Weekly Features

It's been difficult for us to choose just one feature each. Your vintage finds, vignettes and just plain creativity have been awesome!

Kathleen's Pick

Do you have a favorite movie genre? I have to admit that well-made rom-coms always do it for me. Especially ones directed by Nancy Meyers, e.g., Something's Gotta Give, It's Complicated, Father of the Bride . . . . The women in these movies always seem to have it together (even when they don't!) along with having incredible style - from their wardrobes to their homes to their home decor. Nicolle from Our Tiny Nest has compiled a Nancy Meyers/coastal grandmother guide of sorts to help you have your best Nancy Meyer summer. Visit How To Live A Nancy Meyers Summer to get the details!

Cecilia's Pick

Amy from The Copper Table shared her White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies recipe--YUM--what a delicious blend of flavors! It's the perfect time of year to bake with raspberries so if you're like me and have never met a blondie you didn't like, pay our friend a visit to grab her recipe for this tasty treat!
