Do Tell Tuesday on Diane's Vintage Zest!

Say hello to my fellow co-hosts too!

They are all lovely and talented, so pop on over and say hello!  Now, let's get to the party!   :)

Now normally, I would be picking some features... but you know I have been MIA!  I did want to share the most viewed link with you, so here goes!


Join Dunkin' Donuts' DD Perks & Get $5!

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dunkin’ Brands. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

DD Perks Promo #MC #DDPerks on Diane's Vintage Zest!


So you already know this, but I love my sweets!  When Dunkin' Donuts announced they were coming to California, it caused a huge stir and I was so excited to try out my new hometown shop.  In fact, you may have heard that there were lines around the block with old and new fans alike!  I'm still figuring out my favorite item on the menu, so I'm due back for many return trips.  Do you have a fave?

So what am I sharing with you today?  If you are lucky enough to have a location nearby, you might already know about the DD Perks program.  If not, let me give you a quick rundown.  It is especially good for everyone who makes Dunkin' Donuts a part of their normal morning routine, and peeps like me who are menu explorers!  Also, there is an extra perk for everyone who signs up by December 5th, that you'll definitely want to hear about!

Shop Small Saturday!

Today is one of my favorite days during the holidays... Shop Small Saturday!  Haven't heard of it before?  Well, here are a few reasons why you should shop small!

Are you ready to support some incredible makers and artists now?  Well, take a gander at all of the previously featured shops and be treated to some truly original gifts for your loved ones... and yourself!

There are so many awesome items to shop in the categories of: Crafted Gifts, Bags, Purses & Wallets, Men's Clothing, Delicious Artisanal Foods, Jewelry, Children's Clothing, Home Decor & Accessories, Paper & Stationery, Bath & Beauty, Accessories, Women's Clothing, and so much more.

Happy shopping!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Remember that slightly irreverent, silly girl who liked to cook, craft, sew, travel, and blog about it all?

Here I am!

I have so, so many new things to share with you and I cannot wait to get to it.  But first, we'll have to take a break because it's a holiday and we should spend time with our friends and family with LOTS of food.  I'll catch up with you later, but in the meantime...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Unique & Delicious Burger Recipes!

This week I am sharing a few unique and delicious burger recipes from linkers at Do Tell Tuesday and myself!  Each recipe is slightly different than your regular old beef patty, so I hope you enjoy picking out your favorite to grill up for what's left of summer.  :)  And honestly, maybe the last two can't actually be considered burgers, BUT you will definitely enjoy them!

Before we get to the round-up, remember to link up at tomorrow's Do Tell Tuesday party because next week I will be featuring... FRESH recipes!  That's anything that is cool, light, and fresh for summer, maybe to accompany one of these awesome, burgers?

Now, to the recipes!
