Celebrating Fall.... a Special List Scotland It was a day peculiar to this piece of the planet, when larks rose on long thin strings of singing and the air shifted with the shimmer of actual angels. Greenness entered the body. The grasses shivered with presences, and sunlight stayed like a halo on hair and heather and hills. Walking into town, I saw, in a radiant raincoat, the woman from the fish-shop. 'What a day it is!' cried I, like a sunstruck madman. And what did she have to say for it? Her brow grew bleak, her ancestors raged in their graves as she spoke with their ancient misery: 'We'll pay for it, we'll pay for it, we'll pay for it!' by Alastair Reid ********* The photograph and poem above might give you a clue where The Songwriter and I are. Needless to say, I am in my favorite land at present. More later. For now…. here’s a few treats for an early fall. Enjoy! 1. Outlander Knitting For those people who have always questioned my tendency to head to Scotland whenever I go on holiday... (“What about Italy?? Wouldn’t you prefer a more tropical clime?”)... I have only to point to the new television production of the book, Outlander. An endless stream of scenes from the Scottish Highlands, romantic and achingly atmospheric, I dare anyone not to be seduced by their beauty. As I lover of Scotland, I haven’t missed an episode. But there is another reason I have become a devoted viewer. And yes, I am well aware of the remarkable handsomeness of the show’s male lead, but he is only a distraction to the real temptation of this eye-catching show. I am talking here about the knitting. Shawls and scarves, sweaters and capes - enough to make a knitter positively swoon. Just take a gander at the fabulous cowl worn by the show’s star in the photo above. Sigh. The knitting community is nothing if not resourceful and new patterns for these Outlander creations flood the internet after the airing of each new episode. See HERE. And HERE. And HERE’S the cowl that I made. And of course, here’s my favourite model in two of my latest finished projects. I am wearing these in the Highlands right now! (I tried to make him smile, but he took this modeling job very seriously.) ******** 2. The Bartering System As someone who loves to bake but is reluctant to partake of every concoction in its entirety lest I become rounder than tall, I have recently entered into the most satisfying deal ever. One of my favourite neighbours raises not only three adorable children, but a mini herd of mini goats, a rabbit, two cats, and a flock of designer chickens that seem hand-painted by angels; I see designs for rooms and sweaters in their feathers each time I visit. Well, here’s the thing. Even with a family of five, my friend was gathering far more eggs than she could use each and every week. So. We have joined together in an old-fashioned arrangement known through the ages as the bartering system. I bake something fabulous for her family, and in return receive a large basket full of fresh eggs. All colours, all sizes, as befitting a flock of feathered individuals rather than a bunch of poor systemized, programmed, industrialized fowl. These eggs have transformed my breakfast into a tasty treat I look forward to every morning. Plus, I get to wave my wooden spoons over desserts both delicious and ambitious. A win-win for everyone! Highly recommended if you have the right neighbours. That’s the adorable middle child, Dahlia, pictured above. ****** 3. Kitchen Tiles I think it started with the kitchen so prominently featured in the 2003 film, Something’s Gotta Give. A somewhat beachy kitchen, with white cabinets, white subway tiles, black countertops and dark wooden floors. Almost instantaneously it seemed, that kitchen was absolutely everywhere. It’s undeniably beautiful, but so sadly ubiquitous now. With each new copy it seems more and more unoriginal and bland; it could be anyone’s kitchen. I don’t know about you, but I am longing for colour and individuality in design these days. Even wild eccentricity, if it accurately represents the personality of the owner. To that end.... these tiles by Welbeck have me entranced. The whole line sends sparks through my mind. Can’t you just imagine the kitchen these could inspire? It would definitely require an Aga. Find them HERE. ****** 4. Dog TeePees Edward loves to hop up in our bedroom windowseat to view the back garden at his leisure, and to nap. Apple has a special spot in the family room just behind a painted monkey book stand and just over a floor vent for the air-conditioner. Both of them can also occasionally be found snoozing together underneath the piano, a hiding place where they are guaranteed privacy as well as an excellent view of the front door. Every dog loves a special spot to call his on. Which brings me to the photo above. Find it HERE. ********* 5. Two New Books for Fall With fashion weeks in New York and London just past, two books sound like so much fun. I’ll Drink to That by Betty Halbreich If you happened to see the delightful little bonbon of a film, Scatter My Ashes at Berdorf’s, you’ll easily remember Betty Halbreich. She stole the movie away from everyone else, including personalities as gilded as Lagerfeld and Armani. A personal shopper at Berdorf-Goodman department store for years, Betty has stories to tell, all with a snooty, imperious tone than somehow manages to charm rather than repel. She’s now written a book that’s sure to be an entertaining romp of a read. Find it HERE. and here’s a bit of Betty from the film..... Vivienne Westwood by Vivienne Westwood and Ian Kelly One of the most original and iconoclastic designers writes her autobiography. This one has to be a good time. Find it HERE. ********** 6. Artistry and Kindness I’m not particularly sure how I came to be so fortunate, but I’m convinced I have the best readers in the entire world. Whenever I hear about the horrors of the internet, I don’t say much, for my experience through this blog has been nothing short of lovely. Case in point: the charming Tish Jett of the blog Femme d'Un Certain Age … posted a photograph of Edward and me a few weeks ago along with the words, “somebody should paint this!”. A few days later, I received a letter from the gorgeous artist, Helen Tilston, who informed me she had done precisely that. Whilst on holiday in Ireland, she placed her easel beside the sea and painted the image of Edward and me. It arrived this week, along with two special pebbles from the very same Irish shore on which the painting was created. What can I say to such generosity? A mere Thank You seems quite anemic to me. Needless to say, I shall treasure this forever. Visit Helen and see more of her work, HERE. Helen painting Edward by the sea in Ireland. Love this! ****** And before I go, a bit of Outlander for you to enjoy.... I'll be in touch soon! xoxox, Pamela
