today i want to share with you a little project that i’ll be participating in, and invite you to join in as well: dearest nature’s spring pickin’s!

dearest nature is a brand new blog from the lovely donaville of discover paper. it debuted on the first day or spring (of course!) and has absolutely blown me away with amazing content over the last few weeks. all of their posts (decor, diy, food and more!) are all inspired by nature- something very near and dear to my heart! it’s not only a stunning blog to view, but also one of the smartest layouts i’ve ever seen (click over to see what i’m talking about). so, it’s quickly becoming a daily obsession of mine, especially since nature is my ultimate inspiration. i know you’ll love it too!

what were we talking about? oh yeah, spring pickin’s! this is a project all about nature, of course! if you join in, the mission will be to capture things that nature has left in our path. it could be from a nature walk or from your own back yard- from your dslr or from your iphone. the point is to capture nature’s gifts and post them on your blog on the 19th of each month (until summer). to join in, visit dearest nature and leave a comment that you’ll be participating (this way, donnaville can include you in her monthly roundups!).

happy spring!

i was just at our honor stand yesterday afternoon (where you can find me most days) and noticed the first batch of sweet peas have arrived! i may (or may not) have popped open one of the pretties and downed the peas right there on the spot. i grew up despising canned peas, but fresh sweet peas are a whole new ball game. no more hiding them under my potatoes! when i ran across this recipe for sweet pea pancakes on kitchenist, i knew i had to share. i’ll be making these soon (vegan-izing the recipe, of course), click over to get the recipe and make them along with me!

what’s new at your farmer’s market?

do you follow irene suchocki’s photography? it is such a joy to see how her work evolves over time and with each season. if you remember the post i did about her last fall, you’ll see what i mean. in her words, she creates poems for the eyes. in my words, i believe she creates poems for our lives.

if you have a few moments, i think you truly would enjoy exploring her world.
