Show Love

 "The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place."

Doing a good deed and showing love doesn't have to always be extravagant. Good can be in the details.

 love can be a pie

 or even cupcakes ;)

love because you were shown love...

even if that means baking someone a pie.

She Was a Day Tripper

I am back from my little trip and from a restful weekend! I was able to go to San Francisco and I took lots and lots of pictures! I have sorted out a few of my favorites below. It was a great day full of shopping, delicious food, and wonderful sights!

This building reminded me of Paris.

"Pink & green Thursday!" I said aloud with glee as I took this picture and thought of Pink & Green Thursdays!

Golden Gate Bridge covered by fog.

Yummy cupcakes!

An adorable store called Gigi + Rose.

Chinatown

I made it Miette! Remember all their goodies here? I tried their chocolate lavender macaron and their delicious salty and sweet caramels. Sooo good!

I feel blessed for days like this.

Pink & Green Thursday: Summertime

I'm playing along with sweet Trish from Pink Preppy Lilly Lover for Pink & Green Thursday. In keeping with the summer theme this week, today is all about pink & green summer delights!

Put away your winter umbrellas, because it's time for summer and all that goes along with it...

...bringing out the summer fashions...

...going on vacation...

...exploring new places...

...lazy days...

...daydreaming...

...watching the sunset...

...swimming...

...going on bike rides...

...spending time on the beach...

...going to the fair...

...summer parties...

...catching up with friends...

...and enjoying nature.

I hope you all have a wonderful summer filled with all joyous things!

I'm also playing along with Summer Sundays at The Tablescaper. Go check out all the summery posts there!

Miette

Miette: French for "little crumb". If that wasn't cute enough, I have discovered this adorable pastry shop called Miette. It is located in the Ferry Building in San Francisco, California.

I have yet to go there, but I definitely will. From what I hear, it is as cute as it sounds! I am so glad I found them online so I could get a taste for what they have. The best part? You can actually order their cookies and confections online (cakes excluded). Here are some wonderful treats they offer:

Princess:
Genoise sponge cake moistened with Chambord, a layer of raspberry jam, pastry cream and lightly sweetened Straus Family Creamery whipped cream, covered with white chocolate fondant.

Strawberry Tomboy:
Three layers of chocolate cake filled with strawberry buttercream.

Bumblebee:
Yellow cake with whipped chocolate ganache.

Scharffen Berger:
A moist chocolate cake made with Scharffen Berger’s cocoa powder and 70% chocolate and covered in a bittersweet, truffle ganache.

Yellow Strawberry Cupcake:
Rich yellow cupcake topped with fluffy strawberry buttercream.

Lemon Shortbread:
Fresh, light, buttery, and zesty goodness.

Lemon Debutante:
Three layers of vanilla sponge cake, homemade lemon curd and very light lemon buttercream.

Gingersnaps:
Fresh, dried, & candied ginger, and lots of Straus butter are what make these cookies gloriously snappy.

Fleur de Sel Caramels

Vanilla Marshmallows:
Soft, sweet clouds of vanilla would pair wonderfully with a cup of dark chocolate cocoa.

Sugar Flowers and Leaves:
Decorate your cupcakes and cakes with these cute flowers!

Rosettes:
Rose geranium meringues.
