cactus love.
i love when i find love in unexpected places. i was recently at my mom’s house and i spotted this in the courtyard. i wondered how long it had been there, as i visit my mom every few months and had never seen it before. maybe your heart just has to be open to see such unexpected love around you ? whatever the case, it was a lovely find.

mussels are deceiving.
i am a lover of all things seafood, and mussels are one of the fastest and easiest meals to prepare. i ate a LOT of them in france this summer and had many “guess how many mussels in the bowl” contests on my facebook page. people were always WAY off . . . sometimes by 100 (THIS was a good one) ! i agree that a bowl of mussels can be very deceiving to the naked eye. here is a bowl of mussels that i made in vermont. can you guess how many were there ?
(answer = 53)

the society of arts and crafts.
every time i go to boston, i stop by THE SOCIETY OF ARTS AND CRAFTS for some eye candy. i love this gallery. there is always a great exhibition in progress and the selection of jewelry is just EXQUISITE. i recently saw this show TWELVE ARTISTS, TWELVE OBJECTS and was very impressed by the works and the way it was curated. if you are in boston, i highly recommend a visit.

mount holly, vermont
i’m trying out acrylics again, and though it’s been a slow and rough start, i am taking to it a tad more than i first did in june. unlike watercolor, the fact that you can keep working on top of the painting over and over and over again is a definite plus. i also like that it feels more permanent in the end. i think that acrylic and i are actually going to be friends after all !

kayak heaven.
lake ninevah (in vermont) is the PERFECT place to kayak. the fabulous ninevah foundation conserves more than 3,000 acres around the lake, preserving the land and wildlife habitat. you can see loons, bears, moose, eagles, herons, and a lot of other wildlife. i’ve been in the lake almost every day this month swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and canoeing. it really is a slice of heaven here.
