I’m back! As I’ve spent today preparing for company to arrive for the weekend, I found myself in a bit of mourning.  I was going through our serving plates and platters in preparation for tonight’s dinner and remembered my dear Annieglass platter that was given to us as a wedding present.  I adored it’s simple, [...]

At least twice a year this big boulder rushes at me and flattens me.  The boulder’s name is “asthmatic bronchitis”. Let me tell you. It stinks. I’ve been told to lay low for a couple more days while I pop a disturbing amount of pills and suck on my inhaler. Since I’m sure none of you [...]

Welcome to Camille Maurice: Vacation Edition.  This is the version of the blog where things are even more tardy than usual, and it’s author is a bit less long-winded (don’t sigh with relief too loudly, now!).  However, it is also the version of the blog where I share some fabulous conversations and beautiful things found [...]

One of my favorite things about the arts is the way that they build bridges connecting people to worlds which they are unable to visit every day.  There is an exhibition up at the 701 Center for Contemporary Art right now that exemplifies this sentiment to a “T”.  Olympia, an installation by artists-in-residence Gwylène Gallimard [...]

I’m so late.  Internet problems abound at Casa de Maurice these days, and then I had my birthday weekend to contend with, where I was under the illusion that I would actually work rather than drink wine and have kick back with my lovely friends and family.  Shame on me! The above glazed porcelain bottles [...]

Oh wow.  So much going on at the end of the week, including predictions of snow in Columbia! The whole town is in such a tizzy.  The weather system hasn’t even arrived and everyone is already talking about a delayed start tomorrow.  I’m just glad no one has mentioned cancellations.  Jr. has been back in [...]
