Hooray & happy Friday everybody! Although Saturday is my favorite day of the week, there's something so satisfactory about Fridays. It's the end of something stressful & the beginning of something exciting — the opportunity to sleep in or run all the errands you've been wanting to complete. Unless you work weekends of course. That's another story. Aside from weekends, here's what I'm loving right now:
San Juan Capistrano
If you recall, I went on a short trip to San Clemente last week & during the vacation, we took a brief trip to San Juan Capistrano. By brief, I mean literally one hour. We checked out the Mission San Juan Capistrano gift shop & that's about it, but it's beautiful.
Farmer's Market
I don't head to farmer's market as often as I would like or as often as I should, for that matter. I did a bit of research & there are several markets in a short vicinity from me, so no more excuses! Anyhoo, I bought some mouthwateringly delicious garlic rosemary bread, cranberry orange loaf, & some dried fruit. Don't mind if I do.
St. Patrick's Day
This is the second year in a row I spent St. Patrick's Day out with my girlfriend. Apparently it's a tradition now. We went to Aztec Brewery in Vista & grabbed a flight of tasters. Absolutely no green beer for us. We did have some green jellybeans & had fun trying to guess the flavors. Our favorite? Pear.
This Sign
Let's be real. There's no way I could resist this sign. I'm a huge fan of cartoons & cute characters, so it's no surprise that this one caught my eye. Tequila isn't for me but this sign is. I hope you get a little bit of joy from it too.
Spring Blooms
Can you believe that spring is here? It's definitely one of my favorite times of the year. The beautiful & prevalent blooms are simply irresistible. I've been noticing them everywhere — on the side of the highway, during a hike, & even in the parking lot when I went to get an oil change.
What are you loving right now? Anything from my list? :]

I absolutely love cruising through farmer's markets; the fresh produce is just too irresistible! And yes that sign is adorable; I always have a weak spot for shops with handwritten signage haha!

Farmers Markets are so fun to shop in, I always feel so healthy after leaving with anything from the market! I also love the flowers, spring is blooming and it's so exciting! So many new opportunities on the way and the warm weather definitely helps. Hope you have a lovely weekend, and a very happy Easter love!

Looks like an absolutely wonderful week - I just can't wait until things start blooming here too. I'm heading to our local farmer's market tomorrow for the first time this year and couldn't be more excited for it to be starting back up again!

Farmer's markets are the best! Especially because you're supporting local AND you get the freshest food possible. I definitely need to hit one up soon.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to go for a beer tasting on St.Patty's ;)

I love farmer markets, they always have the best cheese haha! It's currently Autumn here so I'm very pleased that the weather has cooled dramatically as I love winter! Can't deal with our scorching Summers. X

Totally agree with loving the spring blooms! Unfortunately they are very far and few between where I live in rainy England but when they sun is out that is the best! Lovely post! <3

Thank you, Leslie. Have a great week. :]
ReplyDeleteIt's just so gorgeous this time of year! :]
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. The fresh produce is such a highlight; it tastes amazing too. Handwritten signage is something I always seem to look out for. :]
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda. itsCarmen is a lifestyle blog so it has a bit of everything from my life. :]
ReplyDeleteI didn't feel so healthy after buying bread & fresh cookies at the farmer's market, but I get what you mean. Have a fab week. :]
ReplyDeleteSummer?! I want to enjoy the slight briskness of spring first! Where are you from, Katie? :]
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Cielo. :]
ReplyDeleteWhen does the blooming start where you're from? How was the farmer's market experience? :]
ReplyDeleteOh yes, absolutely! You hit the nail on the head with that one. The beer (& jellybean) tasting was fun for sure. :]
ReplyDeleteSome of the farmer's markets near me are held in the middle of the week, so it makes it difficult to attend. :]
ReplyDeleteI do 5 Things I'm Loving every other Friday & encourage you to do it too; it's nice to take a step back & reflect on the joys of life. :]
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Kaylee! They're such a joyful event. Have a wonderful week. :]
ReplyDeleteCheese?!! I have to keep my eye out for cheese at the next market. I'm missing out. I absolutely relate; I'm already missing the cool, cloudy days. It's sunny in San Diego 364.5 days out of the year it would seem. :]
ReplyDeleteIt love keeping my eyes open for the colorful blooms everywhere. Have a great week. :]
ReplyDeleteTotally. It's like the world is coming alive. :]
ReplyDeleteIt just might be; I feel the same way about this spring. :]
ReplyDeleteAh shucks. Visit us here in SoCal & you'll enjoy the warmth. :]
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good mini vacation. Do anything fun? :]
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling bright & happy, & so is San Diego. Thanks Rasshi. :]
ReplyDeleteIt really is. San Juan Capistrano is such a cute place. :]
ReplyDeleteGlad we agree on the sign & spring flowers & farmer's markets. Basically everything. :]
ReplyDeleteMany thanks. :]
ReplyDeleteThose flowers look incredible! Your photography is gorgeous girl!!! Wish we had weather like that over in the UK!
