Homemade & handmade. Starting my morning with the best english muffins ever!!! Not only did she make the plate, but the multi-talented Cory McCrory is also a talented baker!!! And I LOVE being a beneficiary of her baking obsession. Burp!

Had to make a quick stop at the Andersonville Farmer’s Market on my way to the studio! Beautiful food, veggies & flowers every. And just for the record… I did NOT come home with all of these yummies!!!

Looks like Matthew has pulled together some Friday night fun… hot fudge sundaes with a smattering of blueberries & walnuts!!! And the stamped purple bowls are trying their best to “hide” the fact that there is NOT enough hot fudge… am I right Kristy?!!!

You gotta love when a random package of OREOs just shows up on your Teacher’s Shelf. Sweet treats from a sweet friend & long-time student. Less cookie, more filling?… I’m in!!! Thanks Katie.

But I do think they might be mislabeled?… Family Size?… looks more like “single serving” to me!
I mean, they’re “thins” after all, right???

No scurvy here… just some large clementines in a stamped & glazed bowl. Loving the color combination of the orange & green together!

Kristy sent me a picture of her breakfast this morning… some vibrant fresh tabbouleh salad. Not my first choice for “breakfast”… un, waffles?!… but it does look pretty yummy in a fun stamped aubergine bowl. Thanks for the photo Kristy!
