a few things discovered that are making me happy:
Do you like Pinkberry? I will always opt for the real deal — homemade ice cream on a sugar cone — but this tangy soft-serve tastes nothing like TCBY or any other brands connected with the '90s craze for fro yo. If you like Greek yogurt (like my favorite, Fage), you'll probably love Pinkberry. At my last Trader Joe's run, I discovered a pint version of this pleasantly tangy non-fat frozen yogurt. It's that same delicious, tangy flavor. Just top with fresh raspberries, and you have your own at-home PInkberry dessert. And I have to admit, the packaging is what first caught my eye.
I stumbled upon Alli MIchelle's site after reading a comment, and her blog Hooray Design instantly sucked me in. This afternoon treat she baked looks so delicious: she filled loaf pans with leftover cookie dough and topped with ice cream. Simple and genius.
And I love this mini wreath she made as a wedding gift for a friend. So pretty!
And check out Hooray Design's just-opened Etsy shop! I tagged these camera bags as a favorite.

The photos from Pietopia made me smile — and seeing all that pie makes me want to find a pie shop this weekend. Congratulations Tricia on designing such a cool event! I love the winning prints — and here are the recipes for the winning pies. {photograph via eating is art}

Emily dreamed up a vacation to Cape Town. And I especially love what she'd pack in her bag.
And Twig & Thistle is offering this fun freebie: the template for these adorable strawberry shortcake baskets! Yes, I'm still loving a strawberry festival. {photograph via twig & thistle}
happy weekend!
