Family Heirlooms

 

 

 

I love the idea of family heirlooms

passed from one generation to the next.

They always tell a story and 

they are full of soul, personality and history

I treasure my grandmother's tea set that she left me.

Winter Comforts

 

It's cold outside, the trees are bare and you can't leave the house without a pair of gloves. It's the time of year that I love coming in from the cold to a warm, comforting meal or a hot drink and a batch of freshly baked cookies. I'm secretly pleased when the first of winter's chilly nights kick in so I can dig up my old cookbooks and cook up one of winter's hearty dishes to warm the hands and the heart! I can't get past pumpkin soap and butterscotch pudding Winter brings with it luxurious treats like pashminas, which I think look great in every colour, cashmere knits and coats with fur trim.
