Megan and Frank were married on the front lawn of her brother’s house in a sweet celebration that recognized not only their commitment to each other but also …

This week one of the items on my to-do list is hunting down the perfect housewarming gift. When seeking out great gifts, I like to think about the person I’m shopping for and choose something they’ll love for a long time to come. Think a beautiful cutting board for the avid home cook, a growler …
Brunch. I am thinking it might be just about the best invention ever. How about you? I love meeting friends out for brunch and taking time to catch up, drink copious amounts of coffee and indulge in far more calories than I typically would. (Here in Syracuse, L’Adour is my brunch destination of choice. Their …
by Jenny Batt I have a favorite cake decorating shop here in Seattle that is jam packed with all sorts of goodies, but this weekend, when I popped next door to the bead shop, I found little metal pennant flags. These are some sort of gold metal and are used as tags in jewelry making, …
I can’t even tell you how beautiful it is in Syracuse today. The sun is shining, the air is so warm and the birds have been singing all day. I can’t get enough! So it’s probably no surprise that I have crisp, summer-inspired colors on the brain today. Right now I am digging these pretty …
Paper popsicles. They’re popping up everywhere lately and I’m completely loving them. Do you remember being a kid and running around on hot summer days slurping on popsicles? I do. I was usually barefoot with long tangled hair and skinned knees. Because that’s how I rolled. (For the record, that’s pretty much how I still …
TGIF and happy Fridays, friends! I have had the busiest week and am so very much looking forward to the weekend. This week was jam-packed with two photo shoots, a bunch of prep work for upcoming projects, dreaming big and some very exciting news about a future venture. So, in turn, this weekend is going …
Fair warning, things are about to get unabashedly pink around here. Because sometimes a girl just needs a hefty dose of pink to round out the week. So we’re just going to work with it, ok? (Don’t hate.) There was a period in my life where I avoided pink at all costs. But now? Now …
Obviously I love a good party and I’m always game for any excuse to dress up so I am loving this pretty look for festive spring shindigs. I find something totally irresistible about a flirty dressed paired with a great black blazer. It makes the look so versatile and allows a little extra coverage on …
The color blocking trend taking center stage this spring is, admittedly, one that took a little while to grow on me. But, grow on me it has. Who doesn’t love bright, bold punches of color? I mean, let’s be real here, color just makes me happy. From skirts to satchels, dresses to t-shirts, color blocking …

Supplies – a few skeins of yarn in different Spring colors scissors needle clear thread Wrap yarn around two fingers until it’s your desired …
Good morning and happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I thought I’d kick off the week with a pretty color palette inspired by muddy, moody neutrals. There’s a timeworn warmth to these hues that just feels really cozy to me. They remind me of old European streets lined with cobblestones and …
