memorial day weekend

last weekend we went to the farmers market, where we tried not to melt in the heat and got some really good cherry tomatoes.

 i wore my latest finished dress.

 made a caprese with avacado salad,


and baked some cookies from my back in the day bakery cookbook. they are the best ever.

    I love that dress! Where do you get your patterns? I've been trying to find a simple all-wear dress pattern, but I'm having trouble. Help?

    I made that salad for D's birthday cook out on sunday. but I used yellow cherry tomatoes instead. they were sweeter and it was really tasty.
