Richard Gere's Hamptons Home

While reading the Sunday paper this morning, I came across an article about celebrity homes for sale that have been on the market for awhile. In the article, it mentioned the estate of Richard Gere's white frame farmhouse in the Hamptons. Curious as to what it looked liked, I searched the internet for the listing.

Come take a look....

Love the vine covered pergola.

The glass entry doors are charming.

Beautiful, light filled kitchen.

With the humidity and temperatures in the upper eighties here, I would love to have a pool in our backyard. This one would do.

Now all I need is around eight million dollars and I could move right in. LOL!!!!

Chocolate Graduation Caps

(This photo is from Bakerella.)

I saw these adorable chocolate graduation caps on Bakerella's blog. The other day my daughter came home from school and said her class was having an eighth grade graduation luncheon. I knew these would be perfect to make.

Here's my version.


They were so easy to make. The original recipe called for Godiva chocolate squares, but at fifty cents a piece, I searched for a less expensive chocolate. I found the Ghiradelli chocolate squares at Target for a fraction of the cost.

Preppy Finds

Anything pink and green always catches my eye. I found the cute pink polka dot dish set at Swoozies for my niece.

I saw the pink and green plaid glasses on a website last year and by the time I got around to ordering them they were sold out. I stopped by TJ Maxx the other day and there they were sitting on a shelf waiting for me to buy them. Too bad they only had one box.

The monogrammed plaid tote is from LL Bean. I was in search for a cute little purse for running errands with that I could fit my big wallet in. It is perfect.

Aren't these monogrammed glasses adorable?!!!! I just saw them at The Monogrammed Gift. I want these!!!!
