Friday Favorites

November 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Another week gone by and I still find myself wandering to new parts of Tucson, discovering a hidden corner I want to meet. I’ve slowly begun the decorating process in our apartment, the first order of business…count the seconds until my new bed comes, so that I can really do some work in my own room.

The holiday season is among us, and it’s the happiest time of year, not to mention my favorite! I have to admit it almost doesn’t phase me that Thanksgiving is just right around the corner. I blame the scorching heat…I wonder do people who have always lived in warm weather get into the holiday spirit too? It’s easy to be cheery when you’re bundled in puffy coats and shoveling snow, but what about when you’re donning flip-flops and washing the dust off your car…hmmm it just means I’ll have to do my part to bring the East Coast seasonal time with me. Not only can I not wait to decorate, but this is serious baking time and I’ve been trying to decide on quick, hassle-free desserts to make for Thanksgiving since I’ll be getting into New Jersey pretty late the night before. I also can’t wait to experiment with some new cookie recipes for the The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, which raises money for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!

I couldn’t get enough of these delicious macaroons! Frogs Organic Bakery is probably by far one of my favorites. I mean you can’t expect anything less from 5 star French pastry chef, Jean-Luc Labat.

There comes a time when you need to take a break, enjoy a homemade Italian espresso and a Pistachio macaroon.

I still can’t get enough of the scenery. The Catalina Foothills are on my list of mountains and trails I want to hike.

There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of soup. When you have that urge for something warm, and you happen to have an onion, garlic, some carrots, celery, tomatoes, and other vegetables then you can do no wrong on a Sunday afternoon but to sit back and relax.

There are plenty of antique cars in the area, so happen to have this one parked next to me.

Arizona is known for its discolored terracotta pots, endless palm trees and of course their distinct cacti and shining sun…

Dreamery Headshot_2020

A Lover of Nature & Kindness, constantly smitten by the simple pleasures of life. Travel fills my soul with bliss & inspiration. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing. I love the outdoors & live for al fresco dinner parties, cozy candlelit romantic affairs with warm fires & blankets to share.

I dream about these things, it’s true. Yes, it’s all the small details in life that drive me & everything I do because we all deserve to celebrate every special moment in our lives…

tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
Wishing @vanessa_elizete & Al a very happy anniver Wishing @vanessa_elizete & Al a very happy anniversary🤍my how time has flown, here’s to many more celebrations of love…
