I thought for sure I had only skipped one week of Link Love, and then was so embarrassed to see how long it’s been! My apologies, I have lost track of time! I will do better.

I am obsessed with rice casseroles lately, because they are so freaking easy and versatile. This cheddar broccoli chicken one is great, but you could also leave out the chicken, or substitute  mixed veggies instead of broccoli, or whatever ideas you come up with! Rice, cheese, salt- it basically goes with everything, right? Right. Find the recipe here.

I am obsessed with trifle. I know trifles have an old fashioned reputation but they are such a deeply satisfying dessert because they have everything- cake, whipped cream or other creamy sort of pudding thing, and then fruit. Fruit! So it’s healthy now! Because of the fruit.  See what I mean about it being an ideal dessert? Check out the recipe here.

I adore these pineapple bookends, and the DIY looks SO easy- literally only 4 things. If I see some plastic pineapples somewhere, I’m definitely making these. But of course, they could be anything- toy dinosaurs,  action figures, other plastic fruit! The possibilities are probably endless. Here’s the full DIY, so you can get inspired.

You may have noticed I’ve been sharing more sewing projects these days- that’s because I found some old Rifle Paper Co fabric (Quilting cotton) in my stash that I bought 5 years ago and have done absolutely nothing with. I don’t even know why I bought it, I guess I thought I would make something! So I’m keeping my eye out for sewing projects that look easy, suitable for a patterned cotton, and would be fun in the fabric. This top is my stand out winner so far- a free pattern that come sin sizes xxs- 5xl, too! Hooray for inclusive sizing! Check it out here.

I love this little reminder, as it can be easy to feel really gloomy about, well, everything in the world. But We need to remember we can work to refill our own glass.  I found this on Pinterest.

Have a gorgeous June weekend, friends! I hope the sun is shining wherever you are.
