Hello sweet friends, I hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend. I’ve been trying to set aside time in which I stop, take a breath and really savor a moment. Yesterday, it was a lovely, simple tea with my friend, Ginger. We talked gardening, fashion and more. My cup is full. Here’s to Sunday Smiles 111.
Sunday Smiles 111
French Country Cottage had some wonderful slow living ideas for early Autumn.
Whimsical Pumpkins
One thing I adore with our modern autumnal sensibilities is that the sky is the limit with pumpkins. I love the idea of painting a fun design.
Marie-Antoinette’s Private Chambers
I had NO IDEA that there are private after hour tours of Versailles. It’s now on my bucket list.
Le Mas des Poiriers
On the same future trip to France I’d love to stay at Le Mas des Poiriers.
There were so many lovely design details at this Waterside home. This image reminded me of the desk I recently found for $30.
Fresh Apple Cake
If I was still eating gluten I would be making this gorgeous cake in a heartbeat.
Coming Up On DTA
I have been riding the struggle bus when it comes to appetizing meals and desserts while on the AIP diet. Quite a few of you have regularly inquired about my health journey and asked if I could share some good recipes. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the kitchen lately trying various recipes. It’s hard when grains, nuts, dairy, and eggs are out. I’m not gonna lie, some dishes went directly into the garbage after one bite. Starting tomorrow there will be a new series. Monday Meals posts will feature good for you food that tastes good.
