This stack of lavender Venetian biscuits has a little old-world charm inspired by the muted lilac and dusky green shades of the lavender bushes in my garden. A little bright spring scene - and might I add the biscuits are yummy to boot (the stack was taller before the photo!)

Raspberry and vanilla Oreos with pink milk and blossom. A play in pretty pinks and greys inspired by new neighborhood plum blossoms and special handmade ceramics created by one talented little daughter. To be able to smell the sweet blossom would perfectly complete this scene!

Still life with mandarins and copper.
A celebration of local and seasonal fruit in all its‘ gnarly, plump beauty. A true find- this pile of fruit was found in my local greengrocer, leafy and glowing as if just plucked from the tree. I felt that the rich orange hues were perfectly offset by old wood and copper bathed in natural light and reminiscent of another time.

Fluffy pots of dark chocolate water mousse. How amazing that a simple blend of dark couverture, water, vanilla, and salt can create rich pots of decadence like this. Simple capture of the rich mousse texture, glass, and natural afternoon light can be so enticing.

Still life with garden lemons.
Inspired by the beautifully lit paintings of the Dutch masters and my carefully nurtured crop of fragrant lemons, whose delicious aroma wafted from the table as I captured them.
