Happy Weekend.

I’ve been putting up a valiant effort in fighting off a cold that’s threatening to take away my weekend, but it seems to be gaining an edge. The achiness has moved in and my willingness to venture out of the house and moved on. If by chance you’re feeling under the weather as well, content yourself from your couch with these lovely links from the past week… Happy Weekend!

**NOTE: Don’t forget, you only have until Monday at 9am to enter the PaPaYa giveway to win a beautiful giclee print from Sabrina Ward Harrison.

The Daily Eat: Roasted Eggplant Dip + Eggplant Roundup.

I’m in the middle of a love affair with dip that’s been going on for as long as I can remember. It started innocently enough as a child, using a green pepper from a veggie tray to scoop mouthfuls of it into my greedy little mouth. Ignoring social etiquette and using the same slice of pepper again and again, of course. Now it’s advanced to a high level, for example this Roasted Eggplant Dip. But I still find it hard to turn down a tub of french onion dip from the grocery store!

Heidi Burton Halloween Postcards.

I found these awesome off-the-wall Halloween postcards by Heidi Burton a few weeks ago and have been dying to share. They embody exactly what October 31st is all about: embracing your quirkiness and bringing out your inner wild child! Her shop is closed until October 8th, but be sure and stop by to check everything out once she returns.
