Sunday Mornings

So, I know I don't blog for 10 years and all of the sudden i write 2 in one day. What are things coming to?
After my og post, we made some breakfast and we had elephant eyes, eggs in the basket, whatever the f- you want to call it. It was delish. Of course, I had my coffee and kombucha fix and some farmers market cantaloupe. YUM.



After breakfast, we headed out to the farmers market and picked up our weekly produce. I'm not sure if its cheaper then shopping at a big chain grocery store but as far as shopping at whole foods/wild oats. Its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper. So we spent $47 and the bulk of the money went to flowers $12 and berries (3 boxes) $11 and then the other $24 went to other veggies and fruits

So here is the famers market booty! IN my uber cute riesenthal shopping bag.





So, if you want an idea of how much it bought us

1 peach
1 nectarine
2 lemons
2 pluots
1 yellow raspberrie box
1 red reaspberry box
1 blueberry box
1 bunch of grapes (about 1 pound)
1 bunch of radishes
1 bunch of leek
1 bunch of basil (yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
1 green onion bunch
3 corn on the cobs
1 head of lettuce
1 bunch of dill
1 bok choy
2 avocados
1 head of broccoli
1 bunch of spinach

4 flower bouquets


And, took a cute picture of the puppers. They were waiting to get a little bit of our left over elephant eyes.

Favorite Things

Hi all some more additions

1.) Le Crueset- I picked up two of these tiny pots to put soups and desserts in.. I love it! I bought one in this color and one in a vibrant green. I'm sure in 20 years I'll look at them and wonder why I bought this color but I like to think they will go with my mom's matching avacado green ones



2.) Riesenthal Farmers Basket- I love to take this to the farmers market and fill it up with veggies and fruits.




3.) Sunset Magazine- www.sunset.com this is may's cover and what made me fall in love with it. I will be going to stay at this sometime in the near future. I HOPE!



4.) Sex and the City the movie- love love love this movie and of course the costumes. Amazing!



5.) My new owl necklace bought from the Santa Monica Flea Market- mine is silver and doesn't have quite such a crazy looking face but i :HEART: it




I'm headed to the midwest for almost a week. yay! I can't wait to go. I'm going to try and bring back some fresh rhubarb to make my own pies without using grocery store frozen. blach. Also, my girlfrined, Stacey is getting married on Friday. YAY! I am so happy for them. I hope that this marriage brings them all that they have ever hoped for. They are so right for eachother. OK..enough of the mushy lovey goopey stuff.

Hope everyone is doing well.

love and kisses

We will have to have a Gocco Party when it arrives

New Purchases

This is my new bread box for my kitchen! I found it on ebay and I am absolutely in love with it. I might try and refinish it and get a new sticker to put on it. Their are a couple of nicks and scrapes but overall I love it and maybe I'll pick my new colors for the kitchen off of this box! Now before you think..ew um gross you're going to put you're bread in it. I plan on keeping wrapped bread in it and of course I'll give it a through Lysol spray inside, but I think it's going to look darling on my little counter!Next, eBay item up is two anthropologie kitsch 'n' glam aprons! They are aprons designed to fit like a retro dress, but obviously made out of good kitcheny material! I love these fun aprons. Normally they are $38.99 on anthropologie.com, but i was able to snag two aprons for $48.00 with shipping on eBay! and they are nwt( i really hope that means new with tag)





So hopefully, these will be what i ordered and I can go to town in my kitchen with all my new aprons!

Last night, I was going to attempt to make Thai Curry, but after going to the dog park I decided that I would much rather go to El Torito. So off we went and split a pitcher of blackberry margaritas. I asked how many the pitcher held and he said, oh about 4...Well i think he meant about 4 each. So a very buzzed Raechel drove home. It was quite silly, I live um...3 blocks for El torito, but I just hopped in the car without even thinking about it.

OH welll.

What else is new in Raechel land. I have gotten back to ballet. I know go on Wednesday right around lunch. I really love it. I do have a new teacher and she is good, but she isn't quite like my old teacher. Alicia ( the new teacher) is a prego, so its harder for her to teach and she can't show us jumps or anything, which sucks a little but she's really nice and I feel like I am getting a good ballet education from her. Jack built me a bar this weekend so I can practice when I am at home. I really want to learn how to be en pointe. That is a goal. If I had stuck with ballet when I was 5 I would be en pointe now, but alas, I was a foolish girl and wanted to play basketball (!?!?!??!??!?) (ok, don't judge. everyone else in my class was!) Maybe next time I am home I will put up pictures of me in my basketball regalia..It is quite amusing. Just as an FYI. Mother's should not be allowed to dress their children. I had to wear black socks with black tennis shoes because that was the color on out jerseys..oy vay..

This is going to be a super long post, but I feel that it is very worth you're reading because of all of the amazing things that have been going on.......or I just really wanted to share about my latest and greatest eBay purchases!

ok, well my bit of wisdom is "grease after the peace " ( i guess its a surfing mantra)

kisses
