A Nice Day for a Picnic...

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend! A beautiful day to packing up a blanket for a picnic in the park, I would love to make these pickled grapes crostinis...one small thing, it's Monday - time for a busy work week ahead. But I can still daydream;) {quiet time, sunday suppers}

Surf Love...

I am dreaming of beachy sand, salty air and lazing on a surf board this summer. Where to? Maybe Montauk and Newport! {images via pinterest}

Black + White Photography Hunt...

I am on the look out for great (and affordable) black and white photography. I love the walls filled with family photos, landscapes and stills. Any ideas on where I can find? {images via simply seleta, a well traveled woman}

Love Cheryl Maeder's blurry beach photographs I found on Gardenhouse.

NYC Photos...

Go check out High Gloss Blue today, she posted some lovely pics of NYC. I just love this one overlooking the harbor, a few inches of snow, a glow in the sky and hanging lanterns. Meanwhile, have a I told you I am hopping on a flight tomorrow morning to Park City? Straight to the mountain to ski! Hooray. I am sharing a house with 10 friends from NYC and there 5 other houses of people from Chicago and California, all friends of friends. We are going to take in some films, ski, cook and laze.

What a Week...

Do you ever have those weeks at work where you are so busy you begin to lose your voice and it feels like 3 weeks rolled into one? Well, I'm off tomorrow and thrilled to have a mini-break. I'll be celebrating my birthday this weekend with friends and family. And on my actual birthday (Monday) I get to celebrate with the Rue Magazine girls in NYC for their launch. I'm sneaking in a little rest here and there so I am fresh for next week's busy schedule of travel and meetings. This spot above, Cape Grace, a beautiful hotel on the tip of South Africa, looks like exactly the kind of destination that would lend itself to spoiling and relaxation for the weekend. Sign me up! {image via Pink to Green}
