Friday Favorites from Delish, Once Upon A Chocolate Life, Carla Coulson, House Beautiful and More!

September 6, 2015 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Good morning! Happy Labor Day Weekend! I guess this weekend is considered the end of Summer, hard to believe because in my area, because it has been in the high 90’s. I will tell you that I am not going to complain though because from all I have heard on the news lately we are in for a long, cold winter.

This week my Friday Favorites include many of my favorite things, gardens, museums, books, travel and more. 

Although it is the end of summer, I am still looking for new adventures for my next vacation. This “working holiday” in Scotland is right up my alley. A) It’s in Scotland. B.) It includes Books. C.) You can rent a room and in return you get to work in the owners bookstore!

Art and cake are two of my other favorite things. After seeing this unbelievable chocolate cake on DELISH I have decided this should be my next birthday cake!

Museums and gardens are also on my list of favorite things. This post from House Beautiful includes the best museums and gardens! 

Last but not least, I LOVE reading blogs and I absolutely love reading other peoples stories, truths and life lessons. THIS post by Carla Coulson is brilliant and a beautiful piece of advice not only for 16 year olds, but for all women. You may know Carla for her stunning photography but I think you will really enjoy this post as well. 

One more thing! If you are looking for a chocolate, fudgey, scrumptious treat to make and eat this weekend make sure to check out these Cookies and Cream Brownies from Once Upon a Chocolate Life.

I am off to have my “stress test” this morning, hopefully we can finally rule out a few things and then get to the root of my pains lately.

Have a great weekend!

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers. Even though it feels as if we are all alone in our pain it is a balm to the broken heart to have you walking along side of us. #grief #greiving #thankyou #kindness #friendship #kindwords
This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
