Bonjour~


My girls laughed when I bought this breakfast tray:)It was at Winner's for $3.00.
It's the toast rack and all the indents that sold me..There's a little stainless bowl and a knife too..But mostly I think the memory of the dish made me buy it.
I love "Cocos et Trempettes" as my mom called them and made them for me many many times throughout my life..especially Friday nights when we could not eat meat way back when..
What a treat.. then spooning the rest out..
Yesterday was a mish mash of news.. some very sad news from a friend afar..I am thinking of her today..
the tragic tragic news of one of my favorite actresses Natasha Richardson..
I watched "Evening" for the second time in the last few months ..To see her with her mom in that movie..Just made it even more meaningful.
I feel sad for her family..that will surely miss her forever and a day.

Then.. some happy news..a friend had her third grandson yesterday..he lives quite far away..I'll bring this for her today.. what I wanted to share is this little sdd on you can make.. you can add them to tags or to ribbons.. The idea was graciously shared by..

Cathe Holden at Just Something I Made.






Her site is filled with wonderful ideas..My little email me gadget came from her also..
Enjoy her site..it is inspirational.

  3. Your breakfast tray was a lovely find, M! Sweet story about your mom. It was an eventful day yesterday. So sad you had sad news from a friend and NR but glad you had some happy news to counter-balance the sad.

    Beautiul website! I just looked and I can see how you would have loved it immediately. Your friend will be so pleased with the wee bird's nest.

  8. Monique,
    I am looking at your past posts tonight and had to leave a comment on this one regarding Natasha Richardson. She has been one of my favorite actresses for quite some time (I believe the first movie I saw her in was about Mary Shelley very long ago). The news touched me too and has stuck with me for days. She was a wonderful humanitarian and I just wanted to share my feelings with you as I you had shared here. I am glad you had some very pleasing news on this day too. That's what life is and in enjoying each moment as we don't know what will happen and mustn't take things for granted. Gee, next time I shall email you! xo~Tracie
