A European weekend

It all began with some empty space in my new office. Blanca and I needed a place to showcase our wonderful babies and shove those to-dos. A bulletin board was just too drab and Irene decided to turn the 2 we had, one large and one small, into FRENCH bulletin boards. I'm sure they're not really french, but that's the name some marketer gave them and it stuck. I happened to have several unused bulletin boards of my own under the bed stowed away for safe keeping. After a quick trip to Joanne's I put together our new boards...just lovely I think! Then, Saturday night we had an improptu dinner, our tour of ITALY. The idea for cheese, crackers, grapes and wine came after we went to O'Brien's looking for Tahini sauce. They have such a great selection of the above that we simply couldn't resist. Check out that dinner. It might not look like much but we were stuffed.

The following morning we were back in France and having crepes. Back when I was a kid we always had big pancakes, which really are slightly thick crepes. I had been craving them and Dominic had yet to perfect the recipe so we decided to just wing it with a crepe recipe....absolutely delish!

While awaiting the crepes Dominic took this trio of portraits of me and eclair

It seems like Eclair might not have had as good of a time with the portrait session as I did ;)

We did manage to get a bit of work done during our tour. The trim around the fireplace is afixed

The trim got nailed up.

I got flowers :)

Our wedding picture was hungbut we still cannot find the trim for this section....HELP!

The Valentines decor was brought out. This one is big folks, I haven't been able to decorate since Thanksgiving thanks to all the construction at our place.

And the laundry got done of course. This was Eclair's hang out Sunday and today as she is forbidden from being on the bed at this point in time. Why do you ask? Her less than mature behavior of course.

fashion starts at a young age...at least for those with style

Nancy do NOT read any further or you'll spoil your gift :)
