Before & After
Had it a while, and some paint in pale pink…thought it would look cute holding cakes…what do you think?

I love the classic Tollhouse recipe…but my twist is to use “white whole wheat” flour and chopped & toasted pecans. Once the drop of dough with all those big chips is made, roll it in mini chocolate chips to make sure you are getting that perfect dose of chocolatey goodness. Nice to have a stash before the blizzard rolls in. Plate by John Derian.

Haven’t seen them in a while. That this their family car cracked me up…and makes perfect sense. ( Too cool.)
I had to snap some beauty shots of this machine before heading up to the house.

Wanted clouds today. Not one to be found. Glassware old and new felt good too.

Freshening up for the new year! I hope you like the new look of the blog…I will continue to fine tune it in the next couple of weeks. I hope your year is starting off nicely. Any big plans? I joined a picture-a-day flickr group so that should help me with steady posts here!

Last month we took a ride through Connecticut and saw lots of perfect fences dotted with tiny pumpkins on each post. We love this local take using a variety of beautiful little gourds along the top.

Went to CT for a reunion of sorts and drove through Great Barrington for our first time…I remembered that I knew someone who opened a gourmet shop there a few years ago so we stopped in and found this, some tasty olive oil, and then the girls went nuts for pain au chocolat & croissants.
