Feast your eyes on Marcus from Harvest Moon Catering

 

Yesterday, while shopping at the Main Street Market, I stopped into FEAST for some travel snacks, and ran into Marcus from Harvest Moon Catering

You have to love that the head chef for my favorite catering company is shopping at the local market.  

I love Harvest Moon Catering because they will do as much or as little as you want them to do.  

I often call Marcus to make a big salad for a garden party or white bean chili for a birthday party.  It takes the stress level down a few notches ...knowing that the main dish will win over the hearts of everyone at the party. 

 Call Marcus, 434-296-9091.  

Be sure you mention that SCOUT sent you.

A quick note regarding FEAST at the Main Street Market.

We are headed up to Rhode Island tomorrow and needed some snacks for the 9 hour road trip. Feast has an awesome supply of healthy snacks to take along.

Enjoy!

Beryll designs are an alchemy of pure form, function and exquisite craftsmanship. “handcrafted by good people. worn by good people.” comes from a pure place, expressed by designs that are not necessarily for the "Mother Theresa good” , but all the “good people” like artist, actors, musicians, athletes and specially local heroes that day-in/day-out do good right at home.

Tavia KF Brown-Local Charlottesville Jeweler

Have you perused your latest issue of Elle Magazine?

Look carefully and you'll see a small feature on local jewelry maker Tavia KF Brown. 

The bracelet above was made in memory of a loved one.

 

The studios for taviametal are in the Linen Building on East Market Street just across form Jinx BBQ. Tavia's beautifully crafted pieces are a gorgeous blend of punk rock and mother earth. I love the heft of the rings and the chunky yet delicate designs. Really arresting are the custom pieces; adoration bracelets which can be engraved with the names, ss numbers, whateveres, of those you love. There are those who put them on and never take them off. Check it out

Shhh....

I think that I am going to purchase this bracelet for my husband, with the names of our children and their birthdates on the inside.  

LOVE IT!

(Thank you to my Scout, Pati, for this great post!!)

Wedding attire at Whimsies

My father in law was married yesterday in Markham, Virginia.

I always have such a hard time finding my girls something that we can all agree on.  

They are past the beautiful smocked dresses that I love, 

and I will not allow them to wear the Hannah Montana dresses that they like.

Our compromise.....these adorable TUTUs  from Whimsies in Barracks Road.

Sidewalk Sale at Blue Ridge Mountain Sports

Sidewalk Sale Thursday-Sunday at Barracks Road

My lovely friend Nora called with some Scout News. Prana shorts for MEN at Blue Ridge Mountain Sports,

ON SALE: $19.99

Nora and I spend a lot of time in Yoga together and we often comment/maybe complain a little bit about the men in class with the tight spandex and no shirt look.  

(The look Nora is giving in the above picture is exactly how we feel about the far too frequently seen attire).

Now, I know that we are not supposed to focus on such matters while practicing yoga, BUT if I was wearing a thong to class, I think it might be a bit distracting/inappropriate.  

SO, for all you YOGIS who can't afford a roomier pair of shorts-its your lucky day.  

These cool shorts are $19.99 at Blue Ridge Mountain Sports.  You don't even need to park, just drive up, put on your hazards, and purchase these awesome shorts right off the sidewalk.

They are super-cool.
