{8 things}

loving the yellow
meyer lemons


one} i've decided to bring back the {8 things}. it'll be on tuesdays. just like the first one. (be sure to read the list today, i've saved the best for last!)

today. the sun is shining and it's supposed to be 40 degrees. snow is melting, sidewalks are clear. this is big, people. spring is seriously on the way!

today. thinking about how much i love what christine said. such a real post. i also LOVE her new blog design. so pretty!

four} lately, i've been living vicariously through these two sisters who have moved to france. perhaps you know these blogs, but just in case you don't, i thought i'd share. one sister has moved to paris with her two little boys, and the other has moved to normandy with her six (!) enfants. i'm really enjoying their posts. thought you might too.

five} speaking of french things~ my sister, my husband and i went into boston this weekend and saw these two guys. so fun! it was great evening!

six} speaking of foodie related things, on a blizzardy day in early february i preserved some meyer lemons. idea and recipe here. so easy and delicious! the lemons were finally ready to eat last week, and it was worth the wait! so far i've layered them on baguette with olive oil (a good, fancy one) and topped with halloumi cheese and then grilled as an open face sandwich. so so good!

today} we're getting out of the house finally! no rain, no snow, just sunshine! hooray!

eight} my editor wrote to me yesterday to say the advance copies of my book are IN (!!!) and that i should be receiving mine this week! i did a big happy dance and then proceeded to hyperventilate. just thinking about it now is making me get butterflies in my stomach... SO excited to see it and hold it in my hands. (they will be shaking most likely!)

  2. My dear Sarah...your comment was so amazing. You know, better than anyone, where I am at right now. Working from home with an infant, dealing with a New England winter...it's not easy.

    I would LOVE to have you come and visit! Seriously- name the date. We are ALWAYS around!

    p.s. Just wait until you hold your book- the feeling is AMAZING. I just got mine on Saturday, and I ripped open the box like a kid on Christmas morning. It was an amazing feeling! Enjoy!

  3. Hi! I just found you through Bev's (above) blog "MY awakened heart" where she has a link to you on her latest post. I love your art! So fresh and wonderful! And I'm sooo excited to see you have a book coming out. A girl can never have too many art books!! I'm always looking for a new one so YAY! And congrats to you, it looks amazing.
