I was delighted to stumble across the Flickr photostream of Elena Karelova recently. Elena is a St. Petersburg-based photographer who shoots weddings, portraits, travel and of course, food. Feast your eyes on these lovely images and get inspired for the weekend ahead. Happy Friday!
Today’s “find” was actually discovered via a post on Decor8 earlier this week. A spread on tarts in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living caught Holly’s eye, thanks to the gorgeous and highly unusual styling. Created by Japanese-born and San Francisco-based artist Miyuki Sakai, those “plates” are actually hand-made illustrations. Created with a sewing machine and thread. Can you even believe that? As a food lover and keen sewer, I’m all over this idea:
Miyuki has some lovely work in her portfolio, too. I’m loving all these gorgeous “drawings” of produce, treats and beautifully laid tables:
And with that, I’ll leave you to enjoy your weekend. Happy Friday!
Today’s “find” is a bit of a cheat, I’ll admit. Confectioner Whimsy & Spice is the featured seller on Etsy today, and I noticed their lovely photos as soon as I clicked over there. The Brooklyn-based business is run by a husband and wife team; Jenna is the designer and photographer and Mark the pastry chef extrordinaire. Unfortunately they can’t ship internationally (for obvious reasons), but my mouth is definitely watering while looking through thier shop.

If you’re interested in these lovely images sans calories, the couple also plans to open a photography shop, Sweet Fine Day, soon.
Ok, so Jennifer Causey‘s Simply Breakfast blog isn’t exactly a “find”. Her daily and atmospheric photos of mouth-watering breakfasts are the stuff of internet legend, after all. But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some on this lovely Friday morning, does it? Have a great weekend, everybody!
