Thank you so much, Melanie. I sometimes sometimes see the world a little sideways, but sometimes that makes it more interesting. 😂 I’m glad you found some inspiration! Thanks for your never ending support!! Happy holidays! xoxo

Bonnes fêtes, poulette!! Enjoy your holiday, the calm, the sunshine (relentless in California!), the food, the parties and just existing (my absolute favo pastime). I'll be playing the tourist in my city and hopping on a couple of trains to Dijon and Strasbourg (yasss the Christmas market!), the only way to travel.. Thank you for the recommendations although I struggle with sitting still long enough to watch a film, much less a series. I'm just getting around to decorating my "tree" (it's more of a weird twiggy sculpture) with my brand new dumpster fire ornament from Astier de Villatte. Yes, it exists and I bought it. Happy Christmas and here's to a lovely, beauty and creativity-filled 2024! Let's get this BREAD!

Haha. I had to google translate 'poulette'. I'm going to use that. :)

Enjoy your train rides - it's my favorite way to travel (at least in Europe, where it's down to a chaotic science). Those sound like dreamy destinations. Happy Christmas to you and a very inspired New Year! :)

Finally doing a little catch up on your blog! (Traveling for work with no internet connection) Thanks for the reminder of the Carlyle! I tended the terrace garden on the residential side of the Carlyle for years and have yet to watch this!
