Friday Favorites Kitchen Sanctuary, Betsey’s Life, Shutter Bean, Camille Styles and More

Good morning and a very happy Friday to you. I am so looking forward to a warm summer weekend where I can bask in the sun while sitting on the beach with my feet in the sand or in the ocean while reading my new favorite book. What are your plans?

This weekend is Father’s Day, do you have plans to celebrate with your dad? I will unfortunately not be celebrating with my dad this year but I will when I see him in a few weeks.

If I was going to be with my dad I would be making this scrumptious looking Pulled Beef Brisket from Kitchen Sanctuary.

Or these Beer Cheese Burgers with Crispy Onions from Betsy Life. 

I would be serving this Bourbon Sage Cooler cocktail. 

And for dessert, my dad loves brownies. I have sent him a few of the brownies that I have made and my dad has stated that he likes plain, fudgy brownies and no frosting or glaze, these Baked Brownies are his favorite. And these Truffle Brownies are a close second.

If you are looking for 10 Unique Father’s Day Gifts check out this post from Camille Stylies.

This Pamplona Bag from Moore & Giles is a great gift as well. 

If you would like something a little less expensive but is still very cool perhaps a set of cow hide coasters or a dresser tray from Dunstan & Moles to hold you keys, loose change, etc.

Last week I shared 15 Books on My Summer Reading List, if you have already read through those and need a few more check out this Summer Reading List from Camille Style. 

And if you still need a few more then this post by Taylor Bradford has additional suggestions. 

And last but not least The New York Time list of 73 Books to Enjoy This Summer.

That’s it for this week, as always I hope that you share with us any books, podcasts, movies, recipes, articles or whatever else you found interesting. 

Have a wonderful and relaxing 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

“Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Mirand “Chocolate is health food for the soul”~Miranda Gray.

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
