team charisse

This is my dear friend Charisse, 
photographer extraordinaire.
She has taken photos of both Everett 
(at Yale in the NICU)
and Piper at birth as well 
as all the perfect Christmas photos of my kids.
Right this minute she is at
Sloane Kettering in NYC 
getting ready for a
bone marrow transplant
next week to 
hopefully put the 
non-hodgkin’s lymphoma 
she was diagnosed with
7 1/2 years ago
into remission once and for all.
She has a blog,
Check it out.
If you can,
please make a donation to 
help with the huge cost.
You can do that
Keep her in your thoughts.
oh and here she is with her boys!


titane tisane

Found these candles this past weekend.
I am so picky about what I smell.
This line of candles is divine.
My favorite is ST. JOHN'S WOOD.
Notes:
st john's wood: looking through the bent backed tulips. 
smoldering chimney smoke. dried vines & brick walls. 
EXACTLY!
If you want one...go here.

fish recipe

Another recipe for you.
I am loving the DOUBLE L's fresh fish.
You must go and buy whatever they have.
Halibut, Salmon or Cod...
just to name a few.
Lloyd told me how to grill 
the most perfect salmon.
Today I will pick up the halibut I reserved
and maybe make this!
It's a morrocan fish stew by that
Jamie Oliver
found on 
Jump on over to goop for the recipe.
