The place you come when you want to feel like you've come home.

Thanks for stopping by! We'd like to send you two complimentary free recipes: Blanched Asparagus with Orange Caper Salsa, and Sarah's Ginger Scones-just for visiting. Sign up by clicking the "Free Recipes" button.

Once you've connected with us, we'll be offering food, floral, design and entertaining tips.

If you're an adventurer at heart, we'll even be taking short trips, such as our initial foray to Los Angeles, as we visit Carole's Hip Haunts and Hideaways. If that sparks a synapse, watch for more information in the coming weeks.

We also invite you to explore our exciting selection of Favorite Finds. Using that white platter for the asparagus and showing off some sweet peas in the placecard vases, gives your guests the impression that you really know what you're doing. Shhhhh...it's our little secret...they'll never know that a chef's not hiding in your kitchen.

And be sure to check us out in two National Magazines this month, Life: Beautiful and Better Homes & Gardens "Garden Ideas and Outdoor Living".

Now that she's a cover girl, Sarah thinks she's looking more like Catherine Zeta Jones every day (they are both British, you know). Pick up the articles and see if you don't agree.

Cheerio!

P.S.	We'd love to hear from you, especially if you're interested in our jaunt to L.A. Just drop us a note at ourhousesouthcounty@cox.net.
