After an unexpected hiatus I am back! As I mentioned in my <a href="http://cravenmaven.com/2011/08/what-a-difference-a-decade-or-two-make/">last post</a>, visiting friends, family and a naughty little hurricane grossly upset my usual blogging { and all other } habits. Now all the bags have been packed, planes caught home and my abode, time and all else are mine again. 

Although primarily offline for the past fortnight I did manage to read, save and forward some of my favourite edible links and present a few of them to you today:

1. I love my cloud cookie cutter from <a href="http://shop.herriottgrace.com/product/cloud-cookie-cutter">herriott grace</a> and was well pleased to see a how-to for making <a href="http://fortysixthatgrace.blogspot.com/2011/08/tutorial-ice-cream-clouds.html">ice cream clouds</a>...ahhh bliss! The perfect goodbye to summer. 

2. This outdoor dining, camping, rompus featured on <a href="http://www.kinfolkmag.com/2011/09/02/into-the-wild/">kinfolk's blog</a> caught my eye. Rugs, bird sculptures as centerpieces, teepee's and romper suits..this looks like the sort of fun memories are made of.

3. Some lovely pictures of Captains of Industry on the ever reliable <a href="http://thedesignfiles.net/2011/08/captains-of-industry/">design files</a> blog has me desiring to fly to Melb for a flat white. 

4. The most delicious looking oat and cheesecake slices on <a href="http://www.blueapocalypse.com/2011/08/oat-and-cheesecake-slice.html">blue apocalypse</a> will sure grace my kitchen before the Autumn is through!

5. Uncle Beefy is back with a stellar <a href="http://thebedlamofbeefy.blogspot.com/2011/09/whole-kitchen-kaboodle.html">round up of kitchens</a> and eating spaces that reflect great design, tactile eclecticism and elegance. 

6. The latest issue of <a href="http://www.puregreenmag.com/magazine">Pure Green Magazine </a>graced the interwebs - this shot of an outdoor cup of coffee invoked the feelings that rush through me when I have the first sip of my morning joe.
