That looks like a great Creative Morning talk. I met John Fluevog recently, a very engaging man. And Purebread, yeah, huuuuge fan. Each item is meal-sized!! So good.

I think you own some Fleuvogs, don't you? <br />What did you order with your coffee??? I'd have stood there for an hour trying to decide.

The combination of navy and white is my absolute favourite.<br />I never wear ponchos, all shades of brown are on my do-not-even-consider-it-list, and I can't stand wool close to my neck. BUT: your poncho looks absolutely fabulous on you, especially on the outdoor picture. And I admire those cables.<br />The display of delicious things looks so tempting that I am quite grateful they are only photographs and the real thing is on the other side of the globe, because I just decided to cut down a bit on sugar before the pre-christmas gluttony sets on.Eleonorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-23080002510179117602017-11-04T15:19:28.631-07:002017-11-04T15:19:28.631-07:00oh the meringues!! and I love the ponchooh the meringues!! and I love the ponchoMardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-57435213017935426642017-11-04T13:00:16.902-07:002017-11-04T13:00:16.902-07:00Those meringues...Those meringues...K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-83962836795692143342017-11-04T11:45:41.113-07:002017-11-04T11:45:41.113-07:00Delicious bakery and a very nice poncho!
