Friday Favorites from Chairish, Bon Appetit, The Sweetest Occasion and More

August 5, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 1 Comment

Good morning! I hope that you had a great week. I have had a busy and tiring week. I mentioned a few days ago that I do Vinyasa hot yoga 5 x’ s a week. This month I decided to challenge myself to taking 2 classes for 2 hours a day for the month of August, it goes without saying that I am a little tired. Thankfully I have the weekend to recuperate and get ready for Monday.

I discovered a beautiful shop this week called Ohkii Studio founded by Angela McKay, a textile designer and illustrator. You can purchase her prints, scarves and original art. You can also follow her on Instagram.

For those of you that love interior design you might find this post 10 Trends with Nate Berkus: Love it or Hate it interesting. The panel of bloggers, Instagram stars and interior designers votes along with Nate about current trends. Two of my favorites, Paloma Contreras from La Dolce Vita Blog and Danielle Rollins are on the panel as well. 

Image Bon Appetit

I have been a fan of Ina Garten forever, and I really enjoyed this article from Bon Appetit about her. 

Image Cotter & Crunch

I love burgers and although eat them with meat on them I am always open to trying new burger recipes. This week I discovered these Grilled Moroccan Chickpea Burgers from Cotter & Crunch, Don’t they look delicious?

Grilled cheese sandwiches are another of my favorite food groups. These 18 Grilled Cheese Recipes That Prove Perfection Does Exist will have your mouth watering and you itching to get off work so that you can get one on the stove for dinner tonight. 

The Sweetest Occasion

Rose cocktails are all over this summer, this one for Summery Rose Spritzers from The Sweetest Occasions is one of my favorites. It’s light, fruity and refreshing. 

If you missed my Mediterranean Pasta Salad you should definitely try it. This recipe is so easy and it is fresh and delicious. 

Summer is fast coming to an end but before it does make sure to indulge in one or more of these over the top delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores.

Image Pillow Grace

Discovered this company, Pillow Grace this week. I think I am going to get a few gifts from here for Christmas. 

That is it for this week. Did you find any interesting recipes, movies, articles, books or something else to share? If so please do. 

Have a great weekend.

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart! Have a great day! #heart #hearthealth #vintagestyle #love #heartshaped #scrabbletiles #handmade #handcarved

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
