Style Scouting: Vol.249

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

I hope you are enjoying your July 4th weekend. It has been a leisurely one for me as I am enjoying simply sitting out on our gazebo and watching all the boaters having fun on the water over the holiday weekend.

With the 4th being on a Friday, I didn’t get as much as I had planned to get done last week. Even though it was quiet on the blog, I did make good progress on my current project for my kitchen that I told you about last week. I am determined to get it done so stayed tuned.

Now onto the links I found this week.

“I love being home. I love wearing my comfy clothes. I love doing absolutely nothing. Or doing the things I absolutely love. I love the silence. The solitude. The peace. The warm and calm feeling of being safe and content in my own comfy space. I just love it. I love it all.” – Vanessa Dewsbury

Oh… So Stylish Finds

  • I made a new recipe from a new cookbook I got. Ed isn’t a vegan, but eats what I eat a few nights a week. He raved about the Cajun Spinach Artichoke Pasta I made from the book and kept saying it was one of the best pasta dishes he ever ate. (open in same tab)
