My cousins Judy and Chris arrive today from California. They have a very long flight made longer with a layover in Texas. I do not like layovers… door-to-door from California to where I live in the south of France without any layovers takes 22 hours.
Since my cousins are coming and staying with us, I have been making the house ready for their arrival. My cousin LOVES old things. Her home is a feast for the eyes, she is into home decor, cooking, gardening, antiquing…. and if anybody would appreciate antique monogram pillowcases on her bed, she would be the one.
I am into people appreciating monograms on antique linens. Because if they appreciate it then I am into ironing it. Otherwise sleeping bags are the next best thing.
They arrive in Marseilles, and from there I will drive them home. French Husband is going to make Omelettes with wild mushrooms (I wish truffles, but cepes will do,) that he picked in the forest. I hope we are still here to tell about it. Wild mushrooms kinda give me the creeps.
A pair of these amazing statues sit on either side of the massive staircase at the train station in Marseilles, this one symbolizes voyages from the east.
Three, not matching, in serious need of polishing, silver knives I bought at the flea market yesterday. I am not into polishing silver…. but I have good reason to polish them now that my cousin is coming to visit!
You know if you were coming to my house would you want to dine on wild mushroom omelettes?
If jet lag hasn't kicked in, and if they have survived the mushrooms… we will go to Aix en Provence tomorrow morning to the open market. Thanks for tagging along… by the way what color of beret do you want to wear?
