This week’s One Splendid Day is from Laura of Cubits Organic. Without further ado, lets get lost in Laura’s perfect day…
What time of year is it?
Late Summer, Early Autumn is my favourite time of year. My daughter’s birthday, my present due date, our wedding anniversary, my own birthday, back to school, perfect weather, What more could I ask for?
Where would you be/go?
At the Farm in the orchard picking apples.
What would you do?
Go Apple picking with my family and then press some cider.
What would you wear?
Red Hunter Boots and I would post-pregnancy fit back into my skinny jeans.
Thanks Laura! That sounds so wonderful!
This will be our second season growing seeds from Laura and Cubits. Last year our rainbow carrots were so phenomenal I know they will be a staple in our garden every summer. We’re adding rainbow chard this year as well as a selection of carrots. It’s not too late to order seeds! Visit Cubits today and pick some up! Visit Laura’s blog for more on her garden and beautiful family.
This week’s installment of One Splendid Day is with Stephanie of Lil’ Burritos. I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Stephanie at a local craft show (I love meeting local artists and designers). This winter I sent a couple of their tees to my niece and they are so cute. So what is Stephanie’s most splendid day like?
What time of year is it?
Early fall, in late September or early October. This is my favorite time of the year when the sun is still warm, but there is a hint of crispness in the air and the leaves are starting to change.
Where would you be/go? /What would you do?
A perfect day for me would be spending time out West in Colorado, Oregon, or Washington. I would spend the day exploring the city and then go hiking in the mountains while enjoying the views.
What would you wear?
While wandering around the city I would wear a dress from Modcloth (my latest obsession) with a cardigan and a pair of flats.
Thanks a bunch Stephanie! Treat a little one in your life to some new threads or grab a tote for yourself at their shop. Or visit Lil’ Burritos on facebook and say hello!
Welcome to my newest interview series! This one is a little different. Let me tell you how it works. I am asking some of my favorite bloggers and artisans to describe their most perfect day by answering a simple series of questions. It can be a fantasy day, or a very realistic day. They can be as elaborate and descriptive or simple with their answers. I think it’s going to be really fun!
Our first splendid day comes from Amanda of Rust Belt Threads Vintage (and her charming feline companion, Toulouse).
What time of year is it?
Summertime in Buffalo, sometime in July. My husband and I got married last July and both of our birthdays are in the month, so it’s always a fun time of the year. Plus Buffalo has the best summers.
Where would you be/go? What would you do?
My perfect day would be waking up, eating a homemade pancake breakfast, and heading out to several estate sales and thrifts. I always love going to estate sales in the summer, because there are more to visit and better pickings. Also when driving out to the burbs or the country for a sale, you’re always bound to find a garage sale or two. Once I’m all thrifted out, I would head to either my favorite Buffalo dinner, Amy’s Place, for a tasty lentil sandwich, or to Vera’s to get a classic cocktail and share a margarita pizza with my husband. The evening would be spent either having a potluck picnic at my house with friends, where we stay up too late hanging out under the stars.
What would you wear?
Since it’s summer, I definitely would choose a simple cotton vintage sundress from my personal collection paired with some flats. There’s nothing better then slipping on a dress and flats and heading out the door.
Thanks so much Amanda! Rust Belt Threads has an amazing selection of vintage apparel and home goods. Since it’s all vintage, you never know what Amanda is going to find next! Here are some of my spring-inspired favorites…
Stay tuned for more editions of One Splendid Day this spring and summer! I’m off to a cookout with my Grandparents on this lovely Sunday afternoon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
