the {fine} art of british food

September 2, 2011

Aren’t these fine art prints from Joël Penkman fun? The collection features 9 small paintings that playfully illustrate some of Britain’s tasty treats. So many of these were childhood favourites of mine – such a trip down memory lane.

I could go for a pork pie right now…

scenes from madeline island

August 24, 2011

Dan and I spent this weekend on Madeline Island (in Lake Superior) with a big group of friends for a wedding and I wanted to share some pictures. The couple were married on a cliff jutting out into the lake, which is of course when my camera died. It was the most stunning backdrop you could imagine, made even more breathtaking as post-vows they stripped out of their wedding attire and jumped off the cliff into the water together, hand in hand. We went back the next day to go jumping ourselves off of twenty-foot cliffs in that crystal blue water. It’s a weekend I’ll remember for a long time.

Last weekend we took the Brits to Chicago for a weekend that simply flew by. Lollapalooza and epic shopping in case you were wondering. I managed to forget my camera {yep, pretty awesome} so these non-food photos are courtesy of my loves, Rachel and Ben. Miss you guys already!
