Bits & bites.

This week has been filled with ups and downs, but thankfully, the ups have outweighed the downs and I am arriving at the weekend feeling quite inspired and on top of things. Last night I spent 2 hours baking with some friends for a charity bake sale tonight, and it was so fun to see that I actually had a decent amount of kitchen supplies to host the little baking soiree! I have loved building up my collection of pretty cooking items and I can't wait to continue it! Here are some of the other highlights of my week.

1. Beautiful blooms for the week that I got for only $5! One of my favorite ways to spend my money -- brightens the whole room up. 

2. How to make a pizza pop into a proper meal? Add some fruit, decent, and a pretty patterned napkin. 

3. Tea in a individual sized pot and cup to drink while I worked the other day. The teapot was a gift from my boyfriend for our first Christmas together :)

4. A simple fruit salad with just bananas and apples made for a delicious snack when I was at my mom's last weekend. 

5. The most gorgeous house I have seen in a long time. Isn't that yellow door amazing? You can't really see it in the photo (didn't want to creep up on this house too closely) but there is a lovely little chandelier hanging on the porch! Such a great spin on the usual porch light. 

6. My new bracelet that just arrived from Jess LC yesterday! I was so thrilled to receive it because I had made a mistake with my shipping information and wasn't sure if I would get to wear it at all! Such an exciting relief :)

7. This funny little pretend house was in from of a real house that I saw last weekend. There were all sorts of ornaments on the lawn and I was a little bit nervous getting too close, hence the awkward stance and smile!

8. A super yummy and easy meal that I made last night for dinner. Recipe to come next week!
