From your hosts:
• Our Guests – Featured This Week •
The history of Parisian tea rooms is intimately tied to the history of the Ladurée family. It all began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a man from France’s southwest, created a bakery in Paris at 16 rue Royale. The timing was right and this iconic French brand is still a favorite of tourists and locals. Learn more and visit the tearoom on your next trip to Paris!
You’ll find vintage French items, lifestyle essentials, hand crafted copper kitchen items and more at expat Cat Bude’s delightful shop and website. She shares beautifully photographed snippets of her life with her French family in the Normandy countryside as well.
Timothy Corrigan – Chateau de la Chevallerie
Tag along to France for a video visit with Timothy Corrigan at his French country home, Chateau de la Chevallerie. Timothy takes us behind the scenes for a “before” tour of the 18th century chateau, sharing the history, many design details and hints of what is to come!

I have seen this before and it amazes me that someone would place an oil painting so close to where a gas flame can be. I guess they can move it every time they cook but honestly it looks rather dumb. Hopefully I am not the only one who thinks this every time they see such! Some folks just have a kitchen for looks I guess.
It appears to be a tiny little painting that is easy to move any time it needs to be. I keep silver trays and platters behind the cooktop that I move when cooking, just like I move the crock with utensils aside so it doesn’t get splattered. Some people find the extra burst of joy they get from looking at something lovely to be worth the effort. Other people care more about practicality. There’s room for both kind of people in the world… 🙂
