It’s that time! We are signing off of the blog for our annual summer holiday for just a few weeks. We will see you here again on August 8th. Already looking forward to it!

Meantime, here are just a few of my favorite summer posts from our years here at 3191.

We will miss you but hope you are enjoying your summer days (or winter days if you are in that sort of hemisphere). You can keep up with us on Instagram during these holiday weeks too if you like. Cheers! xo

Hey there, it’s time for our annual 3191 summer break. We have been taking a few weeks every summer for a few years now, and I love it as I am always able to return with renewed interest and vigor with lots to share from our summer adventures. We will be back in this space on August 8th.

In the meantime, you can still find us on Instagram where we share photos every day, and in our shop.

I want to send you off into summer with something cool, so here’s a recipe for our latest fav popsicle. These have gotten us through a week of HOT weather here in Oregon.

Watermelon Lime Mint Pops

4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (about one small watermelon)
juice and zest of one lime
2 tablespoons chopped mint
1-2 tablespoons sugar (depending on the sweetness of your watermelon)

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if you wish. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until firm.

Enjoy summer!
