BARCLAY BUTERA ~ DESIGNS AND LIFESTYLE

I love the work of  Barclay Butera, and I am sharing many images of his work. His furniture line is fabulous also, and I have included just a small sampling.  ENJOY!

Horchow recently gave away an entire shopping cart totaling $15,000, and these pieces were the items in my cart. The dining room table and chair are by Barclay Butera. Some lucky winner took away a cart full of winnings.


I love this wing back!!!

PAULA DEEN ~ FRIED CHERRY WALNUT PIES


                                 Fried Cherry Walnut Pies

This is not on my diet, but I will be making these pies! ENJOY!


Ingredients

Directions

In a Dutch oven or deep fryer, pour the oil to a depth of 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
In a cold medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and eggs. Stir in the walnuts, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the cherries. Cool for 20 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, unroll 1 pie crust. Cut circles from the dough using a 4-inch cutter. Re-roll and cut circles from the dough scraps. Stack the dough circles between pieces of wax paper. Repeat the procedure with the remaining pie crusts.
Place 1 pie crust circle on a flat surface. Lightly brush the edges of the crust with beaten egg yolk. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of walnut mixture in the center of the circle. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining rounds and walnut mixture.
Fry the pies, in batches, until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

LILLY PULITZER ~ FURNISHING LINE

When the name Lilly is spoken in my house, it indicates that some money is about to be spent by my college student daughter!  She never comes home empty handed whether in Birmingham or Seagrove when she "runs over" to  the local Lilly store.

Now, I am the one in love with Lilly.  Don't get me wrong, I love their clothing, paper, jewelry, shoes, bedding, and all thing Lilly, but the new furniture line has me crazy in love!

This is just a few of the pieces, so visit here, here, here, and here to see more, and like them on Facebook here.  ENJOY!


 I am dying for this chair!





This is just the tip of the iceberg.  Follow the links above for more.
