today we stopped by a french cafe in savannah called Papillote to get some macarons. we were running all over doing errands and grocery shopping(which i do not love to do) and the delicious macarons gave me the will to make it through. plus then at the grocery store, the produce man gave us samples of this grapefruit/orange mixed thing called ugly fruit, and it was very delicious and juicy. so the grocery store is not all bad..i suppose.

and i will be going back to get more rons soon. i tried lavender with apricot filling, lemon custard, white chocolate raspberry ganache, and pistachio.yum. my other plans are to practice up on making them at home, because i'm hoping to sell some at the farmers market again this summer.

winter walk

today we went on a walk around our new neighborhood. and it was cool enough out to wear the blue furry coat i got over christmas at my favorite thrift store in mn. it has a peter pan collar, gold buttons, and even only smells a little bit like an attic!

picture an hour

i love picture an hour posts! and i finally remembered to try it out on saturday. it was a staying home and working on orders kind of day, and it was fun to have the assignment of taking a picture every hour. next time i want to try an out-and-about picture an hour day too.
