Happy Weekend.

I know we just had a three day weekend and all that jazz, but I’m beat. Between the late night NBA Finals and making an attempt to landscape my yard I’m in desperate need of some shut eye! I hope you all have a fabulously relaxing weekend full of wonderful awesomeness!

This Weekend:
• celebrate mom’s postponed/belated birthday dinner at Red Prime Steak
• put together patio set (wish me luck!)
• touch-up baseboards and cabinetry around the house
• buy hanging plants for newly installed hooks on porch posts

Happy Weekend!

3 to See.

because I bookmark almost all of the recipes
and I love the clean look of the blog
and that you can create your own cookbook

because she’s an amazing artist
and shows the best tutorials
and is still at university

because she sometimes feels the need to write haikus
or wear fake moles
and super duper funny

The Daily Eat: Apricot Chiffon Pie + Apricot Round Up.



My grandmother is a pro at chiffon pies, which is quite possibly why they’re really the only type of pie that I like. Her specialties were peach and strawberry, but I’m thinking this Apricot Chiffon Pie is worth a shot, too!

ecojot.

I have more paper goods than I can shake a stick at (do people still say that even?), but I can’t stop smiling when I look at ecojot’s collection. Their notebooks are my favorite, but they also have a big ‘ol selection of agendas, calendars and other things covered in their fun and carefree illustrations! (Psst… don’t miss their free eco cards and desktop wallpaper!)

Markus Georg.

I can’t stop gazing at the work of German photographer Markus Georg. More specifically his die macht der bilder (The Power of Images) series where he takes famous landmarks and replicates them using everyday objects. Can you guess what these are?

Wooden Cutlery.

Eye catching wooden cutlery that’s sure to make any outdoor shindig that much better. I love the attention to detail on the necks!
