As a sort of “expansion” of Picture It I’ll be posting photo collections every once in awhile. They’ll be based around either a trend I’m seeing in photography or just a subject I’m especially fond of. I hope you enjoy!

Okay fine, I was screaming them in my head but that’s gotta count for something, right?! Stop by and check out the rest of von Holleban’s portfolio at his site.
Maybe I should have considered having Egg Week closer to Easter. But I’ve never been the best at timing.
I adore breakfast for dinner and love dishes that can be eaten any time of day. Deep Dish Quiche fits that bill perfectly. A nice flakey crust filled with all that deliciousness is yummy at any time of day.

There’s no better way to kick off yet another monotonous Monday than with a giveaway, wouldn’t you agree? So let’s do it!
This week you have the chance to win your very own pair of gorgeous Vinea and Folium earrings from YellowGoat. Vinea and Folium is latin for “vine and leaf” which is fitting – the design of these earrings was inspired by a trip to a fishing village with lawns full of vines! Each earring is two parts, a small vine pendant and a larger leaf charm. I’d wear them to dress up for a night out or to the inevitable summer wedding. So pretty!
You know the drill: visit YellowGoat’s shop and comment back with which piece you like best. YellowGoat herself will choose the winner. You have until next Monday, May 4th at noon CST, to leave your comment. Please include your email address or you will not be eligible when the winner is chosen. The winner will be announced shortly after.
Good luck!

This week went awesomely fast and the weekend is supposed to be beautiful. Well, at least until Sunday evening when some storms are supposed to roll in. Make time to enjoy the warmth that’s passing through the country this weekend! So far mine is looking amazingly low-key and unplanned. And I’m loving it.
This Weekend:
• plan out landscaping for my front yard
• wash car
• visit the Festival of the Arts
• sketch and draw
Happy Weekend!

This recipe for Blackberry Mousse with Crushed Almond Praline is currently residing at the very tippy top of my To Make recipe list. That’s why I saved it for last (you know how the saying goes). It looks perfectly light and fluffy and punctuated by the slight crunch of the almond praline. I’m actually salivating as I type this. Maybe a not so subtle hint that I should plan on making it this weekend?
