I am in love with this charming Valentine’s Day card from Eva Juliet, hand lettered in both French and English with an assortment of pet names and proclamations of love. Eva is an art director, graphic designer and illustrator from Quebec and I just adore her whimsical illustrations and lettering. This card is blank inside …

By now you’re probably catching on that I’m a huge fan of stylist and blogger Chelsea Fuss of {frolic!} – I love her eye for color and detail and her designs and ideas are always completely approachable. At any rate, the winter days are starting to feel a bit gray here in Upstate NY so I …
I love the idea of giving a personalized hand stamped copper guitar pick to your musically-inclined groom on your wedding day or even as a sweet token of affection for Valentine’s Day. Each pick is hand cut, hand stamped, filed, sanded and lightly polished to achieve the beautiful finish and can be customized with song …
Ok, so this week’s Puppy Love feature is too cute for words basically because Lulu here is easily the world’s most adorable French Bulldog. Ever. Lisa Green of Anderson Green Events sent me these photos of her darling Lulu who was only a year and a half old when Lisa got married. Lisa had a …
I am in love with this girly birthday party designed by scissors paper cake and thought it would be the perfect way to kick off your Monday morning. It’s bright and happy and full of sweet feminine details inspired by a fairy garden. Butterfly sugar cookies, pink cupcakes, a garland of paper blooms, paper lanterns, …
If all goes as planned later today as we sort out some more details, there is a good chance my husband and I will be spending our weekend packing up our house in anticipation of becoming homeowners in a few weeks.

Ohhh to create such pretty food and flowers and crafty projects and take such amazing photographs. Now that is talent, folks. But I digress. One of the things I love most …
Today I am loving these pretty pink baby shower invitations. They were laid out in InDesign and then created using an inkjet printer, a sewing machine, Japanese paper charms, and little scraps of tulle, tissue and cupcake liners. Aren’t they incredibly sweet and charming? Perfect for a baby shower to welcome a little girl. I …
Check out this pinch cake lemon mousse strawberry trifle recipe over on Tartelette. Doesn’t this just look like sunshine and happiness in a pretty cup? I always say that my tolerance of dreary winter days runs out on or around January 15th, so the sight of these perfectly ripe strawberries has me dreaming of berry …
Ok, it’s confession time. I’ve never been big on Valentine’s Day. For all of the girly romantic in me, Valentine’s Day has just never been an occasion I’ve gotten too excited about. Actually, it has always been more of an excuse for my mother to buy my sister and I sweet little cards and flowers …
I’m pretty sure a lot of us could talk about weddings all day long. At least, I know I could. (Ok, and admittedly, I often do.) But at the end of the day, the big party is really all about the marriage. I’m going to come right out and admit that I’m one of the …
