Happy Monday all! I’m salivating over these lovely coasters from anthro. I love the bold colors in different hues – perfect for creating you own unique coaster combination. My favorite is the red and white coaster pictured below.
Which coaster is your fave?

I love this photo I snapped at the Little Italy Mercato. The colors are so vibrant. I love making my own DIY bouquets.

Kellen made this bread on Sunday using the spent grain from his latest homebrew batch with supplies from The Homebrewer. I loved the idea of repurposing the grain to make this yummy and hearty bread.

Had a wonderful time with our friends Addi & Reza who hosted a gourmet cupcake party on Saturday night! We sampled cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery in NYC (you can order online), Sprinkles Cupcakes (they have vegan and gluten-free options) and some yummy treats from Gold Bely (gourmet treats from around the world) The verdict, I loved the moistness of the cupcake from Magnolia, but the frosting from Sprinkles takes the prize. Kudos to hostess with the mostess Addi who came up with this creative, party idea!
