snippets of my week.






















hello
just checking in,
how are you?



i might not be around here much
in the next couple weeks
i have 4 projects coming due
and i don't know where to
find the time for them.


plus,
i'm having a birthday tomorrow.

i'm looking forward to that.
well, sort of.
not sure about this getting older thing.






so don't be surprised by
sporadic posting
in the coming while.
i'll be here in spirit though.
and the button cookie tutorial
is still on the way
and a new recipe post too,
this one for my favorite a 1 bowl cake from when i was little. yum.
complete with metly cream cheese icing and all.
until then, here's a few things i've noticed:



how cute is she. love.
these pedestal plates.
this cake looks pretty great.
this photo.
and i like this shoe story. (via)



plus,
we have some new pedestal plates
of our own to share.
did i mention that already, i can't remember.
anyway, they are all different sizes,
all different woods.
all different kinds of pretty.
i can't wait to show you.



oh and the photos of the hands.
the ones with the camera
and with the little ladybug
they are celine's.
she's pretty adorable.


we sat in the park that day
we ate poached eggs and chevre
we drank warm drinks.
we caught up on things.
we saw a white squirrel
an albino,
i gasped.
having never seen one before
i was a little surprised.
he was cute though,
i've got to admit.
have you seen one?



anyway, i have to run.
my day is calling me to get started
and my coffee is getting cold.
chat soon.
xox, n.

These images are so lovely, the clarity is actually breathtaking! Have a wonderful birthday Nikole, and I hope your upcoming projects go smoothly. x Caroline

oh so lovely - the leaves all a-flame in the last shot made me gasp a little.

thosel inks are good too - i want to make the buttermilk caramel glaze cake a lot. buttermilk is such a nice word.

one more thing though Nikole - can you make your links open in another window? otherwise, one gets taken away from your site and ahead of time too. if you need help with it, i have the little bit of html you need and could happily explain all.

nath said...

Caroline said...

Happy birthday!
What kind of camera is that in the top photo? It's gorgeous.
We had an albino squirrel in residence at my college in upstate NY. He was a bit of a celebrity!

Does Saving Grace have a new store front? I remember it as much more narrow.
Looks like Celine and you had a lovely breakfast.
Love the little white squirrel. That little guy would make Farley crazy.

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
