copycat bouquet

old white farmhouse pitcher full of flowers at the winvian.

my garden bouquet on vintage tablecloth in breakfast nook,

welcome home....laptop problems for second time this week...very frustrating...and shift key doesn't work on this mac in the kitchen....annoying because i have some work notes to email...i was cursing....not proud of that...

i love that bouquet above.....just copied one here at home, cobbled together from our garden flowers; a sunflower, a big fat yellow dahlia, pink zinnias and a purple hydrangea bloom. when i go someplace luxurious, i like to bring a little bit of style back home.

i plan to write a detailed report here tomorrow, about the team of moms who work for general motors--engineers, scientists, stylists--who told us about designing and developing the 2013 chevy malibu. and also about the pit stops fig and i made in connecticut farm country, involving sugar-dusted shortbread cookies, vntage linens and iced joe cleverly chilled with coffee ice cubes.

right now, must rest. i usually do dishes before bed but too tired b/c only slept about 6 hours last night and 6 hours the night before. so the champagne flutes we clinked for fig's birthday and the plates we ate h.'s homemade lobster rolls on are waiting, unwashed, on the counter. will see if h. will do them. 

must park my crystal red dream car [gm will pick it up next week] and call it a night.
