There hasn’t been any Winston here for awhile, so I thought I’d just add this picture from last weekend when he insisted on coming along while I ran errands. He makes me laugh the way he sits in the front seat and is such a good little passenger.

I was a lucky winner last week! Lara of Piewacket, with a little help from Kiehl's had a giveaway earlier this summer, and I won quite the box full of treats. I've loved all the Kiehl's products I've ever tried, but they are a bit of a splurge. I regularly use their Pineapple Papaya Facial Scrub, which, when used as a mask, makes your face so soft and smooth, just like a baby's bottom. I've hoarded a tube of it for longer than I care to admit. Thanks so much Lara! I feel so spoiled with all these great products. I think I will be using the tinted moisturizer as my daily foundation from now on, and I thought I was happy with my L'Oreal mascara, but this stuff is so great. And two lip balms! They make the best lip products. Lucky lucky me!
If you've never been to Lara's blog, I suggest a visit. She's a professional photographer and amatuer billiards player. I am always inspired by her photos, and she shares some really lovely vintage finds and delicious foods.

Every morning I have to do my chores before leaving for work (except for the days Mr.HeyLucy does them for me). I throw scratch down for the chickens and fill their feed bowl. I make sure the water dish is full, since it is uses by dogs, chickens, and bees. The dogs get food and my vegetable garden gets watered too. All while looking Farmgirl chic. This is my version of fashion week.

Today I covered my camera strap with cute fabric.

It was a vintage wool Liberty of London tie I had squirreled away, waiting for just the right project. I really love it.

I was feeling like I haven't been very productive lately, but I actually have been working on some things. I'm just a little scattered right now.

Two little softies will be on their way to Australia this week for a new book, and I've finally figured out a pattern for the pink and brown quilt I need to make.

My new little layer, on the other hand, has been very productive. One of her very first eggs was a double yolker

And two last words: Greek Nachos. Yum. Okay, that was three words. 

I made a pineapple upside-down cake.

It was really delicious. I used this recipe. The only changes I made were to eliminate the cherries, which would have been prettier, but I don't love them and didn't want to buy a whole jar knowing I would never use the rest. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter because vanilla is good, and I was surprised that it didn't call for it.
