Of morning walks

Leeks from my morning walk through union square

Fashion/style:

I'm excited to peruse the summer issue of Souvenir magazine. This is one of those lifestyle e-zines that you have to purchase, but you can see a preview here.

You could win a vodka gift basket from Texas-based Dripping Springs Vodka at A Subtle Revelry today. You can bet I entered that one pronto.

Interior design:


There is a Cup of Jo giveaway from the beautiful home and garden shop Terrain today! Enter to win a $200 gift certificate to spend at their store. You only have until Thursday to enter. (This is boring, but I'd probably use it to buy up a whole collection of Weck canning supplies. I just can't get enough of that jar shape.)

Have you guys seen the new West Elm collection of South Africa inspired designs? They seem to be working with a lot of South African designers and the results are these truly gorgeous pieces.


Food:

Peaches? Cream? French toast? The makings of a perfect weekend morning (and afternoon and evening). Check out the yummy looking recipe for Peaches and Cream Stuffed French Toast from the sisters at A Beautiful Mess today.

The lovely and talented Aran of Cannelle et Vanille is coming to New York! She's hosting a food styling workshop and dinner at the Sunday Suppers studio in October. The dinner will have a menu right out of her new book (out this fall). This event is going to sell out in a flash and I for one will be trying to get a ticket when they go on sale Thursday morning on the Sunday Suppers website. 

If I win those Weck jars in the Terrain giveaway mentioned above, you can bet I'll be filling them with this Rhubarb, Raspberry, and Cardamom Jam from Spoon Fork Bacon.

And that's it for today, see you here tomorrow.
