I just recently came across the cooking show she does with her husband Gabriele Corcos, Extra Virgin. This my new favorite cooking show to watch! It's funny, its quirky, the food looks delicious and they have this super cute vintage vibe to them. Check it out if you haven't already. Watch the clip and read more about them below. </span><br />

She's a modern girl from the streets of Queens and he's a food purist from the hills of Tuscany. It's Lucy and Ricky in the kitchen as the two food lovers share ideas, haggle, and finally compromise to create the perfect Tuscan American blend all the while providing important lessons that you just won't find in your average cookbook. Prepare for total immersion into their passionate, spirited life as they show you how on a daily basis anyone in any kitchen can blend the simple traditions of Tuscany with modern life in America.</span></span><br />

Deeply enough to purchase it, have me inscribe her sons name on it and hang it where his crib once was. I am beyond moved, beyond understanding what she is feeling and experiencing. I hope this painting will bring her peace and comfort for days, months, years to come. </span></span><br />

Terrarium gardens are miniature succulent and moss gardens in glass containers. I am completely fascinated by them. They are easy to maintain, need indirect sunlight and could pretty much be placed in any area of the home. I found some adorable containers, that's right pears and apples (sorry I can't give out my source!) and have been selling out of them like hot cakes. Here are some samples of what I am making! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The terrariums are too delicate to ship but if you live in Orange County you can stop by my gal Aggelige's shop called Organic Design! I just dropped off 6 more today! They come in a range of sizes too. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was finally attending my first Dwell on Design exhibit and as the media (woo-hoo for my blog) and (woo-hoo for my gal pal Kristen over at Rage Against the Mini Van for turning me onto this). I had no idea what to expect and can tell you I wasn’t disappointed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went into this as a person who was going to blog about my experience and not covet the next great modern design element or walk away envious that I could not own every single item I saw or that my home wasn’t a prefab or from the ground up a mastermind of some known architect. Yes, I have to admit I can easily fall into the madness of materialism and get caught up in the “my house isn’t good enough if I don’t have blank or blank…... so lame I know. Instead, I went in as an avid admirer of all things modern, so with my little camera, note pad and pen (oh and my husband and two sons) here is some of what I unveiled. </span><br />
