Have a wonderful weekend.

My darlings, what are you up to this weekend? Alex and I are going to Abbey's house to celebrate Febgiving, which is basically Thanksgiving in February! Her friends made it up. Isn't that a great idea? Hope you have a relaxing weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

The top ten mispronounced foodie words.

Wow, holy bedroom makeover!

What a lovely wedding (with orange shoes).

Oh, Nutella snack drink, where have you been all my life?

Good to know when climbing trees.

Grace Kelly would have liked this pencil skirt.

Flower pinata.

Funny shopping moment in the UK.

Loving J. Crew's "real models" series.

Beautiful bookstore cafe.

Loving these old-school toys.

Another adorable Olympics commercial. What a great song.

The cutest cross-country road trip proposal story.

Plus, five Cup of Jo posts you may have missed.
* A well-dressed autumn.
* Wine tip.
* Venice underwater.
* A quote to remember.
* An Ode to the Indie.

  13. So True, Febgiving is Genius! I am now inspired to take the (delicious) porcini
    mushroom gravy (from Thanksgiving) out of the freezer and roast up a chicken to go with. Tonight, we will raise our glasses and toast A Cup of Jo!

  22. Hi Joanna!

    I haven't signed in, but you might remember me as Monomestile, I used to be a very active reader. 6 months ago I took a job that had me working ALL the time and I haven't been on since. Anyway, last Thursday I lost that job and have had to think "what do I do before I was working all the time?" I remembered your blog and came on today.

    I absoloutely forgot how much I love you and your blog and everything you have to say. And when I discovered you were PREGNANT I freaked out!! I am so thrilled for you and your husband! You are a total pick-me-up and I love what you have to share. Sorry for being gone so long, and I'll definately be keeping track from now on.

  23. Thanks so much for visiting my fledgling blog :) Figure skating was awesome!
    And yes, I'm SUPER stoked about my trip this summer! I looked at your honeymoon pictures and posts and am totally inspired. What do you think, is Italy a must-visit?
    Happy Weekend!

  31. Don't worry, you're not missing much by not having the Nutella/drink thing available close to you. The ice tea is pure sugar there... it's quite annoying when trying to quench your thirst after having the Nutella + cookie sticks.

    But it's a thing everyone must try at least once!

    ReplyDelete

  32. Okay, you inspired me to post about our Febgiving last weekend!

  59. McNally Jackson's is one of my favorite places in the city to hang out in. They have seats all over the tiny bookstore so you don't even have to buy anything at the cafe if you want to read. I just wish I lived nearer there. You live in the Village don't you? It's just across town.

If shipping wasn't $20.00, I just might order it...You should go to Buon Italia in NY and tell me how it is.......http://www.buonitalia.com/default.aspx/act/catalog.aspx/subcategory/Nutella/category/Sweets+%26+Cookies/browse//MenuGroup/Home.htm
