Contessa! I must say that whenever I am able to engage you in a conversation you always bring so much lightness, frivolity and JOIE DE VIVRE to my day! Lucky me that I live close enough to your magical store and I can drop in whenever the mood hits. Merci for being YOU!

Dahhling what a cute post!
I couldn’t agree more.. passions are the seasoning of life.
As for my passions? My dear Duke, commissioning art to capture the facets of my life, boiserie, chinoiserie, great friends & living a life surrounded by those I chose!

My passions……when I started to think about them they were all centered around food!!
sharing a coffee with a friend or darling husband in a really cool cafe
searching out that really cool cafe
travelling, be it local or overseas
researching interesting places to eat while on our travels
a bowl of Maggie Bear’s burnt fig and butterscotch icecream ( trying to limit that passion!). Maggie is an Australian foodie and culinaire extraordinaire
creating fun table settings
I could go on……
Do love the flower arrangement in the urn……and enjoyed the video you sent Jane Uno
