JuliesAtelier

I am totally inspired by my college friend Julie.  She's picked up pottery making.  She's made some really neat stuff.  She went to Haystack School of Crafts in Maine to learn.  I really want to go there.  Maybe I could learn to be a blacksmith.

I totally love these for coffee creamers or caramel sauce to finish off a dessert.

A totally rad teapot.

And a lidded cookie jar that looks good enough to eat.

Sunday morning

I love Sunday mornings.

I just took this picture above and thought it was very fitting since it incorporates a delicious breakfast and my cooktop looks like a sun.

I love to watch CBS's Sunday Morning on Sunday mornings while reading the paper and drinking coffee with cream.  {My coffee these days is decaf since since my little girl feels the buzz with me when I drink caffeine}.

If you haven't watched Sunday Morning, you really should.  It's great.  It has a great style about the show and you get updated on the news, art, music, movies, great commentary and your moment of zen at the end.  It starts out with a little trumpet ditty and is hosted by Charles Osgood who always wears a cute little bow tie.  Serena Altchul, who we all remember from MTV, is a correspondent for the show too.  Then, after each story, but before the commercials, they show a picture of a sun.  See, that picture is perfect for this post.

If you happen to be reading this right now, go turn it on!

And, if you want to make what I made this morning, go here.  Thanks Ina.  I omitted the raisins and added fresh blueberries and sliced peaches.  Yum.

Happy morning to you!

I'm really digging all of desdeportugal's sets on polyvore.  Desde's the ultimate resort stylist.

Here are a few of the sets I thought were particularly inspiring of a last minute ticket to paradise:
