Do you know about Smitten Kitchen? You probably do...it is only the BEST cooking blog on these here internets. EVERYTHING that I've made from her recipes has always been delicious. It's amazing. Well it's amazing until you find out that she tests her recipes over and over again until they are perfect...I love it! Thank you Smitten Kitchen.

Above is something I made yesterday from her blog called Strawberry Summer Cake...we served it up with some freshly whipped cream and oh man, it was delicious!

In other news, I was happy to hear that one of my etsy treasury lists made it to the front page this morning...I love it when that happens!

I like to wear scarves all year round. Sometimes around my neck, sometimes around my head, other times just tied to my purse. I just think it's the perfect accessory.

I really wanted to offer a light weight scarf for summer so I searched hard for this silk gauze. It's really lovely and so fun to dye. I made 4 different colours, all with natural dyes. The blush and purple sold out fast. I still have some of these available though, it has a coral colour with pinks and grey.

Below is a greeny yellow colour. I know that this is sometimes a difficult colour to wear, it really looks good on the dark haired gals.

Do you wear scarves in the summer? Or is this just a west coast thing (In Vancouver, we really haven't had much of a summer yet)?

Wow it's  been a while...does anyone even visit here anymore? According to analytics you do...my apologies for not updating lately. In my defense, I have had a lot going on.

One of the things I've been up to is...I got married! I had a super romantic wedding and married an awesome man. I feel really lucky.

Now that things are starting to settle down, I'm going to get back to work full blast. I have some new ideas that I've been working out and can't wait to make it happen. Basically it will be a new collection of wovens and other textile delights for Fall. In the meantime, I still have some Spring/Summer things available through my etsy shop so please visit and take a look.

And lastly, thank you lovely readers for continuing to visit. I will try my hardest to actually make it worth your while.
