With peaches in peak season right now, this shortbread is looking like a delicious way to use some up after peach picking.  How can you go wrong with shortbread?

Tent Dreaming

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

With our camping trip to Acadia starting next week, I’ve got all things outdoorsy on the brain preparing for our vacation to Maine.  These tents (found via Darling Dexter) are heavenly!  I only wish camping was this cozy.

3191 Quarterly

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I’ve been eagerly awaiting to hear from Stephanie and Mav on 3191 Miles Apart to see what their big project news was, and they’ve finally let the cat out of the bag: they’ll be producing a quarterly magazine called 3191 Quarterly.  I love the tidbits of advice, recipes, photographs, and personal stories & experiences they share on their blog (especially how their individual posts juxtaposition and compliment each other), so I’m very much looking forward to this new endeavor of theirs.  Issues will be sold separately or per subscription.  Check out their shop for more info!

Salsa Crazy

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

I was never a fan of tomatoes until a few years ago.  They were one of those vegetables that I put into the “I don’t like” category, but honestly I couldn’t remember the last time I even gave them a try.  After sampling here and there, I began to develop a taste for them and although they’re not my favorite, I do love a good tomato.  Last week, I started craving tomato salsa, bruschetta, and anything with fresh tomatoes.  This recipe for salsa fresca (and chicken tacos!  i love tacos!) looks easy, simple, and delicious.  Gotta get my tomato fix now while they’re in season!

Fell in love with these rhinestone bow brooches over on Cherry Blossom Girl (while she was visiting Maria Lucia Hohan’s Atelier).  Definitely something to add to my lust list!  Check out her entire post for gorgeous, feminine dresses.

I’ve been seeing a lot on the design blogs lately about Petite Alma, but this photo of their business card and stationery grabbed my attention (via simple + pretty).  Simple and sweet!  Definitely check out their site for lots more of cute stuff.

Lola & Adam’s Wedding

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

The wedding of Lola and Adam on today’s 100 Layer Cake is insanely gorgeous!  Such amazing color, especially that purple.  I’m not usually a purple-person, but I’m really loving this wedding’s palette.
