Kathleen, what a fun post and I really enjoyed the geography lesson of LI and seeing the ferry in the fog. How fun to go shopping with you and see your treasures as well...there is one of those italian pottery shops in Duluth that I check out once in a while with Jayme. I love those bright colored napkins/bowls and your pink cabbage bowl almost look salmon or orangey-pink on camera. It will be fun to see how you use them in a future tablescape.

Kathleen, what a wonderful tradition that you and your friend have .. I, too, enjoyed the geography lesson. Greenport sound like an interesting town. The Italian pottery looks amazing. ... Darling little ducks.

I totally agree with the Rainier cherries ... definitely better, in my opinion. More fruit around the pit and sweeter.

I love banana bread, too, and yours always look so tasty. Walnuts for me, pecans for John, but no choc. chips for either of us.

What a fun post Kathleen! Looks like you had a nice day with your buddy. Love the napkins. I swear..we don't have bargains like that over here. New York may be expensive on some things but CHEAP on others! Of course I am not the super shopper you are but I strive to be :-) Glad you liked the Raniers. I had never had or seen them before moving out here. The color attracted me, but the taste won me over for life! I only buy Raniers..plentiful out here every year but especially this year. I buy a pound at the Farmer's Market and bring them back to the office then make myself sick eating them all afternoon! lol I suppose there are worse things I could pig out on :-) Congrats on your cherries on FG! Fun pic and they say they like a catching title!

Thanks for liking my blue and whites...I wanted to sprinkle pecans over the after-dinner mints but I knew you'd laugh me out of Dodge!! haaaa hahaaahhhaaa....

2009-07-29T17:09:50.016-07:00

Kathleen, those napkins are just about the cutest things I've seen, and the bowls too. What great deals you got! I can't wait to see a tablescape with them. Looks like L.I. is a wonderful place to have a fun day of shopping. Glad you had such a great time with your friend. OOOOO, that ban. etc, etc, bread sounds so fabulous! Will you share the recipe? laurie

How nice that you and your friend have kept in touch all these years. It sounds like you had a fun time. I could have had some fun in that Italian pottery shop. Love the Homegoods finds!

Hi Kathleen, glad you enjoyed your trip to the GOOD fork. :-P

We weren't out that far on Sunday --just to Centerport. I keep trying to find time to get out to Southold, but -- oy. So many other obligations.

Annie and I may get out next week. She wants to go before she's off to grad school in Sept. It's been a month -- more! -- since we've been out. Too long.

Isn't Greenport fun? When alida and I were there last month, we talked to a very nice fellow who had JUST opened a shop. Oh, I wish him luck! Greenport has had many ups and downs -- I remember its seedy days really well! It will bounce up again.

How's tourism and business on the South Fork?

I just LOVE the dishes & napkins! Before moving to the prairie, we lived in the land of Rainier cherries. They are always the winner.

What a great outing with a friend, Kathleen! I would have gone crazy seeing all those beautiful Italian pottery and dinnerware. I love the colorful set that you bought with the napkins. They will make a very pretty tablescape...Christine

All the corn here is now ripening at the same time. That isn't good. Heat wave to blame.
BTW a dating popup has come up twice when I have clicked from your profile to your blog today. It is called meetaz or something like that.

What a fun tradition! The food you enjoyed sounds great! When I get back to Southern California I'm going to meet an old high school friend for lunch that I haven't seen in 40 years! I'm in the land of Rainier cherries right now. So yummy...

O, Kathleen, I just spit sweet Texas tea all over my screen when I read your "well, there's the pecans" statement in my comments..
hahhaaa..Now, can I use PECANS instead of Walnuts in this great looking bread?? We make Banana Nut Bread out here.
I loved your story of you and your friend. Nothing in the world like an old friend that you love so much...Great post, dear one.
