I couldn't resist

I couldn't resist posting this one too. I got these Ya pears at the store today and had to use them in my photo project but I couldn't decide which one to use so I sneaked this one in at the end.

day 29 swirly colors

day 28 the light inside

day 27 Goodwill score

I bought two of these babies for $4.98 yesterday at Goodwill. I can't wait to pick out a bright retro-y fabric to recover them with. They are super sturdy and the ere is an inlaid medallion on the legs that says Gunlocke Chair Company, Dallas-New York. At least thats what I think it says, it's in a difficult place to read and very small, or maybe I just need some glasses. At any rate they look to me like they belong in Bruce Wayne's study with some 60s hipster sitting in them discussing poetry and smoking a pipe.

day 26 muck and mud

It's a sad day when you try to build a snowman and it turns out like this!

day 25 thrift shop discovery

day 24

day 23 mmmmmmm.............heaven

This is the chocolate ganache cake in the making. It was simply so beautifully yummy and creamy and chocolaty. I wanted some Chambord for the raspberry sauce and my friendly neighborhood liquor shop owner sold me a diminutive bottle just right for my purposes. I want to make one of these for everyone I know. One of my favorite people came over today and I was able to share the treat with her while we caught up a bit. There is nothing like sublime chocolate and conversation to make your day a little brighter, even in dreary February.

day 22 valentine love

here's Lucy sniffing the 3 roses Pete gave me this am. She thought I was giving her a drink. We went to Allen Fieldhouse last night and watched the Lady Jayhawks beat Colorado. It was fun and each child brought a friend along. Today I'm making a Chocolate Ganache Tart that I learned how to do from a chocolate treat class that Pete gave me for my birthday. It is very easy and divinely delicious. I'll post the recipe later.
