Link Love – Texas edition

It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper link love post. There are so many sites that I’ve been reading recently, and felt like putting together a post will be the best way to highlight them.

I’m sitting in a lovely Starbucks in Waterloo finishing up some work before meeting a friend for dinner and then flying to Austin. It was supposed to be a cottage weekend, and it seems like it might the last one of the summer based on my schedule. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

P.S. Only 2 weeks until FINCON12. As you can tell, I’m beyond excited about this.  Also, I made these last night.

The recipe can be found here on Chic Darling.



Anyway on to the posts:
