{Wrapped Filet Mignon with Mustard ♥ Healthy ♥}

This week is for the U.S.A a special holiday on Thursday; THANKSGIVING

So why not post another recipe, not with a turkey for Thanksgiving but something ♥ healthy to share.

Wrapped Filet Mignon with Mustard from my favorite French Le Journal des FEMMES: Papillote de filet mignon à la moutarde.

{Batik Birds from Indonesia on Silk and Cotton}

Of course, while living and working in Indonesia for over three years,
we did bring home some of its beautiful Batik.

From Bali we got a large batik on cotton, with birds.
This one hangs in our dining room.

From the Kraton Palace in Yogjakarta, Indonesia, we got this beautiful silk batik. 

They gave demonstrations inside the Palace, about batik painting and we did buy this.

Together with our best friends from Dublin we visited there during the weekend. 

This Palace is worthwhile to visit if you ever travel to Indonesia!

 With the glass, it is rather difficult to capture this beauty on silk.
It is hanging in our veranda, where windows are on two sides...

The matting of this one, and also the framing of the top batik, has been done as usual by Irok Gallery. They do museum quality framing!

For some batik making try this link for video.

{French Lavender Sachet with Vintage Rose Filet Lace}

Here comes a generously sized long Sachet, filled with French Lavender. 

It is done in an all cotton burgundy luxury fabric, that has been hand-rolled and fringed artistically.

The most precious decoration however is the Vintage Rose Filet Lace.

Lovingly done by hand, in the so called 'linen-stitch'.

It would also pair nicely with the {French Linen Heart for Door Knob Hanging} from my previous post that has similar Vintage Rose Lace...
