HOLIDAY BRUNCH FOR TWO

Yesterday, I spent my Sunday morning preparing brunch for my friend Brianna and I. Sadly I only got photos of the table and not of our outfits! We hardly have time to spend together because of the crazy schedules we have had so it was nice to relax and catch up. On the menu was bacon and spinach quiche. I used this recipe, and it turned out quite tasty! On the side, I served a little salad tossed in balsamic. We also had fruit and coffee (duh). Now that college is over and I have time, I have decided I want to cook more. It's always been something I enjoyed, but never could find the time. Now, what should I make next!?

CHRISTMAS TIME AT THE DESIGN HOUSE

As promised, here are some more pictures from my Saturday spent over in Lucketts. The Design House was having a weekend event before closing down until February! So happy I made it over there. They had the most amazing decorations that started even from the outside. I enjoyed a fresh donut and hot apple cider from a little truck that was set up in front of the store. Probably the best donut I have ever had.

I also had the chance to meet the author of Gourmet Gifts, Dinah Corley. Oh, and her adorable little dog Fanny too. Dinah signed a book for my aunt, which I will be giving to her for Christmas. I thought it would make the perfect gift! I may just have to steal it from her though; I already see so much I want to make! She was giving out little samples of butter cookies that she made, and I must say they were delicious! You can check out her website and blog here.

P.S. - There are many more photos to share with you. Lots and lots of Christmas inspiration to come!

THANKSGIVING EVE

Spent my day preparing for tomorrow! I cannot believe it's already Thanksgiving. Definitely one of the best times of the year. So excited! I painted my nails with a little bit of Turkey Day inspiration, although I could have been more patient and done a better job. Oh well. There's always next year! This candle was lit all day that my mom gifted me with, along with a cute little card. She doesn't pass up an opportunity to give gifts.. ever. We baked all afternoon as you can see! It was my first time ever making an apple pie, and I must say I impressed myself. Hopefully it will taste as good as it looks!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
