Google Logo

I love it when Google plays around with their logo -- today has been my favorite by far. It is interactive and in honor of Les Paul. You can even record a little strum. What an awesome tribute, go Google!

Popups by Daisy Lew

These pop-ups of New York by Daisy Lew are outrageously cool.

From Sea to Shining Sea...

The new silkscreened American flags map from These Are Things is really rad. Those fun colors, patterns and cute flags... just looking at it makes me want to plan a road trip! The European touring maps are something I've had on my wish list too. Ah maps, why do you get me every. single. time.

Betty & June designed by Ryan Feerer

The branding and packaging for Betty & June boutique in Abilene, Texas designed by Ryan Feerer has such a great vibe to it. It feels modernly fresh yet has a charming handmade quality.

Natural Chic

I am a bit behind on going through my magazine stack, but I dig Keri Russell's home as shown in Elle Decor. The combo of wood, metal and neutrals are lovely and it feels rather French to me. Love it, what do you think?

Our new favorite pancakes

Over the weekend we made these pancakes from 101 cookbooks a favorite go-to site for yummy healthy recipes and this recipe sparred with our other favorite healthy pancake recipe and came out victorious. They were fluffy, tasty, and somewhat healthy as far as pancakes go. If you like blueberries, the syrup is delicious too!

The secret I think is the white whole wheat flour. I love that stuff, because you get all of the nutritional benefits yet it isn't as heavy as the normal stuff. Speaking of flour, other ones I like are whole wheat pastry flour, and buckwheat flour and I haven't tried it yet, but I have some whole wheat spelt flour in my pantry.

Have you tried a variety of different flours? What is your favorite? Oh and do you have a favorite pancake recipe? I'm all ears....

A thing for stripes

One of the many things that pinterest has taught me is that I have a slight ... wait, major thing for stripes (well, and also polka dots). I find myself drawn to them again and again, I have for quite a long time. Today I'm feeling extra stripey. What about you, anything you find yourself repeatedly drawn to even if it is in style or not?

Beauty in Nature

These works of art in nature from the environmental artist Stuart Frost are remarkable. Can you believe seagull feathers make up that first work?

Also, I can't remember where I first came across this amazing video clip about nature below, but it pretty much knocked my socks off, maybe even made my eyes water a smidge. I am in constant awe at the mysteries and wonders of nature!

This clip is stunning too! I hope you will have an extraordinary weekend, we hope to get out in nature and go on a long bike ride!
