On Wednesday night Mike and I checked out The Perseids. At midnight we hopped in our car and drove down a deserted ghostly highway to make our way past the edge of the city to where the water laps the shore. We spread out our blanket, I tucked myself into Mike’s arm and we let our eyes adjust to the blackest of nights – thank you, new moon. It took a while, but we saw two giant shooting stars together and two tiny ones, separately. I would have lay out there forever but somehow I missed the memo on how you’re supposed to dress in the middle of the night in summer. After a while my shivering became too apparent to ignore so we headed home. But it was a blast and they’re still on so we might just head out again tonight.
Aside from the starry stuff, here’s what I’ve been checking out on the internet!
Webstuff:
1. The cutest thing I’ve seen all week!
2. This makes me feel super old but also I weirdly think I kinda like some of the accessories on Shop Jeen?!
3. Stringy hair. Yay or nay?
4. Co-living and working. Kind of reminds me of this book, but much less extreme, of course.
5. I would be terrified if I had to live without smell.
6. Here’s a dream bungalow.
7. Do you remember: “Friday, Friday, gotta get down to Friday?”
8. This was an interesting read on lingerie in Egypt.
Link Love:
1. This homemade soft serve.
2. A gorgeous olive oil pound cake.
3. My kind of melon salad. (The photos are breathtaking!)
4. The pretzel knots of my dreams.
I’ve got my eyes on you:
1. I think I need this berry basket.
2. Dreaming about making tofu at home.
3. I really really need to find a way to justify buying this and these to go along with…
Have a wonderful weekend friends! Hope you catch some meteors!
love & potatoes,
xoxo Steph
That melon salad looks amazingly fresh and tasty. Thanks for the link!

How lovely! I’m pretty bummed I missed that meteor shower…not like I could see it in NYC. Glad you were able to go though!
Def Nay to the stringy hair – I don’t understand!! >.<
Whoooo! Friday.
Yea on the stringy hair. I wear my hair “fabulously undone” so much more (read: always) since moving from Southern California to New Hampshire. Fist pump.
And tofuuu! They make it locally here and it is so much YES. Just bought some from the farmer’s market.
:) Happy weekend!
You and mike are SOOOO so so cute. I die. That hamster might have been the cutest thing I’ve seen all week too. IDK, your donuts might trump it though, we’ll see. ;) Also, THAT bungalow and TY TY for the link love. xoxo
