The married couple, both born in the Normandy area of France, did not meet until after both had moved to the United States and are now married ten years. Halbout is an artisan furniture maker, learning his trade as his father’s woodshop at home, d’Iris a textile designer recognized for her excellence in working in felting, knitting and natural dyeing of her materials. Fair Haven residents, the couple have an organic garden at home where Nathalie grows her own marigolds, black-eyed Susans, Cosmos and other flowers and vegetables to produce the unique dyes she applies to all natural fibers, including cotton and linen, wool, mohair and silk.

Review: The Little Things

Busted!! I went to see the movie “The Little Things” 100% as a salute to uber actor Denzel Washington. He has provided me decades of big screen entertainment and he absolutely deserves that I blindly by a ticket to anything he does.
Once I settled in my seat (3 people including me in the entire theatre) I thought to myself, always worrying about the future of theaters, is he the highest profile actor to return to the big screen since they reopened? - I think the answer is yes.
It took me a while to try to remember when I first saw his work focusing on movies when it dawned on me “dummy” that he rocked some Dr. role in a TV Fav of mine…”St. Elsewhere”.. What a career.
