Perfect Colors

My heart went a flutter when I saw these magnets. Dear Studio Fludd, these little magnets you have here would make the perfect brooche. xox

Aren't these just the most adorable little planters you've ever seen? What a sweet little face to grace your windowsill.

Have a wonderful & happy weekend!

Surreal Type

Lovely and inspiring illustrations of typography by Alex Anne Mackenzie. They remind me of Dali's work; very beautiful, and maybe a little bit eerie...

Happy Holiday!

I hope you all get to have some good ole summer times this weekend! Hopefully a little beach time, run through some confetti, or eat some delicious cake. And most of all, get to spend this weekend with some of your favorite people in the world.

Have a wonderful July 4th weekend and be safe!

Stitched Porcelain

A friend recently bought us these salt and pepper cellars as a housewarming gift and they couldn't be any more lovely in person. They are precious and I absolutely love Rae Dunn's botany vases!

Sweet Monday

When it's smoldering hot outside like it is in NYC right now, the only thing I want to eat is sweets. A constant source of eye candy for me is Hello Naomi. I think she creates some of the most original and well designed fondant creations out there. Browsing through her flickr site, I came across some of her most recent creations - the fondant heart balloon atop the simple white cake, held up by stacks of artfully decorated cupcakes is perfection in my opinion. I was also really drawn to her little cupcakes with the cutest liners I've ever seen. And lucky for us, she shared the shop where she bought them! Even though the shop Little Betsy Baker is from Australia, it's still a fun web visit with some great tutorials by Hello Naomi herself! Enjoy!

Rockin'

Our daughter sure is one lucky little gal. Last year shortly after she was born, our dear friend, and Lyla's honorary "uncle" Mike Perry gave her one of his custom drawn Eames rockers. An Eames rocker is a classic, timeless design, but then add Mike's amazing drawings to it and it truly is a work of art. Luckily Lyla shares it with us. She's just too sweet.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sunday Suppers Logo

Have you seen the new Sunday Suppers site? I'm so happy that it has finally launched, and it looks fabulous!

I wanted to share with you the logo I created for Sunday Suppers. Last year, shortly after Karen had her first Sunday Supper she approached me to design the identity. I came up with many logos, but this one was the keeper and I'm super proud of it. I can't wait to show you the rest of her branding materials that I designed at a later time.

Amanda of Hi Design (& 100 Layer Cake - I know, talented lady right?) designed the new Sunday Suppers site and it looks absolutely fabulous! I feel so lucky to be associated with these talented gals!

Layers of Pretty

Beautiful wedding bits from British designer Jessie Chorley's line called Mon Marriage. All of her designs have a lovely nod to the past, yet beautifully thought for today. I love her way with texture and pattern.
