. . . it always seems, about this time of year, am ready to throw open the windows to the bright sunlight, in wild anticipation for springtime, and so, it is not difficult to imagine one being hopelessly drawn this perfectly romantic home, with its dusky lavender walls and pooling drapes of the same hue, its tufted linen chairs and carved settees, scalloped and gilded and mirrored accents, its florals and lucite may bring on bouts of spring fever at any moment . . .
. . . some may remember the recipe for lavender hot chocolate not too long ago, and amazingly, happened across this recipe for chocolate lavender pie only yesterday, and of course, simply could not resist . . .
. . . lately, the weather pefectly balmy, by january standards, but every once in a while, a chilly night, and so, just in case: a little mix of winter and spring : decadent hot chocolate with a dash of lavender . . .
. . . hello again! had not meant to go missing for quite as long, but as you know, with travel, things can sometimes get a little tricky when it comes to scheduling, and today, sunny, bright & beautiful in geneva, and with terrace cafés overlooking the lake and walks along cobblestone streets, still-leafy parks, fountains and cathedrals, was far too tempting to take the day to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather . . . not certain when there next will be a moment to say hello, but for now, leaving you with the utter sophistication of metallic wallcoverings, scalloped headboards and monogrammed bed linens, chandeliers and gilded mirrors, lavender velvet and de gournay . . .
à bientôt & hope your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo
. . . while the lavender has long gone, the scent lingers still, and the sun still shines warmly and brightly, and before it is too late, perhaps this weekend, one last outdoor dinner party, before the leaves begin to fall . . .
