Potluck:
Shabby in the City has invited everyone to a potluck. We were supposed to bring something to eat from our region. I didn't have time to make some great California cuisine so I just made some ginger scones. The recipe can be found here. I used a heart-shaped cutter instead of a round one.
Inspiration Friday:

When I was in high school and dating my now ex-husband, I remember telling him that I would never marry a man that didn't want to live by the beach. Here I am, 46 years old and I still haven't lived near the beach. When I say "near" I mean walking distance. I live about a 35 minute drive from Santa Cruz so I guess that's not too bad. Sometimes when the fog rolls in from the coast to my area the seagulls come along with it and I pretend I'm living right near the water....I'm such a dreamer! I love sound of seagulls! I've always wanted a beach house and if I had one I would love it to look like this. These pictures were taken from Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Magazine -Summer 2005.

Here I am all content living in the country...now by golly I'm dying to live by the ocean!
I had a dream once that out the front of my house was a view of the ocean and out the back an amazing view of the mountains...wouldn't that be great?
Thanks for coming to the potluck :)
Of course you made your scones in heart shapes! I think the most inpiring picture you shared today was that one,the one of your darling heart shaped scone, set on the backdrop of that most charming tablescape- THAT really inspired me!It's the little details that just make a home a haven, and you have got the gift. Thanks for sharing again...I will be joining in on Inspiration fridays starting next week!
I love the rug with the color of the walls in the first photo.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. The scones look pretty in the shape of hearts. I've posted a dessert recipe using Washington State apples on my blog. This has been such a nice potluck!
Your scones sound very tasty, can't wait to try them! Thank you for inviting me to your potluck, I had a great time! :)

I live about 65 miles (as the crow flies) from the ocean and after the rain we often get seagulls, here, in the DESERT (Palmdale). I love it!
What wonderful and inspirational pictures! I'm at peace now :)
This recipe sounds scrumptious. I'm going to give them a try because I'm a sucker for anything that's yummy and baked! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Mmmm...I love scones and I've never had a ginger one before. I'll have to try it.
Sigh - I so love those pictures! That's my shade of blue, and the light in those rooms, those windows! Very inspiring pictures -
thank you for sharing them and the recipe.

Cindy,
Your dream sounds alot like mine used to be LoL! While in my 20's I lived as close as I ever was going to get to the beach I suppose... I lived in Manhattan Beach but it was a nice long bike ride to the sandy shore... last time I lived near the beach was my apt in Redondo, but by that time I was way grown & divorced with 3 kids... and somehow that dream of beach style living wasn't the same :o)
Now, I couldn't be farther from anyone's beach... snowy, cold Michigan has beckoned my name for sometime now :))
Have a wonderfully blessed Easter!

OMGosh I've always wanted a seaside cottage. I remember seeing these pictures and drooling over them. I may actually have them tucked away in my files. Gorgeous, gorgeous!! Perhaps by next Friday I can hop onto the Friday Inspiration posts. xoxo
