Five Favourite Friday Findings

 
Vegan Deviled Eggs

Okay, I admit that when I first heard the words “Vegan Deviled Eggs” I cringed.  But then I actually read through the ingredients and they actually sound really tasty. 


Here's Maresa's recipe over at the Lagusta's Lucious blog.

Neon Light Rail Wedge

I'm not a huge fan of this new neon trend, perhaps because it brings me back to the early 90's when I looked like a Neon Nightmare. However, I really love these gray and neon yellow vegan wedges from modcloth.  I'll concede that a tiny bit of neon yellow looks okay with a dark neutral backdrop.

Chevron Clutch Purse
I love the style, pattern and colour pallette of this purse.

Jeff Who Lives At Home
I saw this movie at TIFF2011 and all of the recent previews for it just reminded of how much I enjoyed it.  It's not your typical Jason Segal or Ed Helms fair but it's funny, touching and depressing all at the same time. I'm glad that it already had been picked up for distribution before being screened at TIFF -- it's definitely a movie I'd love to see again.

Any big weekend plans?

Five Favourite Friday Fridays

Is it cheating if I post this? I prepared this post for Friday but for some reason I couldn't get Blogger to upload it.   As I haven't quite figured out the final details of my flux capacitor yet it will be a while until I master time travel.  Until then, I'll have to cheat. So rewind, it's Friday!

Red Panda Totem Figure

If you've ever seen a red panda you'd know they're one of the cutest animals (next to Arthur of course).  They look like cuddly stuffed animals.  So imagine how thrilled I was to find this adorable red panda pocket in HandyMaiden's equally adorable etsy shop.  The Badger of Honour military decoration is also a favourite.

Not something I'd ever own but I can dream.  This bag is beautiful!

Quilling

I want to Quill (not Quills, I'll leave that to Geoffrey Rush *shudders*).  Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs.  The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape -- hence the term "quilling." 

I remember creating some pretty bad-ass Valentine's cards for my parents using this technique in grade 3 but I want to learn to create more intricate designs.

La Boom's Etsy Shop

Look at these adorable Shadow Box Frames, Light Boxes and Pedestals from La Boom's etsy shop.  I want.

Mylk Uncookies

I'm going to post more about this coffee shop later in the week when I recap last Thursday's lunch time adventure but man do I love this place.  I've been there before to pick up some of their vegan goodies (try the hot chocolata cookie) but I never tried anything using their house made almond mylk.  Man, it's good! I never want to drink another kind of almond milk again.  I had a Walnut Ave. tea latte. It was house made almond mylk mixed with Walnut Ave. tea from Tealish.  It tasted like a warm, creamy nut milk -- but actually good and not all groody/pervy my description makes it sound like.  

Maybe I'll convince Dan to drive out that way after work so I can get my tea latte on!

*Author's note: We did not go to Mylk Uncookies on Friday :( *

So there we have my Five Favourite Friday Findings....from last Friday.   Sorry for cheating!

I checked with Arthur to see if he had a problem with me posting a Friday post on Monday.  He said no, but he's always so laid back and relaxed.

Hope your weekend was as lazy as Arthur's!
