This beautiful block of natural honeycomb caught my eye when at market. It was so fresh and interesting, I had to try it. Light, smooth, and surprisingly delicate; this honeycomb spread easily over my baguette and was a perfect pairing with warm brie. Truly the bees knees.]]>
Scarf by Suzanne Cali
Do you ever wonder what goes into creating that favorite scarf or shawl you bought at a local boutique or department store? I guess I always appreciated the beauty of woven articles, but it wasn't until I met Suzanne Cali, artisan and weaver, that I discovered the world of weaving.
The actual process of running the weft over the warp, is a small percent of the work that goes into creating a handmade textile. Weaving makes up only 10% of the process. The pattern must first be designed and the thread selected.
