The Sweetest Occasion

I am making a rare weekend appearance to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! With today being a Saturday, I’m sure there will be a lot of amazing Halloween weddings and parties today, so I thought I’d share one of my favorite Halloween inspiration boards from the always creative Kathryn of Snippet & Ink. I wish [...]

I can hardly believe I’m lucky enough to have two long weekends in a row, but it’s true! This morning instead of starting my day with a cup of coffee while I catch up on email, I’ll be grabbing coffee to go and wandering around Chicago visiting and exploring. I get to spend time with [...]

Do you ever have one of those days where you’re reading along, minding your own business, and find yourself gleefully grinning at your iMac unexpectedly? Such was the case when I saw these perfectly cute and spooky halloween sugar cookies on Annie’s Eats. These little cookies instantly had me in the Halloween spirit! I think [...]

I just had to share these vintage-inspired tablescape images from the beautiful blog Morning by Foley. I have no idea of what she speaks (the blog is written in French after all), but it sure is pretty! If you love those cute little paper flags, which are so gleefully stuck into just about everything in [...]

My lovely friend Anne-Marie of Perfect Bound made a comment about another sweet friend of mine, Erika from Delphine, on Twitter last week about how “everything she touches turns to pretty.” I was so taken by that simple observation, because it’s so very very true.

This week I’ve got another completely adorable Puppy Love feature to share with you. Charlie is the beloved little pup of Ami from Elizabeth Anne Designs. When Ami and her husband Scott celebrated their tenth anniversary with a beautiful vow renewal celebration last December in Atlanta, including Charlie in some way was a high priority [...]

I posted this birthday party, the first birthday celebration of little Madeline, a few months ago on the Smock blog for our Smock Real Party feature and since then it has remained one of my favorite events. It’s both eco-friendly and completely adorable, with all of the details lovingly designed and crafted by Madeline’s mom, [...]

Things are a little slow moving as I get settled in after the nicest long weekend in the mountains. We baked, we hiked, we went for pretty runs along windy tree-lined mountain roads and played board games for hours. I’m a little reluctant to find myself back in the real world, but I do hope [...]

By the time you read this, I will have been blissfully cut off from the world of internet and Blackberry service for over a day. I’m spending the weekend with my husband, and our seven bestest friends stowed away in a rustic cabin on the edge of Lake Pleasant in the Adirondack Mountains. No tv. [...]
