William & Kate
April 28, 2011 § Leave a Comment
This household has royal wedding fever. We’ve watched William & Kate on Lifetime, Wild About Harry, the complete footage from Charles and Di’s wedding, and then some. We have champagne, orange juice, scones and clotted cream in the fridge prepping for the festivities. What’s more, Travis is just as eager as I am which makes this whole royal wedding that much more enjoyable. Last night, we were talking about cheesy wedding souvenirs that we were pining over. For me, I’d love a mug with their faces on it. Travis mentioned he’d love a t-shirt. Instead, this print on etsy by Susan Taylor Art will have to do because I just snatched it up! It’s quite cute, no?
Available on etsy here.
Do you have royal wedding fever? Are you going to watch the nuptials?
Spoons as business cards
April 26, 2011 § 3 Comments
Just wrapped these business cards for a chef client! After posting a photo of these spoons that I printed, she came to me wanting her business cards printed on the spoons. Brilliant! I loved her idea and had a ton of fun printing these out of the box “cards.”
Cookies

If you know me, then you probably know my mom. And if you know my mom you know she’s Martha Stewart. Truly, there isn’t anything the woman is not good at. Cooking, baking, sewing, crafting, designing, floral – you name it, she’s conquered it. In her newest endeavors she has decided to take up sugar cookie baking and decorating. I wanted to share some images of cookies she has made as of late. They’re amazing – and delicious, on top of that. She has baked and tested several recipes, tweaking them to her liking. Visiting my parent’s house these days is very exciting as my dad, Travis and myself all get to taste the “rejects.” She has started a little business making these cookies – which are perfect for presents, favors, events, etc. Her biz is called “Tillie’s Treats” (Tillie has been a long running family nick name for her). Contact me if you ever have a sugar cookie need!

Remember the Save the Date I designed for Anna? She made these as favors for her bridal shower.
Back from Valentine’s Day, they’re like little works of art.
Travis and I got these for Easter. So pretty!
Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I hope you have a day full of chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, family, friends and love. As for me, I’ll be spending the day with my family and watching Easter Parade, an absolute favorite. What will you do this Easter?

Have a sweet weekend

I hope you have a sweet weekend, friends. As sweet as these lilacs smell that are growing in my backyard. Aren’t they lovely? I never thought I would enjoy gardening, but I love it, in fact. Do you garden?
This weekend I will be celebrating my husband’s 28th birthday on Saturday and the Iranian wedding of my friends, Anna and Amir. Then Sunday is Easter! I can’t wait! What will you do this weekend?
Book it!

How cute is this Save the Date from Carrot and Stick Press that I recently did the calligraphy on the envelopes for? I love the idea with the books and the fact that it’s an actual book mark!
I’ll take it all

While reading A Cup of Jo last night, I noted in my head a post she wrote about cute party supplies. I always love to look at cute party supply websites so I hopped over today to Shop Sweet Lulu, and, well, I want it all! Do I need these things? No! Do I want it, yep! Here are some of my favorites:
Now I really want these. Trying to think of something creative to do with these berry baskets. The color, yes yes yes!
Glass bottles a la like the ones your milk man used to deliver. These would be amazing accompanying a late night bite at a wedding with warm chocolate chip cookies. And perhaps the milk spiked with a little Baileys? :)
Multi-colored plastic vending capsules, need I say more? Stick these in a basket on the way out of your par-tay with a goodie inside for amazing favors.
Giant balloons, enough said.
Some of my other favorite party and craft supply shops to peruse are:
Now get out there and get creative and throw a party for someone you love, or heck, yourself!

Oh goodness gracious, I am in awe of this glorious Duchess Lace Cape from BHLDN. That little hoodie in the back is so sweet. If only my wedding were this year, not last!
