THIS WEEK’S Two Lovely Things features the romantic scalloped wicker accent. While we're known to love wicker for pretty much anything, in the form of scallops, it adds an extra-special charm. Here, the scalloped wicker accent comes in the form of a pretty window valence over white linen curtains in a cosy home office in the French countryside, and as a decorative element along the top edge of a wicker storage basket set beneath a console in a bright entryway ...
I AM NOT sure why―when it happens every year―I am so unprepared for winter. The cold. The dampness. The continual overcast skies. And most of all, the darkness. Yes, the days have been, happily, incrimentally longer every day since winter solstice, but tonight, the sun still set 4:17pm. 4:17pm! On Sundays, everything moves a little more slowly ...
ONE OF THE BEST things about the changing of the seasons is all the different fruits and vegetables that signal each one. Summers in Spain meant sandía in the mornings and springtime means lots of sweet, dark cherries. Right now, in early autumn, it's apples, hanging heavy from all the trees scattered about the countryside, and my most favourite of all, fig season ...

OUR LIVING ROOM in the English countryside has those charming wood ceiling beams that you would expect in a cottage in the countryside. And since moving here, my décor tastes have moved, understandably, in the direction of farmhouse and countryside styles...
Recently, had told you about our trip from Spain to the south of France, Scotland and the English countryside in late May, early June. It was during this trip that we fell in love (again) with the countryside and thought it might be time to do something completely different than we've done before.
IN LATE MAY we went on holiday to the south of France for a few days, and then to Scotland for nearly a month. During that time, we ventured to England on day trips, and it was during this time that we fell absolutely in love with the English countryside and thought it might be fun to have a look at places that might be available in any one of the very quaint and utterly charming villages and towns we found along the way...
We've had the fortune of visiting the Scottish Highlands many times, and but it has been a while now, since we were living in Spain for the past three and a half years. Happening across Danja's Instagram page (@merlins_mind) made the absolute majesty of this incredible place come rushing back. An outdoor, photography, bicycle and kayak enthusiast (among other things), Danja's photo stream reads like the pages of a fairytale.

YOU MAY HAVE CAUGHT GLIMPSES of writer Amanda Brooks' idyllic farmhouse on Instagram. Brooks and her husband, painter Christopher Brooks, left New York City in 2012 with their two children, Coco and Zach, for what was meant to be a year-long retreat at his family’s 1820s farm in Oxfordshire, England, and haven't left since . . .
