Five Things

March 1st, 2013

red velvet ding dong

{New favorite treat: fancy red velvet ding-dongs from Essential Chocolate Desserts}

This year is going by so quickly that I find myself floored at the beginning of each new month. And yet March couldn’t have come soon enough. I’m so excited for the time change – just that extra bit of daylight makes the biggest difference in how I spend my evenings (ie not always curled up on the couch). But tonight we’re making an exception to see live comedy with friends and the rest of the weekend will be spent outdoors, since warm weather should always be celebrated appropriately. Here are a few of the things currently making me happy.

palm fronds

{I love the look of individual palm fronds in simple white vases}

gold belt

{My three-month-long search for a thin gold belt finally paid off}

max wanger

{The cutest flash drive with the rest of our wedding pictures from Max}

kumquat

{Kumquats are now in season – aka my favorite addition to a gin cocktails}

    I love kumquats! In Japan we call them “kinkan” and right now they’re in season so I eat them a lot. Great idea to mix them up in a cocktail!

    The little dessert is so adorable! Looks totally yummy, I wouldn’t be able to handle myself with just one. The palm branch is also very lovely looking in the white vase.
