Cool Beans- Volume 2

1// I have unending pride for my city. Maybe it's an underdog, thing? In any case, I enjoyed this article about the growing art movement in Oakland. Actually, I hella liked it.

2// I watched this documentary a little while ago and it was both eye opening and depressing (aren't all the good documentaries that way though?)

3// If you have never grown potatoes, you really should. They are the most fun thing to harvest. It is like finding buried treasure! (And if you're a lazy gardener, your potato crop won't really suffer. Bonus!)

Have a great weekend!

Cool Beans

(Get it? Beans? Here are some things I'm digging right now.)

1// While we're in the home stretch of our kitchen project, I've been looking for some new accessories to put the final touches on the room. These tea towels might be just the thing. But then I saw these. And then these. So now you have 3 great sources for cool tea towels and I can't make up my mind.

2// B went to pick up some beer one warm evening. He came back with this. I was worried it would be too sweet, but it is surprisingly good. It might be my go-to drink this summer. Have you had this?

3// Someone in our neighborhood has this succulents-in-tea-tin display on their fence. It is quirky and kind of charming. I keep an eye out for new additions whenever I walk by.

Also, I guess it's high time I figure out the alternatives to Google reader, since its demise is expected this weekend. If you'd like to, please Follow my blog with Bloglovin. Thanks!
