On deck this weekend? Height-of-summer markets, three books we’re eyeing, statuesque flowers for the garden, and more. Read on:

- Going on this weekend in Maine: High Season Market, ft. many Remodelista faves.
- This micro cabin in New Zealand is made entirely of found and foraged materials (hat tip: Margot).

- Spotted: a convincing curbside offering.
- Calling all shell collectors.

- Marie has a new book out, Secret Gardens of New York, and it’s available for pre-order now.
