Would you be willing to share information about the farmhouse you rented? Pretty please??

My son is crazy for little Waldorf gnomes, as well as for sewing. We will have to try to make our own...thank you!

Thanks, Faith! I don't have any tips per se, I would just point out that we didn't really know anything about gardening or keeping chickens until about a year ago. If we can do it (no green thumbs or backgrounds in 4H to speak of over here) then anyone can!

The sofa can be purchased here: http://farrelli.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=225

The leather chairs from the living room here: http://www.inmod.com/bnt-zurich-swivel-chair.html

The kids low table is by Zid Zid. I'm not sure if it's still available. We did haven some problems with it (poor construction).

The rocking chair is VERY comfortable, although for nursing, a traditional glider would be better. I can't remember where we got it, but I will try to find out.

Thanks for all of your kind comments! To answer a couple of questions...you can get info on the stove hood here: http://www.futurofuturo.com:80/island_mounted_Plane_81.html. We needed an extra large one (48 in. I think?) which Miele didn't make. This one worked out great.

The little round cushions in our son's room are from Ikea from last summer. Zid Zid also makes some that are similar.

And the dining table had to be ordered through a designer. It was very reasonable, as I recall.

I have the same problem with a brand spanking new Bosch DW. I've pretty much concluded it is the dirty water that sits in the drain below the DW. Not sure what to do about it though....I'm going to keep checking back at the comments for suggestions.

This sounds soooooo good. I just did a post about our persimmon harvest this morning! http://domesticreflections.blogspot.com/2008/10/latest-harvest.html

Yes! We used it in our toddler's room and in our baby's nursery. We used Toy Poodle in the toddler's room and Walking on Clouds in the nuresery. We've been very happy with the results. I have a few photos on my blog, or I can email them to you....

I think this is an old Martha Stewart recipe -- or else very similar to something I used to make from an old magazine issue of her hers. I LOVED this recipe -- so simple for a weeknight, yet nice enough to serve to company. Thanks for reminding me of this!

I am crazy, crazy about lacinato kale. There is an unbelievably good (and easy!) recipe for the Portuguese Soup Caldo Verde in The Gourmet Cookbook. I highly recommend it!! I plan to blog about it sometime soon (when the weather cools off and I actually feel like making soup....) :)

You MUST keep a package of Trader Joe's frozen mini croissants (chocolate, if you are indulgent) on hand. They are the ultimate no-effort weekend treat. Bring out some special jam (preferably homemade) and your guests will love you. Mine do. :)

Also, the frozen cioppino is really, really good. Get a loaf of ciabatta to go with. :)

They have shelf-stable milk all over Europe and it tastes GREAT (I was very skeptical too). In fact, I purposely look for this stuff in more "European" style grocery stores over here but have never found it.

This is EXACTLY how I love to travel. My idea of fun is cooking in a foreign country!

This is a fantastic drying rack that can hold lots of clothes but doesn't take up much space. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10115963
