Sarahphina’s Finds (5-10-13): Simple Pleasures Edition

10 May

Happy Hot Friday, loves!

Straight to the point.  Today’s post is dedicated to little things that have warmed my heart and made me smile this week.

  • Serendipitous happenings.  This happened to me yesterday.  I walked into a coffee shop (Tula on MLK, if you’re a local.  Iced coffee is divine) and heard some super awesome music playing.  I risked speaking to the impossibly attractive baristas who work there and asked if they could tell me who it was.  An adorable boy in glasses bounded up and said it was Laura Stevenson and the Cans–a NY based group that was playing the Doug Fir that night.  So I went to her show.  Because fate, right?  Check out her video for “The Healthy One.”
  • Delicious beverages.  My writing today is lubricated by a delicious mango bubble tea with coconut jellies and tapioca from Fat Straw.  It tastes like sunshine.  Exactly like sunshine.
  • Finding a new book to love!  I’m almost done with Christopher Moore’s Sacre Bleu! and it’s delightful.  I grew up adoring the impressionists, and this book is a delightful 19th century Parisian art love-fest romp.
  • Flowers in my hair.
Yellow!

Yellow!

  • Flowers in the garden!  My first rose of the year.

  • Watching King of the Hill ( I know, we’re stuck in the 90s) cuddled on the couch after a long day.
  • Watermelon!
  • Dr. Who.  I’m in the third season and I’m totally, totally hooked. I haven’t loved a show this hard since Buffy.  And that is saying something.

Yeah.  I’m feeling pretty content today.

Wishing all you moms out there a Happy Mother’s Day this weekend, and I’ll be back on Monday!
