I now have over a 120 followers on Pinterest! It’s such an addicting website and gives me great inspiration.
Eva Zeisel
Eva Zeisel was 105 years old when she died on December 30, 2011. The Hungarian artist trained as a painter but soon became interested in pottery and furniture. Her forms are often abstractions of the natural world and human relationships, and she declared herself a “maker of useful things.” These are a few of my favourite pieces.

Moro
In honour of my birthday, I went to Moro with some lovely friends. The restaurant was fun and the Spanish/North African food was delicious! I had charcoal grilled lamb with grilled leeks, lentils and anchovy and pepper sauce and then a few bites of yoghurt cake with pistachios and pomegranate. It was a wonderful evening!

Portland, Maine
I just had a lovely afternoon and evening in Portland. I went to this charming little store, Corey & Co. where many of the pieces are one-of-a-kind and made in the shop. Then, as always, I had a wonderful dinner at Fore Street. Not a bad way to end the year!
Hooked Rugs
It all started when I was born. My dad began hooking rugs and made one with two bears and building blocks with my initials. Over the years he has continued to hook scenes from Maine and New Mexico. Here are just a few of my favorites.

My mom has recently been going through old photos and found this picture of her Christmas cookies from 1960. I think they look pretty good!
