Weekend Meanderings and My Favorite Farm Rio Dresses

April 2, 2022 By Elizabeth 9 Comments

Weekend meanderings with Kim of Northern California Style and Juliet of Make Mine a Spritzer and my favorite Farm Rio dresses this Spring.

flatly who says you have to be busy all the time with flowers hot chocolate and a book

Good morning friends, happy Saturday to you . It’s a beautiful day, the sun is streaming in the windows and it looks like a great day for a walk to the village for fresh scones and hot chocolate. It is a little cool(40) but I am not going to complain because in the South the summer heat and humidity come early and stay until October. After that we will be finishing a few projects in the back yard and then we are meeting up with my brother and family.What are your plans for the day? Is the weather nice in your area?

Weekend Meanderings The spring wakes us, nurtures us and revitalizes us. How often does your spring come? If you are a prisoner of the calendar, it comes once a year. If you are creating authentic power, it comes frequently, or very frequently.

Weekend Meanderings

Today I am joining my friends Kim NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STYLE and Juliet MAKE MINE A SPRITZER for “Weekend Meanderings”, after you are finished here don’t forget to stop over and check out all of their finds.

weekend meanderings Half Baked Harvest Every Day: Recipes for Balanced, Flexible, Feel-Good Meals: A Cookbook

Do you follow Tieghan from Half Baked Harvest blog? Did you know that her latest cookbook Half Baked Harvest Every Day: Recipes for Balanced, Flexible, Feel-Good Meals: A Cookbook was released this week? I have her two previous books and use them all the time. I received mine yesterday and I already have at least 20 recipes bookmarked. If you aren’t familiar with Tieghan you can see more of her scrumptious recipes and photos on her blog.

With all that is going on in the world I could definitely use a little levity and I am a fan of Sandra Bullock. The Lost City looks like a funny, feel good movie that I am sure will bring a lot of laughs. Have you seen it already? What did you think? Do you have any other movie recommendations?

On that note, what are your thoughts on Bridgerton? Did you like season 2 better than season 1?

Almond Rolls

And all of the articles, recipes, finds and books that piqued my interest this past week in my Friday Favorites post including these scrumptious almond rolls.

Steve Southerland I believe in process. I believe in four seasons. I believe that winter’s tough, but spring’s coming. I believe that there’s a growing season. And I think that you realize that in life, you grow. You get better.

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend friends. Thank you for spending part of your day with me.

Let’s see what Kim and Juliet are up to this weekend!

    I am in absolute love with the Rio Dresses!!! I am hoping it is not cold and windy today like yesterday so I can get out in the garden when I get home. Happy Saturday!

    Elizabeth! Those dresses! Every last one need to make the jump to my closet. But, alas, I may have to narrow it down to one. Seriously, I see two that are just my style and perfect for summer … which feels just around the corner here in NoCa. Sorry, I know it’s cooler where you are. But perfect weather for a scone and hot chocolate in your town … which sounds like an amazing way to start the day. I’m looking forward to The Lost City and a little escape. I love Sandra too and the trailer looks funny. I just ordered Tieghan’s new cookbook, thanks for the reminder. Isn’t she amazing … not sure how she does it but glad she doesn’t. Your Easter craft/treat is really fun. My little grands moved to Texas and I’m not doing Easter baskets this year … but it might be fun to do something like this and surprise them with a package. Hope you have a great visit with your brother and an amazing weekend! xo

    Hi Elizabeth I love this post so much. I really want to try to make those favors for Easter. I love your Farm Rio dress and that was on my radar also. I just bought one for our Hawaii trip and it’s similar to yours except it’s got spaghetti straps. A similar blue and I really love their prints. They are beautifully made and really worth the costs. Like you said their statement pieces. I think everybody needs a few of those in the closet! I always love this and in the car today and will sit down with your fab Friday post later . It’s always one of the highlights of my week! Have a fun weekend with your family. xo
