An Adventure with Miss Fickle

I am in LOVE with Shannon LeVart's jewelry and handmade components. When I grow up, I want to be just like her.

I've been dreaming of getting my jewelry in boutiques and shops and such. Shannon guides us through her process.

You MUST read it. It makes me want to drop everything and focus on this. It promises to be a fantastic series!

NOTE: That image is from Shannon's post. That is HER lovely work. Not mine. :)

Happiness in My Mouth: Macarons

When someone says the word "macaron," images of super sweet coconutty cookies (sometimes, and usually so very preferably, dipped in chocolate), spelled with a double 'o,' come to mind. Yesterday, I got to try the single 'o' variety. HEAVEN. My sister-in-law raved about them when she and my brother went to Seattle so, naturally, when the BF and I saw them in a tiny French bakery, I HAD to try them.

Yummy. Not too sweet. Perfect with a cup of tea (though I ate mine plain). Pistachio is my favorite. Next time, I want to see if they have almond... that's my favorite kind of gelato so it stands to reason that I will LOVE almond macarons.

Side-note: I am absolutely head-over-heels for this ring on Lorena Angulo's blog. Want very badly to commission her to make one for me...
