Thank you to Lucille for preparing a wonderful lunch in celebration of your birthday. 

We   your cooking and the company. Happy Birthday Lucille!!

Taking you behind the scenes of that sumptuos lunch……Lucille is a serious chef which is why she has two kitchens.  Her regular kitchen…..

……….and her “serious” kitchen where she does all her “serious” cooking and baking. 

 For now she does it as a hobby but maybe later on she would like to conduct cooking classes for some friends. What a beautiful kitchen!

With Lucille’s permission, Heart2Heart is also featuring her beautiful home.  It is a five year old home designed by Maja Olivares-Co.  The house is classic and timeless.  Everything was in order and very clean. It is a three storey house with an attic.   Lucille showed me her collection of paintings- Isabel Diaz being one of her favorites –  and many of the beautiful things she bought from Rustan’s while we were still officemates around 15 years ago – framed Cartier scarves, Tiffany dinnerware, Tiffany ginger urn and an MMA ( Metropolitan Museum of Arts) vase.  I particularly like the fact that she has an altar with a beautiful Mother in Child made out of ivory tusk in the middle of the rooms.   The Christmas decors were elegantly done by Rustan’s flower shop.  No wonder Lucille worked in Rustan’s…she loves Rustan’s just like me 🙂
