things i saw, things i love

Happy spring, dear readers! Although this week has been quite a dreary one, I’m just hoping this means that sunshine and flowers are on their way. I’ve gotten to do a good amount of blog reading while I’ve been on vacation this week, and it’s been great. I’m amazed at how many blogs are out there in this virtual world of ours and I keep discovering new and more wonderful ones all the time.

Here are some of the things I’ve seen and loved this week…

The flowers in this bucket are my most favorite colors. I’m so in love with all kinds of shades of orange and pink. I even love the red thrown into the mix here! (photo from The Bottom of the Ironing Basket)

You must check out this homemade cheesy cracker recipe over at little white whale. I love the Noak’s Ark animal shapes, and the recipe seems easy and delicious!

What an adorable idea for a thank you spotted on You Are My Fave. Candy in a jar! Are those peachy-o’s I see? Yummmmm.

Seeing this photograph makes me yearn for summer. I can’t wait til the air is warm and the breeze feels wonderful after a hot summer afternoon. Summer is my happy time and I am counting the days! Photo found at For Me.

These brown butter toasted coconut chocolate cookies look devine over at Joy the Baker. Whew! That’s a mouthful of a cookie name, but it doesn’t get much better than that. I can’t wait to try baking these soon.

What a great collection of spring vintage fashion seen over at Paper Morning. I love the green dress and the Kate Spade purse! Also, I’ve been tempted to pick up that cookbook from Anthropologie on a number of occasions, but have yet to make the final move. Might just have to the next time I am there!

And lastly, here’s a dreaming look at a cherry blossom tree via Meg’s Musings. They are about to burst into bloom around DC and I wish I could be there to witness the magic.

Happy Friday, everyone! xo
