Alyssa's Week

“Do any of you use a chiropractor? I’ve been having some neck pain from all of the looking down (crafting, cooking, computer-ing).  Nothing crazy, just really uncomfortable and kind of difficult to sleep.  I went to a chiropractor a few times in the last few weeks, and it’s life-changing!  I definitely feel better, and I’m think I’m addicted.” 

*Definitely pop over to Adventures in Cooking to see this gorgeous post about Eva’s trip to central Thailand.  There are a gazillion beautiful photos and a delicious-looking recipe for coconut milk custard.  I’m ready to head back to Thailand!

*Everything on this flatbread sounds amazing.  Every. Thing. 

*Oh my goodness, in the days of everything being digital I love this recipe binder.  The design is lovely and the letterpress elements are just divine.

Carla's Week

Carla's Weekly Love Letter for 6.27.14

“Time for car advice!  Now that I’ll be driving to work at least part of the time, I’m on the hunt for something smaller and less gas-guzzling than my awesome (but HEAVY) Volvo SUV.  I’ve been into a Prius for years, but hear plenty of stories about expensive batteries.  Anyone have any input- particularly for someone who really does want to choose a more sustainable option?

P.S. I’m pretty sure I had one of the best views around of the US v Germany World Cup game this week.  Go, new office!” 

* Speaking of the World Cup, check out these photos from The Big Picture showcasing World Cup goals. 

*Watermelon Sticks!  (Who knew?!)

*This gift wrap idea is billed as a Christmas concept, but I think it definitely works for any present, any time!  It’s also a great starting point for any other cute animals: foxes!  bunnies!  etc.
