I have to share the story behind this bag. A few months ago, I had to take a business trip to DC. I knew Julia Child’s kitchen (yes, her actual kitchen!) was on display at the Smithsonian, but my work schedule was so packed, I literally dashed to the Smithsonian via the Metro during a break just to see it. I have developed a bit of a Julia Child obsession. It was well worth it to see her famous, yet frills-free, kitchen. After my business trip, I swung in a quickie side trip to my beloved nyc. I guess I must have been raving about my Child’s experience & a dear friend mentioned that her family frequents the same butcher Julia used. O-M-G. Flash forward a few months & this tote arrives at my office! So thoughtful. The surprise arrival totally made my Friday & it makes the perfect carry-all for my weekly trip to the local Farmer’s Market. Now I will always have Julia’s inspiration with me as I peruse the produce & be reminded of what sweeties I have for friends.
My Weekend in Books, Film & Television
FINALLY finished ‘The Marriage Plot’ by Jeffrey Eugenides. What to read next…so many on my list.
Watched Kathryn Bigelow’s new film, ‘Zero Dark Thirty’, about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Tense & gripping. I would watch anything with Jessica Chastain.
Downtown Abbey is back with Season 3 premiere tonight, quite right! And it’s been invaded by the feisty matriarch & American heiress, Shirley MacLaine. MacLaine & counterpart Maggie Smith steal the show. I am already loving the fashion this season. I don’t really get into television, but my New Year’s resolution was to watch more TV ;) I was able to get up to speed on seasons 1 & 2 thanks to Netflix & Amazon Prime! If you missed the Season 3 premiere, you can watch the first episode HERE via PBS.
