a package came

Lina, a dear friend from my childhood in Anchorage sent this in the mail for Elke's first day of Kindergarten.
How nice she had a designer fashion her first school outfit complete with a pony on front!

Lina and my sister Kim met in 2nd grade when she spoke no english. They communicated through drawing and have been best friends ever since.



Her line is called Freerange Chic and it is the perfect blend of sweet and fun.



oh, and a reversible matching pony purse with vintage ribbon handle is very nice for every day!

recipe rolodex: zucchini cornbread

I found this recipe in bon appetit a couple months ago and it really was so good. Salty, sweet and a bit funky with our wild zucchini from the farm.
