Since winter has dragged on a bit here in Paris, soup is still a dinner option. Hopefully not for too much longer, though. Let’s consider this a farewell to all the chills of winter… fingers crossed!
I discovered the recipe to this soup on Oh la la livia. It was perfect for the cold cold evening and warmed my entire body up.
It was also an excuse to whip out my favorite bowls.
Give it a whirl if you dare.
The sun was shining through the other day and it brought some new tints into the apartment. It was so refreshing.
Some sunshine in the home always does some good. With the cold it makes me so anxious for spring.
Lately I’ve been such a homebody. Not really sure why, but it’s been an intense end to winter, and I feel so cozy and at ease at home. It’s nice to just stay warm and avoid the bitter cold at times with a cup of tea. I always find new ways to put holes in my walls and add some this & that’s.
I’m anxious for the longer days.
With this winter cold, a warm cup of tea does just the thing.
Have you seen all the adorable tea party goodness on Lovely Stitch?
Need some tips on making a good chai?
I just love this mint sweater.
This place looks fabulous for snacks and tea.
One of my favorite spots for an afternoon tea is Colorova.
Dying to go back to Amsterdam just to go to this place.
Tea parties out are great… so are tea parties at home.
Where do you like to sip tea and stay cozy in the winter?

As tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, I wanted to post these lovely photos that Jean-Laurent took of Louis and I a few weeks ago. It was what he calls a “Love session”. He has a talent for capturing beautiful candid moments. And gosh I am so happy with how they turned out!
It’s hard to get some seemingly natural shots as sometimes it’s awkward to show PDA in front of a camera, eh? We did our best.
I really like these pictures because they were taken in our apartment. In our own element. With our stuff. It felt so much more natural, and so much more true.
I love love.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
I’ve always felt so strongly about what I surround myself with at home. I care about the space in which I live, and want it to be filled with snippets of my personality, hobbies and dreams and reflect who I am.
After two amazing weeks home in Denver, it is refreshing to be back at home with all of my stuff. And of course it’s so fun to integrate all of my new little treasures into the mix of my little nid. Do you feel that way sometimes? The need to be around your things? It’s a weird feeling, isn’t it? Human’s ability to accumulate things and be so attached to them.
You can find some more pictures of Louis and I’s doll house here. I just love changing around trinkets and things to give a new spin to the eye every now and again. Some would call me crazy.
