A couple of weeks ago, we went to Napa to visit a favorite Aunt and have a bit of Lunch at Oxbow Public Market. Oxbow is such a fun place, full of food purveyors of all kinds. There is a small farmer's market, an oyster bar, wonderful ice cream, cheese, tea, meats...you name it! Modeled after the Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco, it is a wonderful place to try an array of delicious treats.

On this latest excursion, we had so much fun at a place new to us that specializes in culinary antiques and curiosities. We were immediate fans of Heritage Culinary Artifacts..... 

Proprietress, Lisa Minucci, has been obsessed with all things involving food and wine since she can remember. It would only follow that travel would be a huge part of her life in order to follow her passion around the world. We are lucky to have access to her world-wide finds, all having to do with cooking, or, as I would put it....the good life.

I hope you enjoy a little foray into Lisa's world....a collection devoted to cooking.....

and even better......

....to eating!

to read more about Lisa and her latest adventures, I hope you have a chance to peruse her foodie blog, Morsels, and visit her Online Shop.

Open that bottle of wine, spread a little brie on a baguette and enjoy.
