Marco, can you get these for my birthday cake?  (You have until January.)

Ever wonder if your apartment smells? Hire me and I’ll come over and tell you the truth.

Genius.

I made butternut squash soup tonight.  Prep took a long time.  Probably because I was watching Law and Order while peeling and chopping.

A behind the scenes shot of our 1963 Fashion Shoot with Jamie,  Jessica, Kate Hanley, and Jessica.  It was such a pleasure to be involved in a group of creative and beautiful women.  Thank you all for such an inspirational day.

On the active but petite Main Street where my parents live and where we had our wedding last year, there are a few very special shops that I can’t pass by without at least a peek inside. I’ve had it on my to-do list for a while to highlight a few of these charming businesses.

This bright and sunny vintage boutique is located at 7 Main Street in Andes, New York in the Catskill region.  They are open Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays from 10AM to 6PM. This beautiful collection changes seasonally and new pieces show up every week. With pieces ranging from $25 to $75, and accessories as low as $5, this little vintage corner store is a great place to pick up a perfect condition piece without second guessing the price.

Clementine also carries children’s clothing (0-14), men’s apparel, lingerie, and home furnishings.

This is going to be a great day!

My prize purchase.  It even has a vanilla bean inside.

Single Strength Vanilla
35% alcohol. Pure extract from the highest quality 100% premium Madagascar “Bourbon Islands” vanilla beans. These beans have a rich and complex, smooth, true flavor. The cool-perking process retains the bean’s full flavor, along with all of the desirable vanilla side notes. With over 400 flavor components in every high-quality vanilla bean, artificial vanilla (which contains only one-synthetic vanillin) will never come close to matching the wonderful richness of pure vanilla extract. This extract is 10% stronger than the pure vanilla extract sold in supermarkets, and has the great Madagascar flavor.

We restocked on Penzeys today.  All aboard the train to flavor town.
