Goooooood morning! Head into your weekend with a few uplifting things we love right now. Enjoy!
FRIDAY FAVES - 3.4.22
- My friend, Molly, is an urban flower farmer. She sells bouquet subscriptions during the summer months and also peddles dahlia tubers that you can have shipped right to your door! Check her out at Northerly Flora. It's almost Spring!
- If you're feeling a little yucky about Russia right now, might I suggest watching The Great on Hulu? It's a hilarious, irreverant, and semi-historical series about Catherine (and Peter) The Great. "Huzzah!"
- I reaaaally want to try these sweet Korean pancakes.
- We'll be featuring amazing women in wine on our Instagram account all month, to celebrate Women's History Month. Check back each week! You will absolutely discover something new and inspiring each time.
- Leslee is all about the little happy dishes made here in Minneapolis by A Mano. Just look at these spoon rests!
That's all, folks!

Thanks for reading!

Hello hello! As we head into another weekend, here are some things we're thinking about to make you happy:
FRIDAY FAVES - 2.4.22
- I know this might sound like a platitude, but I have found the true, BEST banana bread recipe. Seriously. The Ultimate Banana Bread from Smitten Kitchen is a hearty, heavy loaf with an insanely crackly top, ridiculous moisture levels, and a butterscotchy flavor profile. Add chocolate chips if you dare.
- Remember that classic children's book, "Goodnight Moon"? Here's a cool profile on the woman who wrote it.
- If you're looking for a unique and delicious Valentine's Day gift, check out our collaboration with Cépage! #freewine
- Highly recommend reading the comment section on this Cup of Jo post. It's stuffed with people's pro tips, on everything from stain removal, to staying calm, to successful date nights. It will inspire you!
Bye for now!
