BIG ANNOUNCEMENT– For anyone waiting on the porcelain container, got word it’s being delivered possibly today otherwise Monday!! Very excited…this is a few days early and that almost never happens!
__________
Hello and happy first full day of fall…how did this happen so fast? Besides one day of rain on Monday, we have had the most delightful week, warm and sunny. I will take it! But fall weather is around the corner and I must say that is my favorite of all.
Hosted a small birthday luncheon for a friend today,and it was so much fun. Yes, a lot of work as I am very detail oriented but worth every ounce of effort and I cannot wait to share the afternoon with you one day next week.
Been really busy workwise, working on a few design projects and I go back and forth to the warehouse as many as 4-5 times a week. This week in particular has been crazy busy as we gear up for the big porcelain delivery hopefully today! Then the planters and ornaments will follow and then finally the last container of porcelains.
I like to share with you a “picture” into my life on occasion as seen through my trust little iPhone. Not much narration necessary, of course I like to show you the pretty, happy inspiring things, trust me the other things would not be very interesting, lol.
So here we go….
Love the ivy facade of this charmer of a building belonging to Kean
Me and my experimenting:)
A visit to one of my favorite local farms, Youngs Farm where they are in full fall mode!
The “piece of art” staircase at a building we went to a dinner party in in NYC, this is the famed Ansonia building.;…amazing
Been working on sprucing up things here and there in my bedroom, finally added the two chinoiserie mirrors to my sitting room and love them!
Fabric playing for clients library
Fabulous chinoiserie sample we just approved for a clients powder room….how gorgeous is it?
A new favorite meal….heirloom tomato tart and baby arugula salad plus homemade breadsticks!
Made my easy peasy homemade bread sticks and loved seeing them in the mint juelps, yet another way to use them
Walked into the market and this is what greeted me, still not used to this!

Have not had a burger in ages…but went to lunch with a friend after getting over a migraine and was craving one. It was worth every yummy bite
And the view didn’t hurt!
Fun playing with fabrics for a clients gorgeous living room
Amazing that mums are here!
Made my eggplant parm…it was sooooo good!
Really enjoying many of my beautiful new silver pieces, putting them to good use!
So there you go with what’s happening in my little corner of the world. Fingers crossed that the container is being delivered today and if so, that is where I will be most of the day, busy, busy days ahead. But I can think of worse things than being engulfed by a warehouse filled with blue and white, lol. Wishing you a wonderful week and end to your weekday. Until next time…..
I need you! I read your posts often but in August my house flooded. I live in Baton Rouge. It was one of those 1000 year never in a million years flood. So, at some point I’m going to have to hire you. We are JUST beginning to sheet rock! So keep posting these great pics! I’m literally spending the day catching up on ALL your blog posts!
Your eggplant parm looks so good. Would love to have the recipe. Also love the dish you used. Is it from your store? I have tried to pin some of the recipes you have shared and it does not always go back to the right post. Would love to have a recipe link on your site. Thanks for sharing, you are always so uplifting!
What beautiful pictures and wonderful inspiration this morning! I just received some silver that I ordered from you yesterday, and it is absolutely gorgeous!
Nancy in Baton Rouge: We are thinking and praying for you and your neighbors. Once an event is off the front page the rest of us tend to forget that y’all are still struggling with the aftermath. Sending good thoughts and warm wishes your way as the rebuilding continues.
I’m envious of your market that offers such beautiful pumpkins and ornamental squash. I always wonder why most markets don’t get with the program and offer a better selection of things like that, along with better flowers as well. I can see I’m not alone in loving such things. Your breadsticks also look very special. Hard to believe they are easy to prepare. Will you share the recipe? HAPPY FALL!!
I love going to the market and seeing all of the pumpkins. As for Fall I cannot believe it is already here, a few more weeks and it will be full force on to the holidays.
Love seeing a glimpse into your day, fun food and fabrics.
Hi Tina
I so enjoy your posts!
Question: the serving piece the eggplant is in. Does it go into the oven or was it in some glass baking piece and that was put into the server.
I remember a few years back when you had a line of similar pieces that
I loved but never purchased.
Thanks
Linda
Tina,
Your eggplant parmesan looks delish! And the silver casserole dish is fabulous. I didn’t realize that the pieces are oven proof. I hope you share your recipe with us at some point. Thank you for sharing.
Sushi was indeed a beautiful cat. I am sorry for your sister in law’s loss. I love Himalayans, so gorgeous. DItto for everything above, I too enjoy your recipes and my daughter loves your wine selections, rose, etc!
I LOVE, LOVE your blog, I start each day reading it. Could you possibly let me know the source (Hickory Chair, Pearson, Kravet?) of the navy strie velvet in the fabrics you are considering for the client’s living room – it is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so very much.
As always, one picture of prettiness after another. So funny, I always crave red meat after I have a migraine and it always tastes so darn good. Enjoy your weekend.
all i can say is: take. me. with. you. s’il vous plait. your sitting room shot takes the cake. omg. the elegance and serenity are heartstopping. and your tomato tart which is a dish of art!!!! that is gorgeous, tina! if it tastes at all like it appears, i’d say your friends probably felt they had died and gone to heaven. so someday you’ll make me that tart, i’ll take pics of the enchanted spaces, and we will have a juicy burger in NY. it’s a date! xox
If I really, really use my imagination I can detect a bit of chill in the air – finally! – so I’m starting to transition from tomato season to pumpkin season. It is a slow process but beautiful photos like yours help!

The carpet sample beige with blue would you tell me the source? Much appreciate it.

Love that chinoiserie sample. Just gorgeous.
Ditto the recipe link suggestion………
Looking forward to the Christmas ornaments………..Autumn leaves, apple pie………am in full Fall mode.
That powder room wallpaper is beyond fabulous — is there any chance you would tell me whose it is — so lovely!!!!

Love the powder room wallpaper – is there any way I could find out whose it is – so lovely!
Love all the beautiful inspiration! What a great idea for the large mint julep cups I purchased from you!
I’m in love with the blue and white frames in your sitting room (above the console). Are those available somewhere for purchase?
I love going to the market and seeing all of the pumpkins. As for Fall I cannot believe it is already here, a few more weeks and it will be full force on to the holidays.

Have a great weekend Tina.

Would also love your recipe for eggplant parm.

I agree, I would love a recipe link!?
Is it too late to pre-order the blue and white Christmas ornaments?
So excited about the container my sister and I ordered from!!
Yes, Nancy in Baton Rouge, prayers and continued good health to you and yours. The really important things that matter!

Pleas share your eggplant parm receipe.
Love the fall picture.
Condolences to your sister-in-law.
My fur baby passed Monday. They bring so much to our lives.
She was my “someone to come home to”

I always love to see your experimenting and the hydrangeas are gorgeous! Looks like it’s been a full week – hope you can rest a little this weekend!
If I really, really use my imagination I can detect a bit of chill in the air – finally! – so I’m starting to transition from tomato season to pumpkin season. It is a slow process but beautiful photos like yours help!
