Simple Saturday

For some people, a simple life seems like a death sentence.  I used to yearn and hope for an exciting life, but things have changed.  This isn't to say that I have lost my wanderlust and itch to get outside and do things...but I also feel happy and fulfilled surrounding myself with people I love, who make me laugh, and filling my days with small things: baking, walks in my neighborhood, and talking photos.  This is how I spent today, with a spontaneous visit from my lovely friend Franci.  We gorged ourselves!  It was a quiet and beautiful Saturday and I'm feeling very blessed. (also, isn't my neighborhood lovely?)

I adore the sound of a tea kettle whistling

peanut butter buttercream frosting that will change your life

quite an appropriate apron for the day

peanut butter + honey cupcakes

lobster mac n' cheese + clam chowder

I adore this cafe, everything is scrumptious

Franci looks tiny under the Levitated Mass!
