This last Wednesday I enjoyed a little tour of the local West Elm store in Portland. They wanted to share their new summer collections and color stories. It was fun! You don’t normally get the back story of everything in a store. So, I really liked that! My favorite item of the evening…. this handmade dining table made from reclaimed pine. I love it when a company uses old materials in it’s creations. Plus, they shared these sweet little gifts with us (some info on the vase and tea light holder from Maria Moyer).
YUM. This Gruyere Potato Gratin was delicious. I made it the other night. So yum.
We are just getting stuff put together for our garden! Found a fun garden website I think will help!
Perfect little tea time cookies! Tea party? Yes.
Stoooooooop! This website looks delicious! I want everything on there! Please.
You can still donate money to March for Babies and win a custom illustration from me! <3
These fruit banana pops are adorable and would be fun for a party!
Yuuuuum! Grilled eggplant and goat cheese salad.
This chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream is beautiful.
How about a glow in the dark easter egg hunt?
I had a fun interview over at Life with Kaishon from the sweet Rebekah!
Next project for my kiddo… a table/fabric playhouse! So cool!
And, my Tumbleweeds eyewear giveaway is still going on! Good luck!
Happy Friday everyone! I’m on a little vacation from the blog this week! Lots of cuddles with the family. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!
