Blueberries and Donuts



 

Last week we took Lillie blueberry picking for the first time (Lola was there too but slept through the whole picking part). One of the places we spend quite a bit of time while we are in New Hampshire each summer is at my uncle's farm. Shockingly as much time as we have spent there this is the first time we've ever picked blueberries. They were delicious!









Lola woke up as we were finishing picking the blueberries and just in time for a homemade chocolate covered donut - which turned into a chocolate covered Lola.




Lola and Lauren.

I had hoped to have some photos of the almost finished kitchen from the house my parents are building for a post today but thanks to quite a few factors I didn't have the pictures or post done. Hopefully I will in the next day or so.


I also wanted to introduce one of our new sponsors, Sylvie's Nest.


Sylvie's Nest is an online interior design resource for the NY tri state area and beyond offering design services that simplify the process while making it fun at the same time.

 Sylvie Bruschi is an Interior Designer in the NY tri-state area who specializes in but is not limited to residential design. She has a love of the traditional style where her roots are but can’t help melding different styles together to reflect our world as it is today.

 As a child spending summers in France and Germany was one of the greatest influences towards Sylvie’s artistic vision. Visiting relatives and spending many afternoons walking in the old villages and chateaux in the Loire Valley in particular, helped to create a love of architecture, art and antiques. You can read more about Sylvie here.

 Along with offering design consultations Sylvie also has a blog and sells items online as well.



I hope you all have a fabulous day!

  7. Blueberries? Donuts? Sign me up! :) I have a pic of my baby this week that looks a lot like the ones of Lola, only it's not chocolate. It's dirt. Good parenting abounds over here. :/

  14. I just came here from seeing your little Lillie dressed as an Indian on Pinterest and for a moment I seriously thought it was my little girl! They have a really similar look. (I obviously knew it wasn't since I would have remembered the photo:) such an adorable costume and I want to make it for my little 2 year old this year. I love all the other tutus. Do you make them yourself?

    1. Thanks Carissa. My mom makes them all. We used to sell them in our shop but don't currently because my parents are in the middle of a big move. As of now we don't plan on restocking them but who know...maybe we will again someday!
