Love the VÅJÖN plant stand in IKEA’s spring collection. The three 18.5″ planters are actually a removable part of the 32″ tall piece. I probably need a few of these and since they’re at IKEA I can actually afford them – yea!
Tres leches is one of my very favorite desserts – I still remember the very first time I had at the Cadillac Bar in Dallas. I could have eaten plate upon plate overflowing with that milk-soaked cakey goodness. This coconut version offers up a spin on the original by using coconut milk as one of the three different milks in the leche mixture. Yum.

The weather has been spot-on beautiful for the past few days, so of course it’s supposed to rain both Saturday and Sunday since I won’t be cooped up in an office. Go figure!
Have a fantastic weekend and lovely Easter Sunday filled with headless chocolate rabbits and stale marshmallow Peeps!

Meet CB2s modern version of the Luxembourg gardens chair – the Buena Park Bench. Park yourself closer to the ground, slouched in laziness with the sun shining on your face. Rust-proof with really pretty ivory cushions in moisture and mildew-resistant spun polyester. Buena park chair also available to match.
The Signature Now & Then Cake Stand is kind of a little guy – only 9″ across. The red hue and shiny glaze finish sold me anyways. Makes me want to bake snowball cupcakes and stack them up on it!

Hot Cross Buns mean Easter at the grocery store. I’m ashamed to admit that A.) I’ve never attempted to make them and B.) I chose this particular version of the recipe because the title of the post was “Fruity, Spicy, Sticky.”

The Kids@Work desk and chair were designed by Ora Ito for Habitat’s Very Important Products for Kids Collection. So modern and sleek. I love the lines the silhouette creates. Preschool and kindergarten classrooms the world over need to be filled with these!
Shrimp and Bacon Carbonara that’s looks incredibly sinful. I’ll give an A+ to anything with bacon, so i can’t wait to try this one out. Did I mention I’m drooling??
These Staffan pillows by Mjuk are dreamy. I want to fill my couch with them – they look perfectly huggable. Once again wrap something in a “sweater” and I’m sold!
