Milly's Kitchen

Happy Friday! This weekend we are staying in. As much as we love being out and about, it’s so nice to have a cozy weekend at home! Our plan is to paint our side room and harvest the rest of our honey! We hope you have a great weekend!

Finding Philothea’s Friday Favorites

1.) Almond Crepe Cake with Raspberry-Rose Cream from Milly’s Kitchen.

Mike asked me what kind of cake I would like for my birthday next month and I showed him this one. It looks delicious!

2.) Beach Umbrellas from Sunday Supply Co.

We are supposed to get a big snow storm this weekend (the reason we are staying in!) and I can’t stop thinking about warm weather because of it! Summer is my favorite season, and I am really looking forward to beach days with Mike and Peter! I love these beach umbrellas, especially this orange striped “Sun Ray” one!

3.) Printable Baby Girl Floral Closet Dividers for Nursery designed and sold by Arthur Baby.

These clothes dividers would make the perfect unique gift for parents-to-be! I love this design, too! I wish I had them to organize Peter’s closet when he was a baby!

4.) Dining at the Grotta Palazzese Restaurant.

We are always dreaming about a trip to Italy together, and have so much fun planning our “dream itinerary.” This stunning restaurant, created inside a vaulted limestone cave, is at the top of our list!

5.) Rattan Sofa sold by The Wicked Boheme.

I love the look of Rattan furniture and decor! We are looking for a sofa for our side room and I keep coming back to this one!
