Things that make me happy today: beautiful & creative decorations for special parties. I am so in love with the styling designs of Ashley Meaders. {swing & fabric hearts made for max & margaux's sweet & original wedding... and her pretty paper mobile for a pancake party}.
I adore these playfully illustrated posters by Tinou le Joly Sénoville. Each detailed Bird & Insect displays their colorful, quaint charm. Created to decorate a kid's room, I think they would look equally sweet in a work studio (mine)! Available online at Smallable.
...stella & dot! I've had a great time designing with the talented creative team at stella & dot for awhile now. And am happy to show off the Fall Lookbook, full of gorgeous jewelry that takes a fresh spin on vintage styles and offers a bold look to feminine pieces. Whether it's an amazing statement necklace or a more delicate look, you can find it all. Shop at stelladot.com.
I love nothing more that a hot summer day, only to jaunt around in a cute flirty dress and sandals. So as the temperatures in the bay area are rising, I am inspired by my summertime loves. {love the jar flower display & a good outdoor lunch spot, photos by Polly Wreford. Lemon fresh goodness by local jam maker Shakirah Simley . Vivienne Westwood's Bale Sunday dress. Happy amusement park photo from angie nan. Love to live in sandals, the morgan shoe by Seychelles. And weekend getaways, photo of luggage by the fancy lamb.}
Too much computer usage can turn me bleary-eyed. So I love this idea. It makes me want to get a sewing machine right away and create some new & pretty things. {poster by Gergana Plummer via share some candy}
We are heading out for our long weekend. This is always a special time since our wedding anniversary falls on July 3rd. We've planned a relaxing getaway, and it's exactly what we need. Have a happy & safe weekend. See you next week. {pink fluffy goodness from here. And our engagement picture from July '03 taken by Mei Tao}
I just celebrated my 35th birthday yesterday, and it made me recall that it was about a year ago this time, I first started my little blog. The original intention was to blog almost daily, and I think I did pretty well in the beginning. If it seems that I have dropped off at times, it was probably in large part to some unexpected hurdles life has given me this past year. Through it all, I am ever-thankful for my partner in life, Philip, & my family & friends who have been by my side (both physically & from miles away). And now as I embark on my own personal new year, I wish for all happy things- and more frequent blog posts! {Cutest cake in a teacup photo via sara's party perfect.
