Heirloom season is here and I’ve been eating them by the truckload. I predict still more caprese salad and bruschetta this weekend. Yum!

There’s nothing quite like hot, fresh, baked cookies and a cold glass of milk. Happy weekend everyone!

Happy Friday everyone! Don’t you think a little ice cream is in order? I do! (Hands off the pistachio though, that one is mine!)

I want to go to whatever party that’s serving this lavender lemonade! I also want her dress. Photo by Karen Mordechai for Sunday Suppers.

I love picnics, and this appears to be the most perfect picnic ever. Vintage paper straws for your fruity summer drink? Check. Strawberries to snack on? Check. Mint lemonade? Check. I seriously want to live in this photo. Photo by Aran Goyoaga discovered through Decor8.

I love this perfectly styled, red, white and blue tart. The sprig of mint of and lemon twist just add to the perfection. Have a fabulous three day weekend!

Watermelon drink with the perfect wedge for garnish? That’s summer embodied in a drink for me! Styling be Jen Everett.

The perfect peach to take the edge off a crazy, busy weekend. At least a visit to wine country is involved for work. Some grilled peaches in red wine sound just about perfect right now. Photo by My Tartelette.

I love the idea of escaping to Lake Como for an extended vacation. I could stare at the view for hours…

Take a dip in the pool and setup an outdoor lunch of amazing local ingredients…

Like fresh mozzarella and pesto…

And of course, strong Italian espresso would be served on a carrera marble table.

How picture perfect is this pizza? Covered in heirloom tomatoes (yes, please!) and set on parchment paper against a distressed gray background, the styling makes it almost to pretty to eat. Almost.

I love a cold glass of lemonade on a hot day and the styling is true perfection is this photo by Ellen Silverman. I love the distressed wood table, the clean and modern cake stand, and the variety of glasses used for the lemonade. Here’s hoping it warms up this weekend so I enjoy a nice glass of lemonade!

I hope everyone has a lovely long weekend! I’m looking forward to picnicking outside and taking a much needed break from the computer. Photo by Lessa O’Reilly.

I’ve got pie on the brain because of an event I’m designing and this photo just makes me want to dive right in…. Photo by Frances Janisch.
