Baby Geese

Last night we walked to the pond near our house to see baby geese we drove by earlier. Eric gave them some bread while I took photographs. They were so cute and fuzzy!

Mini Apple Crisp

One of my favorite desserts is apple crisp. The other night I made homemade applesauce, another one of my favorites, and decided to use part of it to make mini apple crisps. I also love anything miniature :)

Here is the recipe created with recipes from all recipes and cooks.com.

applesauce
4 apples peeled, cored, and chopped
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar (feel free to use less)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
combine ingredients in a saucepan and cover
cook for 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat.

crisp topping
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
mix together until crumbly

fill two ramekins with homemade applesauce and sprinkle with crisp topping
bake in oven at 375 for about 20 minutes

North Carolina State Flea Market

On Sunday we went to the North Carolina State Flea Market. The weather was so nice outside and there were so many cool things to see. Here are some of my favorite things that I wish I could have taken home with me :)

The Weekend {May 22-25}

This weekend one of our friends came to visit us from Atlanta. We were both friends with him in college before Eric and I knew each other. Here are some moments from our weekend :)

Inspired By Wisteria

Ever since I discovered Wisteria through Anne from the City Sage I dream about all the things I would love to order when I get their catalog in the mail. When I saw their shadowboxed shells I was inspired to try and make my own version :)

{my version}

I used a shadowbox frame that was originally given to me for the tassel from my college graduation. I covered the back piece of the frame with a piece of white cardstock. Then I picked a few shells from my seashell collection and adhered them to the cardstock with small pieces of foam tape. I can't wait to hang it up!

Catalogs Wishlist

I would say my style is beachy, casual, and simple. I love this time of year when stores are filled with items inspired by summer. Here are some of my favorites from the most recent catalogs :)
