Have just come back home to #rancholazaca with the hillsides aflame in #californiapoppies. This beautiful photo a re-gram from @himee1341. Afraid the rain tomorrow will beat them down, but we will welcome the rain thankyouverymuch.

My “Oscar dinner” table from above. Was just two of us so I didn’t bother to clear table of books and things. Flowers and a few votives made it sparkle. The napkin rings are silk flowers glued to grosgrain ribbon., which I did a hundred years ago. The result looks like more of an effort than it was. #tablescape #tablesetting #dinnerparty #dininglibrary

Dinner and the Oscars, at home in New York in our “dining library.” So nice to stay in and cook for my friends, on and off the red carpet. #lovemygirlfriends #dinnerparty #tablesetting

The happy breakfast room of my Beaufort, SC, cousins and my darlin’ godmother Caroline, whom we visited last week. She was cousin and great friend to my mother, whose 87th birthday would have been today. Happy Birthday, Mama.

Nice of this ibis to pose for a parting shot from the Lowcountry. #ibis #lowcountry #marsh #spanishmoss

Love a bicycle basket. The big squarish ones in middle are for the back fender, and the deeper rectangular ones are for handlebars. #becausetheyshouldmatch. @theparismarket #theparismarket #Savannah #bicyclebaskets #bicycle

Oh my heavens is this not the coolest view?! Right outside my window overlooking River Street and the Broad River Bridge, Savannah. #broadriverbridge #broadriver #Savannah #cargo #cargoship #clouds #iwanttopaintit

Super cute idea for displaying old and vintage kitchenware, and I love the handwritten recipe blown-up and printed as art. @makeyourkitchensmile What a fun store is #kitchensonthesquare in downtown #Savannah

Soooo excited to be signing books @theparismarket in Savannah Thursday from 5 to 7. Come see us!

Loved this bag and a bit of last minute Beaufort shopping yesterday @scoutsouthernmarket

@scoutsouthernmarket in #beaufortsc , spied this wonderful hanging daybed/swing for inside or out. Made by local craftsmen. #daybed #porchswing
