happy weekend

i hope everyone enjoys their saturdays and sundays. any plans? i am pretty sure we have mac n' cheese and the oscars on the agenda. but other than that ...

we might play with some balloons because i have been seeing them EVERYWHERE and kinda like the way they look in pictures. (image above found here)

i might also die over this dress and these boots.

a new book club has sparked my interest.

we could use a few of these for our upstairs porch (couldn't everyone???)

and i just found this site thanks to meg. and why didn't i know about it before?? i have no idea.

have a lovely weekend my dears.

mas and i are spending the weekend completing the second course (out of three) for our sailing certification program. woohoo. i do kinda wish that the weather was a bit on the warmer side as the ocean isn't as forgiving as the land ... but it being february and all, i won't complain.

happy days to all of you and i will see you monday. a few click worthy links below.

i lego n.y.

followed by a new blog discovery

then some pretty fantastic valentines

and the pursuit of happiness

finally, wow.

it is friday and i have nothing on the agenda for the whole weekend

in case you are in the same boat here are a few things i found this week but didn't happen to post about. enjoy.

{frances and i went on a hike this morning. it was kinda rainy, my glasses spotted up almost entirely and my shoes are still caked in mud. but it was certainly beautiful to see the fog in the hills}

some pretty exciting news about a loved one we all thought we lost.

a postcard that i kind of want, right now.

a fancy and oh so sweet wedding invite.

a recycled wedding dress.

and finally a recipe we tried the other night and might i say that it worked out quite well. (and if you promise to keep it a secret i will tell you that i substituted regular chorizo with soy chorizo and hot damn was it good ... and kinda nice for the vegetarian contingent)
