a Hamptons vibe at the breakfast table

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

 

Don’t you feel like this summer is just flying by? 

I can hardly believe it’s already July 31st, and with the start of August tomorrow, I want to stop and savor each moment that’s left of summer.

There’s nothing better than starting off this sunny day with a hot cup of coffee and a sliced up, toasty baguette that’s all buttered up and finished off with a touch of home-made jam.

 

Sitting here, I can’t help but notice that the real eye candy on the table is this gorgeous seashell butter dish from Arthur Court Designs. Doesn't it bring just the perfect coastal charm to the breakfast room? 

But of course, this butter dish would be appropriate for any meal throughout the day, and so cute for a weekend brunch. 

 

With the addition of white hydrangeas from the garden, I feel a real Hamptons vibe going on, which is perfect because we’re headed to NY later in the week!

 

Hoping you have a great morning and remember to enjoy this lovely summer day.

two new apple recipes I love

Realistic pewter apple branches adorn both the top of the honey pot and the spoon.

One of my favorite family traditions is making homemade apple jelly. 

I’m really in love with the whole process al over again because I found the perfect Apple Honey Pot from Vagabond House to serve it in. 

It even comes with the most adorable apple embossed spoon!

 

If you’ve never had apple jelly, it’s truly a culinary delight. 

The flavor notes are subtle and almost floral, and my favorite way to eat it is on a warm croissant with a little coffee on the side.

How about kicking off this weekend with a refreshing and delicious twist on a classic cocktail: Apple Sangria! 

This recipe is actually a “mocktail”, so it can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

🍏This gorgeous Apple pitcher from Vagabond House comes to life when it’s filled with these 4 simple ingredients: Apple Juice, Lemon Juice, Orange Juice, and Sparking White Grape Juice, and then add pretty sliced fruit. 

Another simple and yummy recipe from Martha Stewart.

the prettiest garden flowers for the house

I found this quote and it really spoke to me…  

“Every bird, every tree, every flower reminds me what a blessing and privilege it is just to be alive.” — Marty Rubin.

 

Each day is a gift. Let’s start today with the renewed vigor of a new year. We get the opportunity 365 times out of the year, so let’s make it count! Let’s immerse ourselves in today.

 

Even when the sun’s not shining, and the birds aren’t singing, these precious flowers bring me so much joy!

 

Please enjoy some of my favorite floral moments from the past few months.

a very delicious and easy quiche recipe

Since March our veg garden has been producing a massive amount of Swiss chard, so I’m always looking for new ways to eat this super green.

 

One of the best recipes I’ve tried is for Rainbow Chard Quiche, a recipe from Martha Stewart. 

It’s quite tasty with the added crunch of phyllo dough pastry crust.

  

I hope you get a chance to make this recipe. It’s easier than it looks and really tastes amazing!
