Tempted Tuesday: Gold Watch

source

Look at this picture.  Doesn't this just scream Summer?

I love that watch!  I also think I see some spruced up Friendship Bracelets

All of my jewelry is still packed away. Sheesh.

I also think I have an old watch that needs some sprucing up.

Perhaps I'll see if I can snatch up some gold spray paint & give new life to an old watch.

This is the watch I have in mind...but it too is packed away

(I got this photo from a old outfit post on Cross My Hooks..I've had that watch since 2007!)

Speaking of wants.....I also want to move, move, move!

The date is approaching! Which means we need to get our butts in gear.

What have you been up to?

What summer trends are oh so tempting to you?

Make it Monday: How I Take My Tea

At work we have a coffee/tea station for guests & for employees. 

This is great because I don't have to worry about coffee in the morning & because I get to drink tea!

Recently I've started taking my tea with cream.

I know a lot of people take their tea with milk, but I find the flavored creamers to be delicious.

The best thing about tea is the taste.

I love when there is a hint of it past something else & thats what cream does!

It adds a bit of thickness to the tea & makes it like a little tea flavored dessert!

Here are some other ideas to experiment with your tea this summer:

Ice Cream Tea

Caramel Milk Tea Frappe

Fresh Peach Tea Recipe

(for my mom!)

Sun Tea

Iced tea has to be my fave drink for summer too.

I take it good 'ol southern style too - with like 4 cups of sugar!

I love it!

What is your fave summer time drink?

How about your fave start of the day drink?

How do you like your tea?

Meet the Sponsors - Freckled Italian

First off, this chick rocks! Soon Megan, I, & a few of our other friends 

will start a joint blog called est. 1839. 

I can not wait for this too happen.  Megan is a busy little bee who is totally awesome!

I'm Megan, I'm a 22-year old graduate student working on an M.A. in Children's Literature. Moe and I actually come from the same undergraduate university and have some exciting blog things planned for next month!

I'm originally from the San Francisco Bay Area but was raised and currently reside in Virginia with my family and my boyfriend. My blog, Freckled Italian, is a place for me to write and share and connect with so many wonderful people in all sorts of different places. I love books, coffee + tea, sushi, soft v-neck T-shirts, creme brulee, and a long run or bike ride. I graduated from Longwood University with a degree in English and Creative Writing almost a year ago and I miss it terribly. If I had my way, I'd wake up every morning with nothing to do but read.
