Friday Favorites from Taste of France, Taste of the South, Savor Home, Life Made Simple, Quintessence, The French Oasisi and More

March 24, 2018 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! I hope that you are well and surviving the roller coaster Spring. I heard from some friends that they have 16 inches of snow. WOW. Sadly we did not get any but we did get a lot of rain, any more and I think there may be a pond in the neighbors yard. Sadly (and I hope I do not spoil your weekend but)  the weather people said that there is still more cold and maybe snow on the way.

Lets not dwell on the bad and lets get right to the good stuff. Because it is close to Easter there has been an abundance of carrot recipes floating around the web that I thought I might try. These Carrot Cake Donuts from Taste of the South would be perfect for Easter morning. 

Image Savor the Best

Carrot cake is always welcome at my house and although I have my favorite recipe I am always open to trying new ones. This Tropical Carrot Cake from Savor Home looks delicious. 

I love the idea of Carrot Cake Scones, another great idea for Easter weekend. 

For those of you that do not like carrots this Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a delicious cake for the holiday. 

Image Life Made Simple

If you are starting to plan your Easter menu this Fruit Salad from Life Made Simple would be perfect for breakfast, lunch or brunch.

How Do You Feather Your Nest? Love this post from Taste of France. 

Quintessence Image

If you like Carolyne Roehm, designer extraordinaire, and frankly who doesn’t, you will definitely enjoy this post from Quintessence. 

Friendship is one of the most beautiful parts of life and this post from French Oasis talks about it in all forms. 

Handwritten Letters Belong to Your DNA.

You Should Date Yourself. 

Silverware Birds by Mat Wilson

Very cool Silverware Birds from Matt Wilson. 

Embroidered Insects

Beautiful Embroidered Insects from Humayrah Bint Altaf. 

Have you found, made, watched, or read anything interesting this week? If so please share with us. 

Have a happy and safe weekend.

    The silverware bird made my jaw drop! How he looked at spoons and forks and saw feathers….and found a way to get the eye just right. Amazing.
    Thank you so much for noting my rantings. Today, though, is all about French bread.
