I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the weekend. I’m also ready to say HELLO, dear friend! to spring.

Where are you spring? I need you in my life. Like NOW.

Here’s a list of some of my faves from this week…

I don’t know what you’ll be up to this weekend, but if your looking for me I’ll be in my kitchen making this pretty masterpiece, seen and instantly loved over at Joy the Baker. Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread, you and me were meant to be. I know this will be the highlight of my weekend and I am beyond excited about it.

This room is light, modern, and beautiful. Bright Bazaar never fails to please when it comes to design.

I’ve been following Making it Lovely for awhile now, and I just LOVE the monthly photo project she is doing with her little girl (and now again with her new baby boy!). Each month she snaps a photo in the same spot and it’s so miraculous to see how babies grow so fast! What a terrific idea and such an incredible keepsake.

These mason jar chandeliers are precious!!! What a fabulous idea by BootsNGus seen via Meg’s Musings.

This gorgeous print, by Denise Levy, is so bold and lovely. The bright yellow brings me a feeling of energy and the bicycle and flowers bring happy thoughts of warmer weather.

Besides making the insanely delicious cinnamon pull-apart bread, I’ll be wishing happy spring thoughts this weekend. LOTS of them. Hope you have a good one! xo.

Special sunday edition! Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend! I’m at the St. Patrick’s Day Southie Parade today enjoying the bright sunshine and green beer. Wish the weekend didn’t ever have to end…

Here’s a compilation of things I’ve seen and loved this week… enjoy!

Don’t you just love this shelving piece I discovered on Bright Bazaar? I love how it’s decorated with such brightly colored bowls and pitchers.

I want to make some of this delicious looking Oatmeal Stout Cake with Apples and Whiskey Cream that the ladies over at Big Girls Small Kitchen whipped up. YUM!

This print by elgarboart via Hey Suzy is so beautiful. I love the look of the sky and the tiny people visible in the basket. So pretty!

Blissful Mediocrity posted this for St. Patrick’s Day via Lily Pilitzer. CUTE!

Speaking of illustrations, I love these by Emma Kisstina posted on Little White Whale.

Deviled Eggs are my FAAAAAAVORITE! And these basic deviled eggs from Pinch My Salt look oh so so so tasty.

What a cool shelf of tea pots. Photo from Blue Pool Road spotted on Esquisite Banana.

I came across this picture of Le Petite Prince on elephantine this week and although I read it many years ago, it reminds me how much I loved it and how I need to read it over again!

Hope you’ve had a nice weekend. Spring is coming and daylight savings has brought my spirits up! Have a great week!

Oh my goodness this week has been awfully busy. But I made it! It’s Friday night and I made it out alive.

Phew!

Just a few things I saw and loved this week… here ya go!

Darling Studio’s blog BRUNCH featured these note cards this week by the artist Susie Ghahremani. Very lovely!

I love the look and sound of this frozen brazo de mercedes cake by Trissa of Trissalicious via 6 Bittersweets.

This is a dream house and I want to be in it. Seen and super loved on Wide Open Spaces via The Pink and Blue Blog.

Absolutely love these fabrics by Ink and Spindle via Freshly Blended. All of Ink and Spindle’s textiles are beautiful and I want to make my own pillows with them!

Isn’t this dresser amazing?! And I love the mirror too!! Spotted via Kelly and Olive.

How fun are these adorable party straws? I want to drink a raspberry Pina Colada with one of these. By Emerald + Ella via Hooray Design.

Lastly, I love this photograph of these kimquats seen at Oh Happy Day! I had this fruit once when Zan’s mom brought a bunch back from California. They’re like oranges, but mini and more tart. And you just pop them in your mouth with the skin on! They are verrrrry tasty.

Have a great weekend!!

I hope this Friday finds you well. For me this weekend is the last hurrah of my vacation, so I plan to make the most of it up here in Lake Placid! Here are some of my favorites from this week…. enjoy!

I think I’ve had dessert on the mind this week! This lemon meringue cake looks divine… seen over at honey and fizz.

I’ve been seeing glimpses of Zara’s home collection here and there the past few weeks, but no one has done quite an extensive preview as Bright Bazaar. I am loving everything in the collection!

I LOVE these unique wedding invitations spotted on 100 Layer Cake (invitations by Oh Joy!)

Polka dotted tea cup and saucer, seen and loved at The Pursuit of Style.

A collection of Penguin Classic Books via A Piece of Toast. I’ve seen some of these being sold at Anthropologie recently!

I love this handmade ruffle shirt I found on Tea Rose Home. I’d like to think I could do something like this myself, but the only thing I’ve ever sewn is a broken button.

What a funky feel this kitchen has. I love the high ceilings and the windows that seem to touch the sky. Via Kitchenisms.

I know this is probably obvious by how many times I’ve mentioned warm weather and flip flops in the past few weeks, but I am so ready for summer. This picture, seen on Stephanie Says, makes me feel almost as if I am there. Almost. And for now, that’s good enough for me.

Happy weekend!!
