Newest Endeavor

I've been a busy, busy bee this week because...

I'm selling at our Farmers' Market!

My booth:

LOVELYgoods

baked goods for you and your pooch

Menu for Friday, July 15th:

Cranberry Chai Granola
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Granola
Milk Chocolate Chippers
Snickerdoodles
Lemon-Lime Basil Shortbreads
Cheesy Beef Doggie Bites

I can't wait to take some pictures and share how tomorrow goes! I've got a super cute booth design up my sleeve: loads of vintage and soft, pretty colours. I think designing the tablescape was my favourite part! A little hint: I caved and bought an antique orange crate. You'll die.

AND... I think the recipes that I've chosen for tomorrow will be a big hit. Using top quality ingredients is what can really set you apart from a local shortening-loving bakery. It's the first market day of the season, so it's hard to tell how much traffic will be going through, so I hope that I made enough/not too much product. We'll see tomorrow night!

Happy Thursday!

I'm Lovin' It

Summertime faves:

Lunch dates on outdoor patios

High-waisted skirts that flare out

Strappy gladiator flats. Pleather, baby.

New hot-weather nailpolish: coral, gold, pewter

Farmers' markets
Tent meetings with lap blankets
Daytime trips with Mom
Sunshine
S'mores - microwave, campfire, no difference :)

Summer work wardrobe: tank, cardigan, denim bottom, statement necklace. Done.

Metal water bottles that don't taste metallic

(P.S. Not my favourite summertime thing? Blogger being stupid and not letting me upload photos properly. Sorry for the lack of pics!)

What are you current summer faves?

Happy Tuesday!

Me Likey

Here are a few things that I'm totally digging this week:

I caved today. Blame Ashley. I'm lovin' Pinterest.

Enough procrastinating - it's time for me to make my own detergent.

This lady's Inspiration Sundays are always spot on.

I'd love to have the guts to pull this off.

Can I have this dress? Pretty please? 

Can't go wrong with a pop of yellow.

How about you? Any favourites?

Happy Thursday!

Summer Lovin'

Those bold summer dalia blooms are killing me! The colours are just beyond.

Okay, I don't know about you, but my summer is off to a busy-bee start. Daniel and I have both been working steady, so we're a bit like strangers in the night. I am off for the next two days, and man, am I going to enjoy it. 

My workplace is organizing a farmers' market that is scheduled to begin next Friday, July 15th. It's been a little hectic with the planning, contacting, advertising, and meetings. What, pray ask, am I going to do tomorrow on my day off? Why, go to a local farmers' market, of course! I seem to be working on just about every day that has a market nearby (there are markets within one hour of here on Wednesday, (soon-to-be Fridays), Saturdays and Sundays. My mom and I are going thrifting in the morning, followed by a little market rendezvous, and meeting Daniel for lunch at a cute little cafe.

Slowly this blog is going to be a more exciting place again: surely you want to see more than flowers and gardens. Speaking of gardens, we finished planting all of ours on Saturday! So maybe a few garden updates now and then... :)

I'm sure that you have already noticed, but I'll make it official. I've decided to blog twice/three times a week for July and August. There's too much work and fun to be had to be stuck to a computer. Without the pressure of blogging five times a week, I can be more creative with my posts... which I'm sure will please you as my readers.

I hope that your week is going swimmingly... go swimming!

Happy Tuesday!
