for a baker

If you like to bake, I think you might enjoy this pan from BakersEdge.com. Upon first glance, I didn't think much of it, but see the pictures below. I love how you can cut the squares of brownies so easily. And if you have a train-loving boy in your home you could really do wonders of a brownie-cake for a birthday party.

Warning: make sure you have brownie-baking ingredients on hand - photos below are sure to make you want one {or two}.

two sisters jewelry boutique.

I've wanted to be a jewelry wearer for years. I seem to be a minimalist come time to accessorize: relying on stud earrings and a great watch to add the flair to my outfits. Finally, I'm loving necklaces and bracelets but often don't find the right match for my "style." Like the theme of Tangled and True, I love my jewelry to be very simple. Quality and unique.. but the unique that doesn't have too many bells and whistles. I can't tell you how excited I was to find Two Sisters Jewelry Boutique: "hip, yet classy…definitively chic and engaging."

Jennifer and Gina are twin sisters, originally from Washington, now both living in Arizona. {After being apart, they learned that distance between them was no longer an option. Soon after, the boutique was born of Jennifer's jewelry making for friends and Gina's business background. I'm so glad it did!} If your reaction parallels mine, you'll be overwhelmed with favorites! I'll give you a tour:

I love that they pride themselves on exceptional customer service. Being friendly and easy to work with {quick to respond and deliver} is good enough. And then each item shows up in a brown craft box, tied with a chocolate satin ribbon. I could take to this jewelry shopping very easily. Two Sisters Jewelry Boutique is simply lovely.

In lieu of Summer and simple and refreshing style, the Laguna necklace {$45} quickly stood out to us as a favorite. Gina and Jennifer's recommendation? "At either 16" or 18" long in length, our yellow mother of pearl Laguna Necklace looks great alone, but even better when worn together with the Redondo Bracelet. Layer two of these necklaces to add some heat to your look. Finished off with a goldfill toggle."

The Laguna is up for giveaway to one of our "friends."

ravioli with herbed walnut sauce:

I love the kind of meals that make me excited for left overs the next day. Ravioli with Herbed Walnut Sauce does that for me. It's one of our staples and always offers delicious and easy.

1 lb. fresh cheese ravioli
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbs chopped fresh rosemary

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add walnuts; saute until golden, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; saute 30 seconds. Add wine; simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add parsley and rosemary, and simmer 1 minute. Add ravioli and toss to coat with sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

We eat it with some fresh whole grain bread and summer fruit.

lunch sacks

School has already started for kids in San Diego. If you failed to find the perfect lunchbox for your little one or if you prefer to use brown paper lunchsacks, you might like this idea from Martha Stewart.

Make your own sticker lunch labels or print the designs Martha offers you. All one needs is a color printer and white sticker paper...simple. and fun.
