I’ve been admiring a bunch of pieces that Monika at Favor Jewelry has been making. I’ve purchased a few of her pieces as gifts for loved ones, but I’d really like to get a couple pieces for myself! I go back and forth, but I think my favorites right now are all the perfect stacking rings, the sweet scribble necklace and the geo hoops. I also love that Monika only uses metal from reclaimed sources. And her prices are amazing! More HERE.

Here are some beauties from Small Spells Ceramics by Brooklyn maker, Rachel Howe. We all know I love a clever little moonchild item, so my eyes are on the lovely crescent moon cups. My birthday is next week–maybe I will get myself a special prize! Also, since I am now, miraculously, not killing every plant that comes into my home–I love all Rachel’s amazing planters. That could become such an addictive collection! More from Small Spells HERE.

I adore so many things in this sweet shop, La Maison du Pompon. I’m especially enamored with the porcelain Picardie glassware style espresso cups, all the pretty pieces with golden stars and the amazing tea towels that were illustrated by Joanna Concejo. More HERE.

Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? I am going to be zipping around like crazy trying to run errands, do a bunch of work and buy a few new clothing items in anticipation of going on a little vacation for part of next week. I can already tell it is going to be one of those collapse at the finish line sort of debacles. At least there is a pool and some cocktails at the finish line!! Oh, sweet mercy. I need it. BAD.

I’ve been meaning to post about Mimi Thorisson’s beautiful recipe blog, Manger, for a long time. Mimi and her husband, Oddur, their beautiful children and many, many sweet dogs all live in Médoc, France. I must admit that I’m envious of almost every visible aspect of their life. I become so mesmerized and relaxed looking through all of Mimi’s recipes and Oddur Thorisson’s stunning photographs–the imperfect perfection, the adorable little ones running around the countryside in wellies, bicycling to the neighbors’ house down a dirt road to forage for mushrooms and all those dogs! Such a dream.

I’m certain these beautiful recipes and photos are a lot more work and preparation than they seem though. I love this video of Mimi cooking an apple tart at home and this one of Oddur. I need to stop daydreaming and actually try my hand at some of Mimi’s wonderful recipes. Here are some of my favorites, including links to each recipe–more HERE.

Plum + Fig Meringue Pie

Chocolate Swirl Meringues

Old-fashioned Chocolate Mousse with Salted Caramel Chunks

Lemon Meringue Cake

Persian Love Cake

Garden Cake

Joséphine Ruffle Cake

Baba Au Rhum

Madeleines with Licorice Custard Cream Sauce

Strawberry Rhubarb Trifle

Passionfruit Chocolate Truffles

Pumpkin Gnocchi with Saint-Nectaire Sauce

Spring Ratatouille with Breadcrumbed Egg
