Sweets of Summer

April 30th, 2010

It feels like summer is right around the corner and I couldn’t be happier.  I’ve been preparing for its arrival by incorporating seasonal fruit into each meal, wearing my Toms just about everywhere, eating chocolate-dipped ice cream cones, buying Gerber Daisies in cheery colors and finding the sweetest of packaging for my abundance of baked goods.

    I feel like I’m more excited for summer this year than any other I can remember. Maybe that’s because of all the rain this past winter or all the recent wind and cold weather. I heard it’s going to be 82 degrees on Monday though, so I’m looking forward to that! Your cherry biscotti wrappers are darling. Have a great weekend!

    Love the post, makes me wish that summer would come to Toronto sooner!

    What is the name of the nail polish in the first photo? It’s a lovely colour for summer.

    At first glance, the melon looks a little scary. I guess it’s a sweets and savories combo – which I love too. I like your Toms – what do you think of them? I’ve been thinking of buying a pair, but I’m not sure they’re me.

    Chocolate dipped cones are my favorite! I had my first one from an ice cream truck last summer and I’ve been hooked since then!
