http://myamericanfrenchlife.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-bit-of-this-and-bit-of-that.html

Tuesday, February 17, 2015. A bit of This and a bit of That. Photo from hipparis.com. As most of you know, I live part time in France and part time in Dallas. I have been in the US for awhile and it is now time to return to my home in the French countryside. I love both places. I would like to leave you with a new recipe I just tried. It is delicious. It is a Grilled Seafood Salad . From the New York Times on Pinterest. Skinless, in 1 1/2-inch chunks. Small to medium calamari. Salt and ground black pepper.

Roses and Rust: Istanbul and Other Things

http://rosesandrustblogger.blogspot.com/2015/05/istanbul-and-other-things.html

Vivez Bien * Live Well. Sunday, May 17, 2015. Istanbul and Other Things. This is going to be a long one so I'd suggest that you go and pour yourself a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. If it's a morning glass of wine, that's fine too, I won't judge! Did I buy any Hammam towels? First I bought these two beauties. Then I found these. Then I got into the groove and bought 6 more and husband said "enough now" . So I bought 2 more! Look at that beautiful texture. The beautiful fountain on Sul...

Roses and Rust: Trying to take my niche up a notch

http://rosesandrustblogger.blogspot.com/2011/03/trying-to-take-my-niche-up-notch.html

Vivez Bien * Live Well. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Trying to take my niche up a notch. We have this niche in our entrance hall that was needing some attention. The staircase runs up behind it so it has a bit of an odd shape at the top. I had tried various pieces of furniture there but was never really happy with the result. What I really wanted was a French console table like one of these below. I decided the only solution was to fake it by making my own French console table. A bit ambitious, I know! I als...

My American French Life: Tea in the afternoon

http://myamericanfrenchlife.blogspot.com/2015/04/tea-in-afternoon.html

Thursday, April 9, 2015. Tea in the afternoon. Photo from 1000things-london.com. This photo is from Tea at the Ritz in London which is my all time favorite place to go for tea in London. In Paris it is, without a doubt, the Hotel George V. It is simply the best. And quickly became popular among the aristocracy. . . Wherever it started, it is definitely a lovely addition to the days meals. Most people, here in France, do consider teatime a daily ritual. For a nice presentation, garnish the plates with wat...

Roses and Rust: July 2015

http://rosesandrustblogger.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Vivez Bien * Live Well. Friday, July 17, 2015. Time to Man Up - Creating a Masculine Bedroom. In my quest for inspiration to show my son how we could turn this room into a space that he (and I) could live with, I came across some masculine bedrooms that really appealed to me and I thought they might appeal to you too. I am leaning toward a fairly neutral colour scheme of stone or grey, maybe with a touch of blue. Stripes are always a good option for a masculine space. But, while my son has many wonderful...
