oh-so-quiet

I ordered a few items from  Nice Package a while back but just tried them out a couple of days ago. Using the Lemon Bars, I assembled one box and think they look kind of cool.

They are lovely as a small gift or favor for a dinner party!

We are addicted to Top Chef? Yes, I know. Addicted is such a strong word. But, yes, we are. If not, we wouldn’t sit down for dinner, for thepast few nights of the past few days or maybe week, in front of the computer, while going through season 3.

So, when I bought the Spring issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, I was delighted to see Gail Simmons wedding in New York City. I loved the color palette, the location and the rustic look of the tables.

And she looked gorgeous in her Carolina Herrera dress.

pretty cute jarrs from Burgon&Ball

Spring is my favourite time of year. Maybe it has something to do with the romantic idea of new seasons bringing new beginings, because I also feel the same way come September. Or maybe it’s just me and my fascination with exciting things to come.

Don’t get me wrong,  I really enjoy my life. I’m in a good place right now – love, work and familywise – but I want change. I want new things for me, for us. I’ve been feeling this for a long time, but now we’re coming to a time where this could really happen. We could change and I could go after something I’m passionate about.

2010 can become a great year, I feel it. And maybe putting this in writing, in such an early and precocius stage, can really make me do it.

Be brave and change my life.

make everything alright.

madeleines and lemon bars.

we’ve got it all.

love, love, love.

includes:

late breakfast, walks in the neighbourhood, flipping through magazines and books, cooking, shopping for home acessories, spending time together with nothing else on our mind for the first time this year.
