My house is forever a work in progress but this is one room that feels almost finished.

Weekend at the lake.

Breakfast looks like this most days.

Speaking of Lost in Translation, here is one of my favorite Lomo shots from a recent trip to Tokyo.

I’m mad about films. “That’s the best movie I’ve ever seen!” is a frequent utterance around here.  So I could never pick one favorite but “Lost in Translation” is definitely a contender. 

One of my fun goals is to watch all the Oscar, Palme d’Or and few other award winners. You can see my progress here.

And to think I was worried about how they’d get along(!)

They grow up so fast. On their walk this morning, a neighbor commented, “They don’t miss a meal, do they?” They sure don’t. It’s hard to believe they were ever this little.

I’m a bit of a bibliophile and have books strewn all over the house. I’m thinking I need a library. With dark walls, velvet drapes, and books floor to ceiling . . .  I see another project in my future.

My favorite place in the house

I love tea.

Some favorite things:
One of the tea cups passed down to me from my mom.
Thé du Sri Lanka tea and tea filters from Fauchon.

Mariage Frères Marco Polo tea.
