The Brooklyn General Store Squirrel contest results are in- you should see the many adorable winners! Maple didn’t take away any top honours, but I’m sure she was just happy to have a little fun with all the other squirrels over at Brooklyn General. If you happen to be in the area, the squirrels are still on display until mid-June.

My dears, I must apologize. I’m woefully behind on my blogging. I have some new FOs, and new WIPs, and oddly no photos of any of these things. I’m anxiously awaiting the long weekend- I want to garden, picnic, and take hundreds of photos. It’s funny how the internet has transformed how we document our lives- indeed, made documenting our lives important to just about everyone with a high speed internet connection-and I want to indulge in all that shameless, photo-heavy joy. I also want to drink gin & tonic in the sunshine, and eat lots of cupcakes (have you seen this link?!), and lemon tarts.

Oh, and if any of you are hosting a brunch or just would like a special breakfast this coming weekend, I highly recommend this recipe. I made it for my parents recently and it was a hit. Baking eggs in bread bowls is easy-peasy, but looks impressive.
