonderful, juicy, bright red strawberries I’ve been picking from the garden nearly everyday for the last week or so. Strawberry pancakes, strawberry shortcake, strawberry sauce and ice cream… Yum.
I have about 2 lbs right now and I think I may have to try a strawberry buckle. What the hell is a [...]
Our weekend
We spent the day on Saturday playing and running errands. Lulu spent Saturday eating my Tory Burch clutch. Oh, Lulu. I almost cried. Such a naughty pup.
After recovering, I spent all day Sunday in the kitchen. I love days like that. I don’t have photos of everything, because we were too busy stuffing our faces! [...]
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Tarragon Yogurt
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been trying to be better about using the food I have available both in my garden and my pantry this last week. Herbs are one of the things that always do well and I totally take advantage of their abundant existence. I was reminded by my favorite [...]
Roasted Beet and Beet Green Salad
I have been having an awful lot of fun in the kitchen the last week. I’ve been trying to use the vegies from my garden as much as possible and items in my pantry as much as I can so I don’t have to go to market as often. It’s been a fun challenge and [...]
Working…
I spent most of the week and weekend working…in the yard, in the garden and in the kitchen…anywhere but my studio! It’s been awfully quiet in my Etsy shop the last couple weeks which makes it difficult to feel very motivated to create. I won’t feel too sorry for myself or complain for [...]
New Jewelry + Eggplant caviar recipe
I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day! Ours was adorable. Nothing fancy, just an overall great day. Well, the Eggplant Caviar I mentioned last week, but hadn’t tried yet – turned out great. It’s soooo good. So, here’s the recipe and below it, a couple notes about my [...]
Valentine’s Day Menu
Everyone is gearing up for Valentine’s Day! It’s a sweet holiday (I use the term “holiday” lightly…and “sweet”, not so lightly). We usually don’t give gifts, but spend the day eating…our favorite thing . I wish I had a great Valentine’s Day photo from the past, but since I don’t, I’ll share [...]
