1. FABULOUS NEW COFFEE TABLE BOOK ! I have carved out time to read a few books this summer, not nearly as much as I would like but I will take what I can get. I am finishing up two of them so will likely share my list with you next week sometime but did just get in this which I HIGHLY recommend.

For your coffee table you? must get Sharon Santoni’s new book which is an absolute “home run”I got it right before I left so didn’t get to go through the whole thing but simply cannot wait to return home?to? finish, it is truly beautiful…….it can be ordered here.

Notorious Pink is light and wonderful, not to mention comes in this great frosted bottle with a glass top so you can reuse ( I use it for olive oil)

Whispering Angel is super light and crisp, great with everything, always have a bottle or two on hand

And Aix is another fave, a little more body than the two above

5. A FABULOUS HOME. This home is so well done, I could move right in, what do you think? I love the light and “easy on the eyes” palette, it has? a clean uncluttered easy to live in appeal. Featured in Traditional Home, in case you missed it, I?thought it warranted sharing. What beautiful?curb appeal both from the front and back…it had me at the long pale gray shutters!

6. FALL FROCKS. Yes I cannot believe I am saying it, makes me feel like such a traitor to summer but these were so beautiful..how could?I resist! Love these looks to get me looking stylish through the looong season of fall and winter-

7. A WONDERFUL AND SO EASY APPETIZER! Whipped these up for friends who were stopping by unexpectedly and I must say they were so good. I was in a rush so didn’t get to take pictures of my own but trust me these are easy and delish. Also involves ingredients that most have on hand so makes a great impromtu appetizer.

(I used extra sharp cheddar instead of Pepper Jack) and with it being officially tomato season, there’s no better time than now to make these…..Click here for full recipe

that house featured in Traditional Home is right across the street from me and is even more lovely in person…..everything about it was done perfectly!

August is flying by and soon it will be red wine weather again… We love the Whispering Angel and might have to try a bottle or two of your other favorites! And for course, start shopping for that fall wardrobe.

Sharon Santoni’s book looks tre chic! Thanks for the suggestion. Love the awnings on the Bellpoint House. What a cutie pie on SnoopNattynat ( is that a name great or what!) Meh on the Traditional Home layout. I agree the shutters are stoppers. Just feeling a bit snow blind on the interiors. Wouldn’t you love to just throw in some blue and white here and there ( maybe everywhere)?
Just an FYI that that Puech Haut Prestige – Languedoc Rose Wine ( product of France) also uses the same opaque wine bottles with a sweet pink glass stopper ( no cork screw needed). Whispering Angel reminds me of Edgartown 2014 (beware her evil twin Screaming Devil who likes to greet the morning) Cheers!!
