Blinks + Weekend Jaunting

It's that time again...enjoy this week's blinks:

I am really enjoying the new-to-me blog Le Portillon, penned by Madelene, a young Swedish woman living in Paris

First item on my summer essentials list? The Zoku Quick Pop Maker from Williams-Sonoma. (discovered on A Piece of Toast)

 The perfect wedding tablescape? I think so. (spotted on Snippet & Ink)

Have you been following along with Abbey's "20 in 20" project? 20 handmade projects in 20 days. I am especially fond of these geometric blocks


A recipe for frozen banana bites. You're welcome

 ...Because it wouldn't be blinks without beautiful flowers (by Chelsea Fuss of Frolic! blog)

Love these shots from the Goat Milk Lookbook (via All the Mountains)

 Obsessing over Yolanda Sanchez's stunning work (spotted on Black Eiffel)

A good reminder from mnmlist

These vintage Russian matchbooks are super cool. I'm currently picturing them blown up and adorning the walls of my future child's bedroom. (spotted on The House That Lars Built)

Feeling jovial today. This week zoomed by in what felt like a blink of an eye, but, it was good to me. And now it's the weekend, so no complaints. Tiho and I are packing up and shipping out for a little weekend jaunt to the coastal town of Westport, CT with my mom and sister. My mama is the type of woman who likes to plan mini trips a few times a year to reclaim and sustain inner peace. I love her for it and can't wait to do just that.

Have a superb weekend, my friends. 'Til Monday...high five!

    Those ice pops look too good and pretty... And yes, in my dream world, that would be my wedding place setting.
    Have a lovely weekend!

    Ice pops and banana bites-you know just what I'm in the mood for. Only a little embarrassed that it's still morning.

    Have a wonderful getaway-can't wait to see your wrap up Monday morning!

    Oh! I have a Zoku, best thing EVER.
    Seriously, treat yourself to one, and then stick it in the fridge. In the mood for a popsicle? Take it out, put in juice, wait ten minutes, TADA!

    Kayla, I'm back, but only to say that Le Portillon is AMAZING! I can't believe how good her photographs are. So simple too.

    Great taste on your part! Thank you!
