This month I am sharing my favorite things that cannot be bought. They are more observations, impressions, more than things.

The scandal happened over one hundred years ago, because nowadays a socialite with one dress strap falling over her shoulder would not make the news.

When I was a kid school started on September 1st, and we got to buy all the new books, notebooks, pens and pencils. Now I still get excited and buy myself a few stationery things but the real happiness comes from the garden tasks that can be accomplished only in the fall.

I could write about the farmers markets a lot! I think it was my first stop right after we moved to France...
