• Oh, hicks pendant lights... I am obsessed.  But of course I am not looking to spend $500 - $800 on a light so I'm on the hunt for something similar.  If you see any, let me know!  They look great in a kitchen over your island or in a breakfast nook.  I love that they can go with traditional or modern decor.

• We recently made a pit stop at IKEA on our way back from D.C., and of course I had to have their meatballs.  Who doesn't love their lingonberry sauce?  If you are craving some Swedish meatballs, here is a recipe you can try.

• If you read this post, you should be familiar with our love for all things agate.  I recently got these from Target and I love them!

• Doesn't this drink sound just perfect for the warm weather?  It would be a good recipe to whip up when you are grilling out. I can't wait to try it!

Did any of you have a rock collection as a child?  I know I went through a phase where I would collect little bits of quartz and obsidian and jade and keep them organized in a little plastic case. I can't quite remember what I did with them, but collecting things seems to have been a favorite past time of elementary school years.  Spawned from this childhood hobby I didn't go the Hank from Breaking Bad route of geode collection, but I did develop a healthy love for agate coasters.

If you are experiencing a bit of sticker shock, I feel your pain.  That is why it has taken me so long to bring agate coasters into my life.  But we are all in luck, because Target strikes again, bringing inexpensive knock-offs of my favorite wish-list splurges.  Right now you can purchase a set of 4 agate coasters at Target for $9.99, available in both teal and magenta color options.  Thanks Target!

Target's teal agate coasters are at home with my pen shell coffee table.  My adult rock collection.
