Very cool project going on in the home of recovering lazyholic!
“colorful reminders spattered all about my house might make me more prone to living my life a little better. that or give the appearance that i am completely incapable of being an adult without visual aides. i can’t seem to stop myself from adding more and more.”
Loving this storefront meets Brooklyn bridge silkscreen print titled Brooklyn by Wayne Pate. Check out the rest of his work that’s up for grabs, too.
Design nerds unite! More Pantone gear has recently hit the markets. Messenger bags, book bags, big wallets and passport holders now join the coffee mugs, tea mugs and espresso cups. All available at pop deluxe.
Cucumbers are one of my favorite sumer veggies. I love the crispness and mild flavor. Cucumber season isn’t here quite yet, but I thought I’d get your summer recipe wheels a-turnin’ with Cucumber Week.
I think I’ve only eaten a cold soup maybe, oh, once in my lifetime. They’re all over the place, just not on my table. But I’m thinking that could change with this recipe for Cool Cucumber Soup. I love the simple ingredients used and that it probably packs a mean flavor punch.

Linda & Harriett recently expanded their line of much sought after notepads to include thirteen designs! Measuring around 5.25 X 8.5″ and weighing in at 100 pages, they’re bigger than your average notepad for lots of notes and doodling. I have this one and it makes me happy each and every time I use it.
And lucky, lucky you because they’re offering up one of their lace notepads to one of you!
Here’s how to enter: I want to know if you could write one letter who it would be to and why. Your BFF? Your BF? Or maybe even yourself? You have until next Monday, May 18th at noon CST to comment. (US residents only please.) Please include your email address to be eligible. A winner will be chosen shortly after. Good luck!

I consider myself one of the lucky ones because my mom truly is my best friend. A few weeks ago I sent her a invitation to join me for a Mother’s Day luncheon Sunday. I think I’ve narrowed the menu down to strawberry poppyseed salad, roast chicken and sage pesto paninis and blackberry mousse. I think I’ll also have a big vase of flowers sitting on the kitchen table for her when she arrives at my house!
For those of you who are last minute here are a few links to check out:
• DIY Mother’s Day door hanger from Twig & Thistle
• downloadable card from Spagat
• downloadable Happy Mother’s Day banner from Poppytalk
• card for the dads to give via Ambrosia Girl
This Weekend:
• shop for ingredients and make Sunday’s luncheon
• schedule fence and gutter installations
• schedule Peanut’s annual vet appointment
• LAUNDRY!!!
• cookout at C+H’s
• price storm doors
Do have big plans to either spoil or be spoiled this weekend for Mother’s Day? Or maybe both?
Happy Weekend!
Happy Mother’s Day!
