Really digging the packaging of the Chocophilia line from Kerstin’s Chocolates. If you stop by the actual store – The Cocoa Room – in Edmonton, Alberta you can even participate in chocolate tastings and classes!
It’s never too early to start preparing for your Christmas baking and these Little Figgy Christmas Cakes are definitely going on mine for this December! (I might even sneak them in early for Thanksgiving…)
Sophie Blackall of Brooklyn is the mastermind artist behind Missed Connections, a blog all about missed opportunity and interaction. She takes random passings and creates the most beautiful imagery, then tells short stories about the moments behind them. I love her style and quippy humor, not to mention her handwriting!
The Gemmy was created from farmer’s market inspiration and a tub of boysenberries. The bright jewel toned color is just begging you to take a sip and dive right in!
The Gemmy • ½ tangerine (or sweet citrus), juiced • ½ lemon, juiced • 5 boysenberries • 1 oz simple syrup • 2 oz spiced rum • 2 branches of thyme
In a cocktail mixer, muddle boysenberries and the leaves from one branch of thyme. Juice half a lemon and tangerine into the glass. Add the simple syrup and rum and then fill the glass with ice. Shake well and serve immediately. Garnish with the remaining branch of thyme.
This Figgy Pizza is seriously the best pizza pie recipe I’ve seen in a long time. It’s giving me a massive case of the nom noms as I eat my yogurt instead.
I’m in full back-to-school mode, sans classes and kiddos. When August rolls around my focus is on one thing: school supplies! I’m a nut for them. I stalk the aisles at the big box stores looking for notebooks to last me through the coming year. And while I normally end up with the 5 Star brand for their durability, I’m loving the more handcrafted ones that are popping up everywhere. These Pocket Workbooks from dozi really caught my eye.
