Happy Summer Solstice!

This weekend marks the beginning of summer, but it is bittersweet for me, as the hours of light will start to lessen - we have hit our high point for the year. I can't seem to get enough these days - I want to fill myself with sunlight and fresh air as much as I can, because then I feel truly loved.

Breakfast with Sweet Paul

Eat & Make by Paul Lowe is a beautiful book (and so is his magazine & blog)! I thoroughly enjoyed perusing the recipes while drinking my morning cup of coffee, and eating my homemade banana pecan scones with berry jam.
