firsts

   I threw my first "proper" dinner party, last night. Even though I was running back and forth the first half, it was still lots of fun. I bake for friends and family all the time, but hosting a party is a lot more work. Plenty of practice for planning "The Wedding." I am hosting another one, for all my colleagues, in a couple of days. The attendance will be bigger, and I'm excited! 


   Some tips I learned: Organize all the decor and pretty dishes a few days ahead of time. Do not lounge around and watch the baseball game the morning of. Carry my camera the whole night. Prep, prep, prep! 

Closing time.

My chair was getting cold...

So, I gave him some socks.

did you hear?

Anthropologie is having a sale.. .some pretty good finds, if I do say so, myself.

productivity leads to success, for the heart.

i heart poufs.

Donna Wilson is super cool.. & with this lovely designed "pouf", she's helped me fall in love. The color and pattern, together, is just funky. Simple, yet modern.. with a bit of nature and whimsy thrown in.

You gotta check out her website, for more striking pieces. Like this sweeet pillow- another one of my favorites~

i need this!

I am in love with this maze shelf I found on elseware.to. will you be, too?
