Hope your week is going well. Big news over here, we just adopted a 5-year-old Boston Terrier named Roma. She got her name because her face turns red when she's nervous or tired. She also has a thing for stealing laundry. Safe to say she's keeping us on our toes. (scroll down for a photo)
In a couple weeks we're heading to Portugal for a family vacation. We're super excited to explore and hopefully soak up some sunshine. If you have any recs for what to see, do, and eat in Lisbon and The Algarve, send them my way.

Here are 5 things I'm currently digging...
1.
I've been using this Bauhaus Clock screensaver by Atilla Taşkıran and it's one of those small details that just makes me happy. The level of craft he put into it is really impressive. When my screen goes idle, it actually feels like it belongs on my desk.
2.
I've never seen realism and graffiti blended together like this. Beautiful work by Safeyah Aljabouri.
3.
This coffee from Black & White Roasters literally smells like fresh peaches and is one of the most unique cups I've had in a while. If you're into specialty coffee, grab some beans before they're gone.
4.
I've been wanting to do more sketching just for fun and these little drawing exercises have been a nice way to get back into practice. Great for any skill level, even if you wouldn't call yourself an artist.
5.
I love this concept of "restored, not renovated" when it comes to houses. Really cool to see how they're bringing this house back to life.

As always, I'd love to hear what things you've been digging recently. Send any recs my way.
