Who doesn't love French Macarons? You know, those soft, often pastel-colored, sandwich-like confections filled with sweet buttercream?

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

I appreciate you taking the time to pop in and take a look around. I hope you enjoyed the browse.

These are indeed, strange times we live in right now. It's no wonder we seek out like-minded artists and artisans to connect with, through this amazing creative blogosphere and similar formats.

We all move within these social media spaces, sharing our work and finding inspiration and genuine friendships in the process, virtual as they may be.

Now, more than ever, I hope we all continue to find ways to embrace our commonality and shared humanity. The world is wide enough for all of us. There is so much room to treat each other with kindness, dignity, respect and understanding. I think, connecting through creativity is one of many paths toward that end.

I appreciate this opportunity that I have to add beauty to the world, in my own special way. In the end, I hope my efforts (and yours), bring us closer together not further apart, through our shared interests, creativity, hearty fellowship and good will.

Stay safe and be well. -Lisa, xoxo

have a lovely day!

I hope you enjoyed your visit. While much of my blogging and attention lately is on food photography and styling, this site is filled with content that represents far more than pretty eats and drinks. My blog reflects my affinity for a vast array of hobbies, projects and inspiration. No doubt, you probably have many of the same creative passions too. Have fun with everything you see around here.
