I was wondering why I hadn't been able to find it on the shelves. It was my go-to cooking wine but lately I've been having to substitute.

Paris is full of useless balconies like this - they add charm and air flow, so take your inspiration from them.

Looks like they're using one of Blueprint's fonts on their website. On purpose?

At our public market it can be tough to scout what's local and what's not. My rule of thumb is, if the boxes behind the table say "Dole" or something like that on them, don't stop, keep moving. If the boxes say something generic like "farm fresh produce," or the boxes say "Dole" and they've clearly been reused over and over again, they're more likely to be a vendor from nearby. And of course, if they say "Summery Farms, Sodus, New York," that's easy - they're from here.

You know someone is a bad actor when they can only play a character that has the same name as them.

Zucchini makes a good pickle - hit it heavy with the red pepper flake.

VINDICATED. That's just about the same grey I'm considering for our DR.

Your house sort of reminds me of this book I just finished paging through. It's chock full of "pickled" floors with ticking stripe couches. It's called "Swedish Interiors" - you might want to check it out of the library for inspiration: http://tinyurl.com/cjwjv2

This presumes that your purses all match each other. But the point of purses is that they don't match each other - they match your shoes, or your tiny dog!

Our new old house has fixtures like this (though not as elaborate) that are in their original condition. They don't have a cover - the previous owners just bought lightbulbs that look good bare and plugged them in.

Ours are also still attached to an old push button switch system, which allows half the lights to be lit for mood lighting, or all of them to be lit for full illumination. You may still have the guts for a scheme like that in your ceiling or wall wiring, if you're interested in having an electrician resurrect that feature.
