Tropical Thanksgiving

 

I'm headed down to Florida today and found these images as some inspiration for our tropical day of thanks. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Food + Etsy =

You guessed it - Foodzie! Foodzie is literally just like Etsy - an online platform for food artists to sell their goods. Foodzie was a featured vendor at the Foodbuzz Conference in San Fran this past weekend (a conference for Food bloggers/three day food fest!)

Choose the type of food you're looking for (chocolate, cheese, meat, breads, etc.), use the discover option to learn about new producers, or find vendors local to your area on a map. A Philadelphia confectioner, John and Kira's, is featured for my zip code. As far as I can see there are stories about all of the sellers so you can find out a little bit about where your food is coming from.

And some great gift ideas for the foodies in your life! Who's Your Daddy Bacon Potato Chips would be a huge hit with a few people I know....

Weekend Revival

Happy Friday! Postings have been sparse recently because I've been busy. And I'm exhausted. This weekend I'd like to recuperate here. Specifically in this bed, with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate. Or maybe on that rug. How comfy! This house has been making the blog rounds so you may have already seen it....if not, check it out stat. One of the most beautiful renovations I've ever seen. I'm not typically a Spanish Revival kind of gal, I think because it's been SO overdone with new construction (especially after living in California) but this is, in my opinion, the real-deal.  I'm loving the neutral palate, warm woods, so much light and glass and texture and natural elements. The care for original detail, like those Moorish arches and imperfect plaster walls, that's so hard to find these days. Even their silverware drawer is beautiful. The owners of the home have a blog called 11 Bonita Drive so we can be sure to get lots more eye candy. Enjoy these pics and have a great weekend!

Rickshaw Design

Came across these very John Robshaw-esque bedding pieces by Rickshaw Design. I love me some Indian inspired textiles!
