Five on a Friday

The weekend is here! I class Friday as the first day of my weekend so we have arrived.

In celebration of my giddiness I am going to join in with "Five on a Friday", which I found on http://www.starrybluesky.wordpress.com/.

"Anemones - Signed Fine Art Photograph"

This is a beautiful print from Rhiannon's shop .

Well these finds made this morning take care of no.1

I have been looking for some culenary inspiration this week and found this tasey recipe for a tomato and basil tart here. I think I'll give it a try on Sunday for a lovely summery lunch.

Another artist for you now, Michelemaule, an artist from Portland, Oregon. Her work ranges from soft coloured prints to quircky collages. I think I found her blog last year and had my eye on some of her prints for some time. Last night I was Twittering away and MrLB asked to see who I was chatting to and I showed him Michele's work. He agreed that her art is fresh and funky and bought me a few of her prints for my birthday next week! I am soooo excited, I have already decided where they are going to hang and plan to buy some frames this weekend.

This song is one of my all time favs, featured in Dirty Dancing (please don't let that put you off!). At least once a week I'll pass MrLB in the hall and he'll be humming it and then it gets back into my head. Solomon Burke aka "The king of rock and soul" is well worth a listen to.
