Recently, E and I were digging through the attic trying to find a hat that he had of his dad's, when we came across an old chest that had been left by the previous owner's of our house. We know very little about the couple that lived there, only that he was part of the Underwater Demolition team during WWII, and that she lived there by herself for many years as a widow and had taken really good care of the house. Somehow this chest got left behind by their family. It wasn't filled with too much, but there were old letters and cards, some of his medals, and then a box of photographs and postcards. These were my favorite...

I love fruits and vegetables, not only because they taste so good (especially when they are fresh!) but because the colors always amaze me. I found these little tiny peppers and tomatoes recently and loved the natural theme of green, yellow, red and purple in both!

there are such beautiful colors in food...it is one of the reasons I love to cook. I have spent a lot of time at the farmer's market this summer and always leave there inspired. It is satisfying to know where your food is coming from and to find jewels like this; but mainly I like to spend a little time looking at all the shapes and colors that are coming from nature.
