No flowers today folks, I’ve got something yummy instead…French Macarons! These sweet treats are quite different from those coconutty macaroons, though I enjoy them too. These are light, meringe-y sandwich cookies with luscious fillings, and are nigh-impossible to find in the US.  I’ve recently discovered a local bakery that serves up authentic French Macarons in some incredible flavors – Luxe Sweets!  They ship all over the US, so you can indulge even if you’re not here in Austin. They have other yummy treats too.  I just discovered these and thought I’d share, because who doesn’t love yummy stuff!

Good Morning!, originally uploaded by katie daisy lombardo.

I love this colorful flower by katie daisy, it feels vintage country, but with a modern twist. It’s so bright and colorful! You can buy a print of it at her Etsy store, thewheatfield. Have a great day everyone!

It’s Tuesday…why does it feel like it should be Friday?? Guess that means it will be a long week!

Don’t you love the photo above? I’ve found it, and perfectbound, and so many other fantastic folks over at decor8 the past couple of weeks, as Holly has been relocating and featuring guests as part of a series called “My Favorite Things.” I love seeing other creative folks houses and getting inspiration from them! If you haven’t been reading decor8 (I know, but surely someone must exist who hasn’t found Holly yet…) go over there, right now, and enjoy the eye candy and posts!

Happy Monday everyone! The sweet vase above is from bellalulu on Etsy. Through my college years I visited Washington DC every few months to see friends and museums so this vase is a bit nostalgic for me. I’m pressed for time this morning (it is Monday, after all) so I just wanted to quickly say that everyone should head over to the fabulous When I Grow Up blog, that was featured in Psychology Today last week, for my guest post.

Happy Monday y’all!

Ann Marie was in the Blogging Your Way class I took this past spring. I met so many wonderful and talented people in that class! Ann Marie is a designer here in Austin, and she has a beautiful website you should really check out – http://www.sky-di.com/.  I love this mixed media piece she recently posted – the combination of simple shapes create such exuberant flowers, I just have to smile!  If you have a chance be sure to check out her website!
