Weathered Venetian Doors

looking back on my photos of Venice
these 3 door photos made me pause.

with all the stunning, ornate, intentional beauty in Venice
one can be distracted from observing these more quiet, utilitarian examples
of rustic beauty....

wishing everyone a peaceful, satisfying New Year that enriches with every passing day...

The Gilead Cafe

I had to have some minor adjustments made to my vehicle this morning. this meant waiting at this beautiful cafe, just down the street from the garage...

it is called the Gilead Cafe and is run by chef Jaimie Kennedy.
all these gorgeous jars are filled with preserved produce that is used in
the restaurant's fresh and delicious food...

I love how simple yet stunning this looks.

it was a lovely way to start the day...
