I was reminded of this way to make tuna and it's so good. My husband used to work at 260 Madison in New York. Seems every building in NYC has its own deli....I don't think anyone ever knows the name of their deli, but they sure do know what to order. This was a favorite especially in the summer and it's appropriately named California ...
House exterior – before and after
This is our house today...see below to see the before photos. We live in a beach community where the homes were built in the late 1960's early 70's. It was hard to make sense of the house as it was...but there are times when I think we could have gone a little less drastic with change. The good thing about the development being built in the late 1960's is that open space was ...
lemon shortbread and white hydrangeas
A package arrived today...as soon as I saw it on the step...I knew it was from Lorna. The first few I had with a cup of tea and in Lorna fashion, the next were with with a glass of wine.

As soon as she opened the box, she put it on and said she gets compliments every day. It really does look so sweet on her. She's wearing it with a denim shirt from Madewell. We both LOVE this store! We started shopping at the first one in ...
thank you notes . . .
I have long been a fan of the written note. This little book, The Art of the Hand Written Note is a favorite of mine and I read through it every few years. Margaret Shepherd is brilliant in saying how, why and when we should write notes. I think I speak for many that when I receive a handwritten note in the mail, I'm absolutely thrilled. It does not take a lot to sit down ...
