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 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!

I have to tell you that I enjoy this blog so much. You have such great taste and I love seeing pictures of your home.

Love the pictures and adore the mirrors in your sitting room!

Eggplant Parmesan looks so good!

Happy Autumn!

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!

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.

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!!!!

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!!

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.

Love seeing a glimpse into your day, fun food and fabrics.

Have a great weekend Tina.

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!

Love chinoiserie sample! Can you provide manufacturer? I would love to put in back of bookcase.

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.

Yes, Nancy in Baton Rouge, prayers and continued good health to you and yours. The really important things that matter!
Donna

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”

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

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!
