Espresso Du Jour

It's nice to have a Krups machine at home for those mornings when I crave an espresso or latte but have no desire or time to hit the local coffee spot.  Also, it saves on the pocketbook!  I use illy coffee which is, in my opinion, the best.

Anthropologie Find

Love, love these Good Nature Tin candles found at Anthropologie!  Natural soy with summer scents such as Pomelo & Sea Salt (lemon, mint and sugar cane with hints of orange and pomelo).  They make wonderful gifts, too.  It's like bringing the outdoors into your kitchen.

For a Friend

Today, I am sending along this little gem of a card to a dearest friend whom I greatly miss sharing a cupcake and coffee with.  The message inside says, "Let's have coffee soon," along with Proverbs 27:9.  I have found myself collecting these lovely cards by Karen Kingsbury for Dayspring.  Each card has a vintage chic style with just the right words.  I absolutely love these cards!

Girl's Night Out(doors)

Here's a fun summer girl's night idea - host a movie night featuring the award-winning Junebug.  To stay with the theme, serve Junebug wine (I prefer the light, crisp Pinot Grigio).  Be sure to offer bug repellent in a cute basket to ward off those pesky mosquitoes.
