Friday Favorites from Design Addict Mom, Nora Murphy’s Country House, Design Indulgence, My French Country Home, You May Be Wandering, The Foodess and More

February 12, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns No Comments

Good morning! How are you? To my friends in the North, did you survive the storm? I hope that you did not have too much trouble traveling and clearing out all of the snow. Hopefully the storm is finished and you can relax and enjoy the weekend.

Tuesday is Valentine’s Day so there is still time to make a tasty treat, card or gift and if you do not feel like making something there are some cute gifts out there. Just remember that Valentine’s Day is one day a year, love and friendship are something to celebrate everyday and should not measured in how much you spend. 

Blender Mousse from The Foodess

Doesn’t this Chocolate mousse look fabulous? The Foodess made it this week and believe it or not it is made in a blender! I cannot wait to try it.

I made this Chocolate Cake with Fudge Filling and Chocolate Frosting and it is over-the-top fabulous. If you want to make a special dessert for your love than try this.

Chocolate Cheesecake Bars from My 25 Favorite Chocolate Desserts

If you would like a few other chocolate baking ideas, check out my 25 Favorite Chocolate Desserts.

If your Valentine does not like chocolate(shocking I know)these White Cupcake with Whipped Buttercream Fosting are delicious too.

Do you decorate on or for Valentine’s Day? If you would like a few ideas on how to decorate with balloons check out this post by Design Addict Mom.

Here are a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day finds from Williams-Sonoma.

Valentine’s Day Ceramic Measuring Spoons, Set of 4 by Williams-Sonoma

Nordic Ware Scallop Heart Bundt® Cake Pan by Nordicware

You could make a cake professing your love and measuring each ingredient with these adorable spoons.

Williams Sonoma Valentine’s Day Hearts & Letter Iced Cookies by Williams-Sonoma

Or if you don’t feel like baking you could buy these cookies.

Valentine’s Day Plates, Set of 4 by Williams-Sonoma

Then serve your tasty treats on these fun heart plates and perhaps have a cup of coffee or tea to go along with. 

Love Mugs

If you need a little Valentine tag or two for your gifts check out these tartan tags from Nora Murphy Country House.

If anyone is in the market for an apartment in Paris or a fabulous French country house check out this post from Sandy at You May Be Wandering featuring two great places for the city or country lover.

Someday I would like to downsize and I think this little house I found on Connecticut Cottage and Gardens is perfect.

Speaking of cool houses, check out this house in Colorado that Sherry Hart of Design Indulgence featured this week. It is very cool!

What do you have planned for the weekend? Whatever it is I hope that you enjoy it. As always if you discovered a great recipe, book, pod-cast, article, movie or whatever this week please share with us.

Have a great weekend.

    I agree with you Elizabeth that cottage is so charming, I clicked on the link and was surprised that it was 2000 sq feet, a lot bigger than I thought. I also loved Sherri's latest design project she's an amazing talent. Have a wonderful weekend dear!

    There are two schools of mousse: one is egg whites (raw) and the other is whipped cream. I find them both good. The secret, though, for either one is to let the mousse rest for several hours–overnight is best–which makes it even airier. In the fridge!

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

I’ve just finished dying my Easter eggs, I used the red cabbage method and they turned out beautiful!

If so please share. Have a great day! Happy Easter.
