five things Friday: summer Pinspiration edition

Ah, how is it LATE July already? Every season goes by fast in reality, but summer is the one I always feel most like I need to grab onto, because the special seasonal things (strawberries! fresh flowers from the market! being tan!) are so good and so fleeting. So for your Friday: some summery Pinterest-inspired things to eat, wear and do to make the most of the summer that remains.

Luckily there's still a lot of good summertime to come: corn and tomatoes are just about to be in season here, so I'm looking forward to trying out this salad finally - doesn't it look so yummy, light, and fresh? - and to buying lovely bunches of dahlias at the farmers market too. And after last year's perfect sangria recipe, the family is still on the lookout for our cottage "drink of the summer" - I think we'll have to try out champagne margaritas next weekend!

What's left on your summer list? Hope this inspiration inspires you to get out and do something seasonally special this weekend!

  1. Oh, my gosh those tents are adorable! I hope you're making them, because I'd love to see your interpretation. And champagne margaritas sound amazing - two of my favorite drink in one. I'm going to have to try that one out! :)

  2. I am also astounded by how fast summer has already flown by. I've been trying to soak it up as much as possible, yet I feel like there are SO MANY things I still want to do. Adding that yummy-looking salad to my list. I always cry a little bit when all the summer produce starts to disappear... while spring is my favorite season, you just can't beat the fruits and veggies of summer!
