Calligraphy

One thing I wish I had done with all my time off is learn calligraphy.  It might not be useful for every day life, but how amazing would it be to be able to write like that?  I admire it so much and would try to put my skills to the test with SO MANY THINGS.

Isn't it lovely? Do any of you know how to do this?!

Pretty things for a pretty day

Once again, it's gorgeous outside.  I went out and jogged/walked again to get some fresh air and exercise to work off the apple custard tart and apple cheddar bread I made and delicious fettuccine alfredo we had for dinner last night.  I've been a baking fool and I've got no plans of stopping.  Unfortunately, there was no chance for a picture of the finished products and you're crazy if you think there were any leftovers!

Anywho - I'm inspired by these beauties and the sunshine today.

I'm such a sucker for handmade dishware - especially like these ::
