Recipe: Hipster Beans and Franks
A couple weeks back I was headed into the kitchen proclaiming to Mary how I was going to make beans and franks. To my surprise she replied back, "you're going to make what?" I began to wonder if this one of those "17 Apart" moments where age comes into play?

Weekend Basics
Hello! Hello! We're checking in this morning after coming off an 8 day stay in NYC, so the majority of this past weekend's rainy days were spent unpacking and settling back in at home. Probably the most important part of coming back from spending time away is getting in a few extra cuddles with this guy (who is apparently full of what we like to call "sassmouf" — 8 days is too long guys!)...

Today we're back again, sharing all the smaller things we're into (or fancying, hence the series name) that might not fit into a single post for one reason or another. Sometimes there might be a long list of randomness, other times it might be a single gem — whatever the case, here's what we're into right now.

Garden Update: Why Aren't My Jonquils Blooming?
This time last year we were transplanting jonquil bulbs we'd dug up from my mother's place on the river around our house here in the city, in hopes they'd grow and multiply, bringing a little bit of history and familiarity each spring.

Over on eHow: DIY Upcycled Medicine Cabinet
A few weeks ago we made a trip down to one of our favorite local architectural salvage warehouses, Caravati's, to take a look around. If you're local to Richmond or visiting the area, this is just one of those neat stops, filled with richmond history — fun for looking around, killing time and drawing tons of inspiration.

Weekend Basics
It was one of the first truly "spring feeling" full weekends we've had in Richmond where the weather stayed steadily mild, the trees are bursting with buds and blooms and everyone around us just seems alive. We kicked off the weekend with a Saturday trip to my mom's house on the James River.

For Chelsea's birthday, I used two different cookie cutters and a host of sprinkles to create a negative space shaped heart and sugary silver number 1.
