When the incredibly lovely Anne of The City Sage posted photos from her wedding on Friday, I knew I had to share. Luckily, Anne was a doll and sent over some photos so I could give you a little taste of all the pretty details she created. My favorite part of this wedding is the …
It is becoming evident that I need to start dabbling in some of the more traditional crafts such as knitting, crocheting, cross stitch and embroidery. Every time I see something created truly by hand I find myself wishing I had that talent. So perhaps it’s time to start honing my skills? When I spied these …
I do believe that the lovely Myra of Twigs & Honey can do no wrong. Every piece she creates is a bit of magic, a truly lovely work of art. The latest pieces she has created take it to a whole new level. She has painstakingly hand-dyed, cut, painted and sewed every last petal of …
Wow! I can’t believe it’s Friday again already. It has been a really busy week juggling lots of fun projects and continuing to jump through hoops en route to home ownership. (I honestly had no idea this process would be so complicated. Yikes!) As it turns out, this weekend is also jam-packed with activity. I’ve …

Through today, 100% of online sales will be donated …
Without my prior knowledge or consent, it appears it has evolved into Valentine’s Day week here. Well, let’s just say that I loved this DIY Valentine’s Day gift idea over at The Lettered Cottage so much I couldn’t resist sharing. I’ve mentioned more than once that my husband is an English teacher and I’m a …
I bookmarked this recipe for homemade vanilla extract a few months ago, but was jut reminded of it when Joy put together a little recap of her last two years of blogging as Joy the Baker. If you do any baking at all, you probably know how expensive a good quality vanilla extract is, which …
If this pink princess tea party doesn’t take you right back to your childhood, I don’t know what will. I adore this party. With balloons, frilly dresses, tiny tea pots, cupcakes with ample sprinkles and pretty princess tiaras, it’s a little girl’s dream come true. I have to say that I am truly an advocate of …
