ABC Dragoo {Featured} Creatives Cook
How often to I sing the praises of Twitter? Yet again, I have to say it is a wonderful place! As part of my Nesting “Twibe” I like to Tweet and RT (re-tweet) items of interest that I think my Nesting Group would like. The key topics in this group are Nesting, Design, Home and Recipes. One morning last week I was “Tweeting” back and forth with interior designer Tobi Fairley (@tobifairley) about banana bread and spaghetti carbonara recipes – when lovely Ms. Shani aka (@camillemaurice) chimed in. She had decided to start a whole series of blog posts about creative professionals and their favorite recipes on her blog called Camille Maurice. What a pleasure and compliment to me ~as Camille Maurice asked ABCD to be interviewed for the VERY FIRST CREATIVES COOK POST!!
It’s just starting to get incredibly hot and humid in NYC. The moment the temp goes over 70 degrees, I start to wish for Fall in a really big way. I was interviewed for the Creatives Cook blog post as well as asked to share my *very* favorite recipe. I have so many favorites … but since I am longing for Fall, I decided to share my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread Recipe.
Pop on over to read a little about me … (ABCD!) … and to start planning your first October Bakery session!

{Lemons to Lemonade Update} It is pretty exciting as we have an opportunity that would take us clear across the country to Los Angeles – can you imagine that? We’d be near Cordelia (our new niece) AND have a new place to decorate ~Yippee!

How much decorating trouble would you get into with all that California space to fill?!

I know Maggie! I KNOW!!! That is why it is seriously thrilling. Heck, what if the office is actually on Manhattan Beach or Santa Monica? I may just have to embrace the whole “beach” aesthetic. Nice no? You know I often dream-blog about beach decorating!
Possibly we WILL have an outdoor space where I can have a farm table and two candle lit chandeliers under a pergola … OR … what if we end up finding a Spanish style villa behind a private gate in the Hollywood Hills? (check out http://www.redfin.com) I mean really – how totally different from NYC! It’s really exciting because the real estate market in L.A. has gone down so drastically. We’ll get a lot more for our money there.
Not to mention … the food … most of the lovely veggies are grown in California -Gorgeous Produce!- I may just lock myself in the new kitchen and cook every recipe I have in each and every one of those books.
Okay – it’s just a pipe dream for now – but let’s keep our fingers crossed!

OMG you are hilarious. Hmmm…thought much about what this lovely life in Cali would be like? I love it! FYI, I’ve totally done the same thing and dream-planned my life in Austin, TX…back in Boston…Rio! Need a hobby clearly. But wait that is my hobby

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I just had a look at your apt. How fantastic! It makes me miss living in NY. Can’t wait to see your new digs. It’s great to discover your blog. Have a lovely weekend.

Omg I just found your site from your comment on From the right bank to the left coast blog — I went to go look at pic of your apartment and nearly died!!! They’re amazingly gorgeous!!! And I wish you good luck and a chance to move, especially so that I could see your next decoration project!!

I guess this should teach me a lesson! I read lot’s and lot’s of blogs but rarely leave comments. Here I have been eyeing the Right Bank for months (had it in my blogroll) and just from me leaving one comment over there I have two new folks who’ve “found” me here at ABCD Design.
Goes to show that maybe I should stop and leave a comment or two!
Ladies, thanks for stopping in. Please do come back again soon.
Warm regards
