Pink Magick

Trees and Musings

Isn't this a lovely day?
Yes, and it consists of eating macarons from Laduree (mind you, all of this is in my ardent imagination)
Looking at and reading Tim Walker picture books
Snuggling indoors from the cold with a warm set of slippers
Growing a massive tree in the middle of my living room? No, that was a nap.

The Black Apple Holiday Sweets

Some holiday sweets ideas by The Black Apple. Wondrous with a stout glass of egg nog or a warm mug of cocoa.

North Pole Breakfast

Just a thought. This is probably something the little she-elf from The Santa Clause would serve up at the North Pole for breakfast. Yes, it's official, I have the Christmas bug:)
Peppermint sticks dipped in white chocolate covered in nonpareils. Delightful.
Holiday-themed Starbucks is a bright spot in the year for me. I look forward to the unique flavors and creative packaging with kid-like giddy-ness. It's ridiculous that a coffee shop could inspire such excitement, but it does.
This pic is from elsiecake. Ahhh, iced coffee. Caffeine.
Just the thing to get this little guy out of bed:)

Macaroon Pastries

Macaroons are beautiful pastries. I haven't tried one yet, but I've heard people rant and rave about how great they are for some time now. I have a recipe from The Black Apple blog that I'm going to try soon:)
