Fresh Lil Herbs

Today I bought two lil fresh herb plants. Looking forward to using the garlic chives in dips and the greek oregano in some pasta sauces.

Look forward to seeing these herbs in use soon, and thanks for reading!

P.S. Here's me with the purple toes studying on the patio in the beautiful 81 degree November weather.

Sunday Breakfast With Fresh Vegetables

{Egg scramble:  fresh kale, small red and yellow tomatoes, salami, cheese, four eggs + toast with butter and jam}

{Farm fresh eggs from the farmers market.  I love the speckles on them, so beautiful}

{Add all the vegetable chopped up and four eggs into a bowl, whisk, and then pour in to a pan to cook.  Remember to keep stirring so the eggs do not burn and become fluffy}

{Enjoy the delicious Sunday breakfast with some coffee or tea}

Flower Holder

I love this glass hanging flower holder I made earlier this summer! I thought this fresh gladiola bloom looked very pretty in the holder for fall.

Campus flowers

I love relaxing after class around the open fields of my graduate schools campus. Here is a little glimpse of these tiny white flowers and deer I spotted.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Lavender Love

Lavender always holds a special place in my heart.  Growing up I had a friend across the street who had a beautiful garden.  I remember often playing in the lavender and one day we also made homemade lavender cookies.  Till this day I love the relaxing qualities of lavender. 

Here is a beautiful yet simple floral arrangement with lavender and wheat.  There is a rustic quality to the arrangement and romanticism.

Farmer's Market Fun

Today was so fun going to the farmer's market. I brought along $15 to see what I could get with that. I have found that at the tail end of the market there are great deals and bargains, due to the stands closing.

I ended up with beautiful sunflowers with stems that were my height, fresh lettuce, Oregon herb bread (which later made a fantastic PB&J!), grapes, and a course a chocolate cupcake.

It was such a treat to spend a nice Sunday morning buying fresh local produce.

Modern Patio Area

This patio area is beautiful due to the simplicity in the elements chosen.  The minimalist aspect of this modern patio area help the small space to appear larger.  I really like how they repeated using two chairs and two plants with the small little circular table.  The circular table helps to often the more rectangular shapes of the chairs, pillows, and wood flooring.  

If you have a patio area that you would like to spruce up a bit a perfect idea to start with are some connecting water proof wood flooring panels.  These add a finished feeling to the area and help create a unique space that does not look like other apartments or condo patios.  The next thing to add is a cozy sitting area, and some plants to make it feel more natural.  

 

Hope these ideas help you to make you dream patio, or inspired you!  Have a great week and thank you so much for reading.
