My husband’s parents are in town this weekend, and we’re taking them wine tasting tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions for low-key wineries or tasting rooms in Sonoma? We were thinking of Ram’s Gate which we’ve heard is beautiful, but I’d love to hear your recommendations! Which NorCal wineries are your favorites?

I recently went out and purchased some painting supplies (gouache and paper and cheapo brushes, nothing fancy), and am going to put them to use this weekend. Spring feels like the perfect time to pick up a hobby like painting, don’t you think? I haven’t painted since high school, so we’ll see how it goes, but mostly I’m looking for new ways to exercise creativity (simultaneously bringing a little more color into my life). What are you up to this weekend?

It’s been a week full of sisters! My little sister returned to the States after a year in France, so I got a few days with her, and now I’m in San Diego visiting my big sister. I (not-so-secretly) wish for the day when both of my sisters and I live on the same street and can hang out and have last-minute dinners together and make crafty things with my nephews. I also started reading Tina Fey’s Bossypants yesterday, which is hilarious, and I definitely recommend it if you need a good laugh. What are you up to this weekend?

(Not exactly a model marriage, but I really like this photo.)

 

It’s almost warm enough for some sweet tea.

Beautiful pansy centerpiece for Mothers Day.

Etsy engagement ring round-up, via wit + delight.

Vintage razor wrappers = inspiring design.

Beautiful blue dress in this London elopement.

New favorite dinner: chipotle sweet potato tacos. Made them twice in the last week, mmmm… via Mint.

And congratulations to Kelly Edm and Eleni, the winners of the Izola giveaway! I’ll be sending you an email about getting the gift packs to you.

 

Have a happy weekend, lovelies!


I have to confess something silly: sometimes I feel self-conscious about writing these weekend posts, because my weekend plans sound pretty boring. They usually involve hanging out with my hubby, reading, cooking, housework, going for a walk – nothing fancy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I feel like if I’m going to share it with you, I should have something exciting lined up, you know?! So, since I don’t have anything particularly note-worthy going on this weekend… what are you up to? How do you make the most of your days off?
