i feel like throwing a party....

and all these things are making it real hard not to....wooden cake stand! love it. (via oh joy!) tulips (via posie gets cozy) don't make my heart melt the way that ranunculus or iceland poppies do, but i think they make a great centerpiece. tea tins (via hostess with the mostess) are the 'vases' i debated using at my wedding. and brunch (posie) is the 'theme' of the party i'm most wanting to host lately...

yo summer time, where you at?

true inspiration.....

could you die?? i melted when i saw this wedding tablescape....hanging glass bottles with single bright stems, and a rustic buffet.... and the bride wore a floral-print dress!!! (her mother's wedding dress!) my heart got so happy upon viewing this wedding on 100 Layer Cake...

hi, spring..

i love photographs of dandelions. i never tire of them. reminds me of my tattoo which is on my back so i don't get to see if often enough.

the perfect day off....

bagel with lox & the works, hubby by my side

a successful shopping trip: came home from americana (fun to be there on a quiet weekday admidst drizzle) with one shopping bag from each: forever, h&m, anthropology. Don't think I spent more than $100, either

lunch at home on a cold day: creamy tomato soup (store-bought) cheesey quesadilla with spinach, grilled onions, cumin (home-made)

plus i have the cutest cats in the world

So, is that a peanut butter and chocolate fudge cupcake that i spotted on A Cup of Jo?? holyyyy moly.
