Saturdays At Shop This: How Are You Doing?

Hi Friends. What a week. Hopefully you are feeling good and coping the best that you can. I had a birthday to remember (or forget ) this week, the world is even more ill than last, and I find myself teary eyed often. The news is getting to me. So I often just turn it off and listen to music, or surf Instagram for feel good photos like the adorable goats above. They made me smile, and I hope you do, too. Let's wrap up the week with some helpful links.

Easter & Passover Celebrations At Home

{ Via: Alchemy Fine Home }

Funny how life has changed so much for all of us, yet the calendar keeps on turning the page. We must try to still experience some joy in our daily lives, even amid the world crisis.  Sadly, none of us will be treated to Easter Brunch or Passover dinners out this year.  So we better treat ourselves and our immediate families in a special way.  This roundup of 18 recipes are celebration worthy, no matter what you are celebrating. You can find the links to the beautiful recipes above and the gorgeous tableware to match at 
Alchemy Fine Home.
