still loving summer...

i am a lucky girl.

there were so many amazing things today at the farmer's market. i can't wait to make a salad with the onions and arugula. and aren't these strawberries the cutest things you have ever seen?

and i was so lucky to come home today to these amazing edible magazines from my favorite vermontian {is this even a word?}. she is so sweet and thoughtful.

i cannot stop listening to this band. so good.

a simple recipe.

easy summer pasta:
prepare any pasta of your liking according to package directions, substituting chicken or vegetable broth for water. i usually use whole wheat.

toss with olive oil and your favorite veggies {this time i used roasted asparagus, spinach, and mushrooms}. while still warm, top with feta cheese, parmesan cheese, or any cheese you like. top with fresh cracked pepper. delicious.

take a look at the lovely and interesting work of robert and shana parkeharrison.

good times.

a few things making me happy lately:

+ i came home today to a package full of goodies in the mail. the summer prints i ordered from target arrived. i guess you can tell what my favorite color is lately.

i have become one of those people who orders online. if i want something from target, it is basically my only option. the target in brooklyn restocks about once a month and it is always a disaster zone.

+ i have made a lot of progress on this. hopefully i'll be done this week.

+ i have been inspired lately and am working on something new for the shop.

what's making you happy lately?

ah...summer.
