I think that it has been a very long and dreary winter for many. I for one am so happy for Saturday Smiles Spring Is Here!
Saturday Smiles Spring Is Here
This charming abode, Fig Tree Cottage, is for sale. It’s practically perfect in every way. A real life-sized dollhouse.
Yes, To Lemons
Right now I cannot get enough of the flavor of lemons. These Lemon Meltaway Cookies look so pretty and sound so very yummy.
Something To Look Forward To
A new show will begin on March 31st on PBS. I can’t wait for Mrs. Wilson.
On My Nightstand
Last week my daughter’s significant other, Thomas B. Oliverio, released his first book, Images of America: Whites Creek. If you love historic photography, lovely architecture, historic fashion, Tennessee, or small town America you will truly enjoy this book. I love all of the above, so I finished it in an afternoon.
Pack Your Bags
After an intense two year renovation the beautiful Chateau de Chantilly, just North of Paris, has reopened. Daily tours are available in English at 11:30 am.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring Tablescape for the Breakfast Nook
I am absolutely smitten with that cottage. OMGOODNESS…it must be kind of heartbreaking for the owner to leave that precious place.
I have been hankering for lemon, too, and have a lemon fudge recipe to post this next week.
I had not seen the promo for Mrs. Wilson but it looks like a show I will love!
Have a great first night of spring, Laura. xo Diana
Definitely a challenging spring for us. I was so eager. We’re still cold but at least the sun is out today and that’s a huge plus!
Love all that is here and I think I will probably be printing off those lemon meltaways. Lemon is my favorite flavor and it’s especially bright in the spring.
Thanks for showing me a bit of a haven.

I served with sweet Italian turkey sausage
You had me at Fig Tree Cottage. Nearly had the For Sale sign up in front of my house.
