• I know that the idea of a vegan cake sounds a little scary. But this recipe for chocolate ginger orange cake is probably one of the best chocolate cakes that I have eaten in some time. I made it for the first time a few weeks back and have been craving it ever since. Note: the recipe is written as cupcakes, I halved the recipe and baked it in a 8 in square pan.
• This owl paper mask is adorable and would be the perfect addition to a little kid’s room. The patience and foresight required to plan out this mask is way beyond me. (via My Owl Barn)
• I made a batch of apple butter over winter break and am always looking for savory ways to utilize it. This barbecue sauce with an apple butter base, sounds just up my alley. (via Food in Jars)
• One of my new year’s resolutions was to start paring down my possessions. One of the struggles I am having as I start eliminating objects from my home, is the blank space where objects used to be. This post compares white space to the silence in music. It really struck home and is helping me embrace the holes.

Have you discovered anything this week that jumped out at you? Let me know below. I’m always looking for new sources of inspiration!

I’m loving these iPhone/iPad wallpapers available from Poolga, of course my two favorites involve an owl and a bike.

Speaking of owls, I keep trying to decide how to mix-and-match this 2011 Owl Calendar from My Owl Barn.

These stirrup socks that fit under boots are on my knitting list as soon as I’m done with finals and making Christmas presents, of course.

After reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer I’ve been wanting to send more letters and these cards are so dang cute.

Finally, I’ve been getting lots of photography inspiration from the Fraction Magazine Holiday Print Sale.

Hope you have a fantastic week!

Another iPhone capture of things that catch my eye. This time: One of my all-time favorite window displays in San Francisco. It’s located right near Dolores Park and is an entire collection of OWLS!
