Hey there Wishers!
I hope the holidays were joyus and your New Year’s hangover wasn’t too bad!
I’d like to take this opportunity before we start in on our annual re-cap to thank you all for the continued support in 2015.
So many new subscribers and lovely comments and emails, you’re a wonderful bunch!
Thank you!

In January we discovered Chateau de Guandes and followed it’s ambitious owners as they patiently nursed the old Dame back to her former glory.

By September the Waters Family welcomed their first guests when a wedding was held on the grounds.
They are proceeding by leaps and bounds and I intend on checking in on them through 2016.

This spring we branched out a bit and experimented with a few recipes with delicious results.

We also met Slinkachu and Kirra Jamison our in the feature Art is Everywhere.

Last summer we met the wonderful illustrator Maori Sakai,
Grilled veggies, and made our own shower scrub.

We thought Fall would never come, but when temps finally dipped into baking weather we jumped right in with Banana Crunch Muffins.
And had fun with Fall fashion,
And finally in December we made some delicious make ahead dishes to share at holiday gatherings!

In the year ahead we’ll make more lovely things to eat, explore new ideas in art and fashion and meet inspiring people doing incredible things from all over the world.
Happy New Year friends, may 2016 be a remarkable one!
