Hello, to you all !   Those following my blog can experience the travel of time through the senses.  I am preparing for my up coming Paris trip. The seasons departure is this Wednesday, October 1st.  In Prep, I look around and see the terrain surrounding us begin to brown, age, and reflect the little chill we have experienced so far. The leaves colors will only become vivid as the Chill appears.  We have not yet had that, only rains and warm weather.  No new coats yet.  They are arriving at MATSU, and the sweaters and scarves that we seem to love to wrap our bodies up with also await the cooler weather.

This season welcomes the harvest, with apples, pumpkins, squash, and fresh figs.  I am still excited about slicing the figs and treating them with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I  included them with fresh baked salmon the other night. What an unexpected treat!

This blog session will be short and sweet as I prepare to explore the banks again of Paris, and visit the shows. I will be searching for treats for you all for Spring 09, this trip. I mainly go to buy the collection very carefully with you in mind, of Comme des Garcons.  I am open to other goodies I may find, a fabulous bottle of wine or two.

Stay tuned, and for now  I invite you into MATSU. It is truly warm and juicy in the environment. Both visually and realistically.
