		<title>Madeleine day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day &#8230; I&#8217;m in a honey scented cloud in my kitchen. It&#8217;s Honey Madeleine baking day. The recipe I used came from this wonderful wonderful book.

		<description><![CDATA[Sunday, April 15th is Orthodox Easter. Last year we were in Ukraine during this time and could enjoy the atmosphere of the holiday.

		<title>My new Oversized Aubusson Style Pillows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Among so many things I like, cushions are a must. In my opinion, they give a room nice, warm and cozy feel. I really love them and it seems cannot get enough.

		<title>&#8220;Feeling blue&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a &#8220;blue&#8221; person. I always loved warm colors &#8211; yellow, red, orange. But as I&#8217;m feeling &#8216;blue&#8217; and nostalgic at the moment, I went around the house to see how much blue color I actually have. Not much I admit. Looking at the second last picture &#8230; nostalgia at its highest &#8230; a [...]]]></description>

		<title>For the love of porcelain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[{vegetable casserole dish by Booths, England} I believe now it&#8217;s in my genes. When I was growing up in Ukraine (one of the fifteen of Soviet Union Republics at that time), beautiful porcelain was not readily available in shops. You had to make some effort to get it.
