Have you ever tried a Cannelle? I have always wanted to try one, and had never remembered to look for them when I was out and about in Los Angeles, and it seemed even less likely that I would find them here in Houston. But on Saturday - BAM! - I found some!
So this, my friends, was Treat Number 1.
The next treat was adorable. My second treat was spotting an adorable little Herb Stand. At our local Farmer's Market, these two little boys were selling fresh herbs - complete with a gingham tablecloth and their own hand-written signs. It was definitely a treat to see!
Treat Number 3 popped up shortly after that when I received something I had purchased from Etsy in the mail. It included a lovely little extra gift as a thank you, and you should all know me well enough to know that I love surprises!
Treat Number 4 was tonight. Brian prepared a lovely dinner, slow-cooked throughout the day to perfection. I love it when Brian cooks!

Was your weekend a treatful one?

I don't mind that its not a word... I think you should invent it! :) Love the crock put yummies! :)
I love weekends! They are always "treatful" to my stomach:) Love your slow cooked treat illustrations!
I think "treatful" should be a word because every day is filled with them!
My weekend was filled with organic blackberry gelato and finding a great new pair of shoes!
I had quite a treatful weekend, including chocolate goat cheese from the farmer's market with fresh berries. It was delicious!
My treat was a chance to spend time with friends and family after a stressful week. Love the herb stand. I can see why that would be such a treat.
Sounds like a lovely weekend! I just found your blog and am really enjoying it.
Also, I recently found cannales in the freezer section of Trader Joes, it was all I could do not to eat them all at once!
Snap!
I felt it was my week was full of treats- and since it was a lovely week I added on by making some more...
and since it was so nice i might just go ahead a do some this week
My weekend was less than treatful. Saturday was alright: Alex and I watched a movie (Defiance; very good) had coffee on a patio, and then roasted a chicken for dinner.
But yesterday I spent almost the whole day in bed sick and had to miss out on visiting our friend Tony to watch Mad Men. I did get some knitting done, but that didn't really make up for how ill I felt.
I'm glad that you had such a lovely weekend! Slow cooking, yum!
your weekend sounds delightful! wish I had a cooking sweetheart!
Yes, my weekend was very treatful! Hiking with the kids, backyard BBQ with friends, lazy mornings... treatful indeed.
What a great word...treatful. Being with my fiance is always a treat! My weekend treats:
I found a wonderful pair of American-made running shoes.
I purchased supplies for my next exciting project, which may or may not involve opening a second Etsy shop :)
I received a request for an entirely custom order on Etsy!
We got a crockpot and ingredients to make a tummy vegetable stew.
PS I meant "yummy" stew ha ha!
i love making up words (i do it often) :) your treats sounded yummy. my treat this weekend was my fiance making eggs benedict which is his specialty and sooo good. also yummy red wine, fried calamari out at a restaurant. all in all a fine and "treatful" weekend!

my weekend was treatful - my last weekend with my boyfriend before he went to new york this morning for 2 months... sniff!
I love that word, treatful, that you've created. Your weekend does sound treatful! What is a cannelle? Never had one...
Mine was treatful in that I had a delish ice cream cone, moose tracks (vanilla, fudge swirl, mini peanut butter patties). YUM!
your cannelle looks a lot like canelet which is a little french cake from Bordeaux. and they are so yummy!
your blog is a real wee treat!

Hmm, my weekend wasn't so treatful. But restful. Which I desperately needed. Sunday was the first day in a month and a half that I didn't have a thing to do. So, I did NOTHING :-)
mmmm ... I made, photographed, and then ate some cupcakes this weekend! lucky me!
love the photos and illustration of your treats!
you have such a cute blog.love your illustrations.especially "Fairy Tales aren't only for Little Girls".that one is amazing.

I had a great weekend. I cooked an awesome meatloaf. This is the first meatloaf I've cooked since I've been married. My hubby claimed that he hated meatloaf because he ate so much meatloaf as a child. So out the blue the man asks me to cook a meatloaf this weekend. Weird but I was glad because I love meatloaf. He helped me prepare the meal and we had a blast.
We also had the opportunity to meet Aaron Eckhart this weekend. Very nice guy.
Yes, indeed! Cannelles rock!
Love the word treatful!! That's my kind of word!
Those pics look delicious.

=o me lovey treatey!
this post reminds me that one of my friend promised to treat me beccause he was graduated last august, hmm... =d
the herb stand is so cute! :D
The best day is a day full of treats! I had that yesterday, I got an early birthday parcel (I had to open it - I could not wait) and I had a fantastic thrift shop treasure hunt, then made cupcakes with my girls.
Morning, I love the word treatful, that is what weekends are about for me!, have a sweet day! x
Yummy! Looks delish!
Your treat filled weekend sounds divine. I think I could go for some hot chocolate even if it is 1000 degrees outside!
It wasn't nearly as treatful as yours, but I was able to enjoy half a tub of Ben and Jerry's and a really good stir - fry ♥
I think it's a perfect word! Sounds like a wonderful weekend, indeed!! I had a lovely one as well... visiting our friends' new baby girl, Rosie, having my dear friend over for breakfast on Saturday (a puff pancake - yum!) and going to breakfast with hubby on Sunday. It was a treatful weekend for me, too!! ;)
