Feathers in our hair...

I love the style of French-Finnish singer Olivia Merilahti, from The Do, in particular the beautiful Feather Earring that she wears in this video:

A very talented girl hiding behind the nickname 'featherwitch' makes beautiful head pieces with feathers, leather and beads. Thank you featherwitch, because, just like Olivia, we all dream to be a Native-American princess.

earl grey cookies...

...can't wait to try these vegan shortbread cookies flavored with earl gray tea available at this etsy store!

afternoon tea

I tried and adapted this great recipe for vegan thumbprint cookies. They are so delicious and can easily be made gluten-free, for the gluten free friends. Enjoy them with a cup of earl grey!
1/4 cup almond or macademia nut, ground
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 pinch salt
1/3 maple syrup
1/8 light oil (canola or corn)
1/8 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons preserve (I used cherry but apricot or raspberry would be great too)
11/2 teaspoons almond extract

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients. Mix all wet ingredients. Mix both mixtures. Flatten cookies onto a pan. Put a little jam on each cookie. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the edges start to get golden brown.
