Silhouette framed pictures






About 5 years ago, I was browsing one of the antique/vintage stores in Vermont and found a small wooden frame with linen cloth that had a black picture of a man.  I thought it was really cute and purchased it.  I didn't think much of it until I saw Martha Stewart's magazine a few years ago with a picture of a beautiful Christmas tree decorated with small framed art of black and white prints.  Since then, I kind of fell in love with these little framed prints.  These are some of the silhouette prints I purchased from Ebay.com.  They look good on every wall.  These should be decorators' favorite items because you can't go wrong with them.  They look good in both traditional house and modern house.

Pasta and Crepe w/ Nutella



Farfalle aka bow-tie pasta with everything in it and crepe with Nutella.  I have a Russian friend and apparently, crepe(or called Blinkchiki in Russain) is one of their popular breakfast items in Russia.  Along with cured pork fat, she brought these wonderful egg crepes from her local Russian market.  These were wonderful in both texture and flavor.  My husband smeared some blackberry jam on it but I wasn't going to waste my beautiful crepe with some plain old jam.  I brought out a jar of Nutella from my pantry and put a big spoonful of it on each crepe and ate all them up!  Heaven.
