Friday Favorites from Tone on Tone, Seasons & Suppers, Smithsonian and More

March 5, 2016 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! Can you believe it is already March! Soon it will St.Patrick’s day, then Easter and Spring! I cannot believe how fast 2016 seems to be going. I have said it before but I feel as if the older I get the faster life seems to pass. All the more reason to enjoy each and every day.

I love Maine and would love to own a house there but we are trying to downsize our lives so that will have to be in another lifetime. If you or anyone you know is looking for a completely restored main or vacation home contact Loi and Tom of Tone on Tone who are downsizing and selling their Maine house. It is spectacular!

I know that many people live a high protein lifestyle and try to avoid carbs. I would like to stay that I do but if you read this blog with any regularity than you know that I enjoy carbs, a lot. Bread is one of my favorite things EVER to eat, although I do not make it too often because I could eat half of a loaf right out of the oven. This week Seasons & Suppers made Chunky Cheddar Bread and I cannot wait to try it. Doesn’t this look like the perfect treat for a cold, snowy day?

March 3rd was National Peanut Butter day who knew? Although I love a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich I prefer my peanut butter with chocolate. Any one of these 12 Best Peanut Butter and Chocolate Recipes would be on my list of treats to eat.

Spring means Easter and Spring Break.  Are you going to be traveling to New York for Easter? If so check out 10 Best Easter Activities in New York from NYC, Style and a Little Cannoli.

An interesting story in Smithsonian about how 43 Decaying Presidential Heads ended up in a Virginia Field.

If you will be in Chicago April 16-17 you could attend  The Chicago Artisan Chocolate Festival.

Speaking of Chicago, if you are a Van Gogh fan than you must get to The Art institute of Chicago from now until May 10th to see their new exhibit of Van Gogh. You can also see the 3 Bedroom Paintings in one place, side by side. Did you know there was more than one of this iconic painting? I confess that I did not. In addition, if you are incredibly lucky you can stay in replica of this room which is featured on Air Bnb, for $10.00. I love the listing!

I hope that you have a great weekend! As always if you found a great book, movie, recipe or whatever this week please share it with us!

    I always love your Friday posts. And, I never had a chance to thank you for featuring my post last week. Yikes – I am too busy! I think everyone is traveling for Spring Break, but that is good for me, I guess! I am going to take my time to read all the links, but I wanted to add that my husband saw the Van Gogh exhibit at the Art Institute and said it was great…how cool about the AirBnB! I also loved Loi's post on their Maine home – I wish I could rent that. 🙂 And, carbs…you KNOW they are my fave! Have a fabulous weekend, Elizabeth! xoxoxo

    PS…I just looked at the AirBnB listing – what a classic! I think the room replica is part of the exhibit. 🙂

    I like Van Gogh. Our National Gallery has at least a couple of his works.

Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning? If you are relaxing with a cup of coffee come over to the blog and check out all of my favorites from around the web this week. I have book recommendations, recipes, fashion finds and more. Have a happy Saturday. #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #saturday #weekendvibes #weekend #flowers #springdecor #spring #springstyle #cherryblossom

I hope that you are surrounded by love on this beautiful day, even if it is only by  the love of God which is the best love there is. Life is what we make it and we can be sad that another Easter finds us at home or we can enjoy it for what it is, a beautiful day, an Easter egg hunt for the dogs, a delicious Bear claw pastry that I made yesterday using a recipe from @sweet_things_by_lizzie_ on the @redstaryeast blog, time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Oh and to eat lots of candy left by the Easter bunny, is 3 @reeses peanut butter eggs before breakfast too many, asking for a friend?

My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few kids to hunt for them. I dyed my eggs this year with red cabbage and I love the colors. Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself? I hope you are enjoying your weekend. #easter #easterdecor #eastereggs #dyedeastereggs #naturallydyedeastereggs #blue #blueandwhiteforever #eggs #easterfun #eastermood #weekend #weekendvibes #food #provincial #countryliving #betterhomesandgardens
Good morning peeps! What are you baking or making Good morning peeps! What are you baking or making this morning? I’ve just finished dying my Easter eggs, I used the red cabbage method and they turned out beautiful! I’m not sure how many days we are going to want to eat hard boiled eggs, although I recall a few baking recipes that use hard boiled eggs. Do you have great hard boiled egg recipes? If so please share. Have a great day! Happy Easter.
