I fear I am late in calling this post a weekend recap now that we're at Wednesday. How is it that the days just keep getting away from me? Anyone else feel that way? It's okay though, because I'm back at it with this post.
Ever since we came back from Paris, I've had it in my mind to beautify our front patio area. Specifically, with potted flowers. I'm hoping that with the addition of flowers, it'll give our front patio a European feel. I've been hunting for terracotta pots and these two above (1 and 11) would look so pretty out front. I've also been wanting to bring that floral vibe in our room and what better way than with these pink and green sheets.
I discovered Lucie de Moyencourt on Pinterest last week and I am obsessed with her shell ceramics. She has a product line out at Anthropologie and I'm obsessed with this platter. The shape is so unique and perfectly fits the coastal vibe that you know I'm all about, plus its blue and white!
I'm always on the hunt for sunglasses, especially during the warmer months because you can have a little more fun (I think) with the shape and color. I've been wanting to try out the oval shape for some time but haven't found a pair with the right width for my face. I'm hoping these Le Specs ones will work.
It's really no secret that I gravitate towards white dresses and tops around this time of year. They're easy, breezy and go with everything. I'm really liking the wrap style of this dress along with the embroidered sleeves. And while this top isn't what I would normally go for, I'm thinking it'll be great for those really hot days here in Annapolis.
My go-to earrings that I have been wearing with pretty much everything. Just had to share because they're so good.
Vivi and I baking some Milkbar Cinnamon Butterscotch cookies. They were so delicious! As good as they were, I think they're a more holiday cookie so we're saving these til then but oh so good!
Family walks have been such a great way to get out of the house and get fresh air while being quarantined.
This was my first time making this Chicken Tagine with Olives and Preserved Lemons dish and it was a hit. We all loved it with the exception of the preserved lemons that I had put in. Its a bit of a strong flavor note that my family doesn't like so I'll be omitting that the next time I make it. I'm also going to add some raisins the next time just to give it a bit of sweetness.
Every year since my grandmother passed away (5 years ago), my family and I get together to remember her, share memories, and look at pictures of her life. This year we had to meet virtually but that didn't stop from remembering her love for her family and what a strong and courageous woman she was.
