Flâneur Forever

A genius campaign by Hermès called "Flâneur Forever". My dearest francophile taught me the meaning of the word flâneur, a french noun that means "stroller" or "lounger" and one that "strolls aimlessly but enjoyably, observing life and his surroundings". We both discussed that we could master the essence of this definition quite suitably. It's rather romantic.

Cheese by Carol

My sister does such a lovely job of arranging cheese platters. It truly is an art and she masters it well. I like them to appear in a very organic state - not too structured or fussy. Above, a cheese platter from a fun evening at home, with hibiscus from Mom's trees!

Green Animals

Love a good lush shrub and don't even get me started with topiaries...Had such a blast meandering around Green Animals Topiary Garden in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. My Mother used to volunteer there when I was a bebe, and my elementary/middle school is just across the way. Fun day of exploration & reminiscing.  

No Trespassing

I ignored the signs last evening on my bike ride and well, trespassed to discover this construction site at the very end of a road around the corner in Jamestown. The home appears to be a renovation from a historic residential structure that is well positioned to be a charming seaside home over looking Narragansett Bay.
