I know... I know.

A cool vid with 2 cool people.



I love the setting and odd happenings goin` on. I've, also, been posting some daily web findings on my tumblr. <3 hearts.

I am thankful for...

store bought pie & home-made whipped cream.


It only took a couple of minutes.. . . . With my hand held mixer (and whisk attachment), I blended a half pint of whipping cream, until it thickened slightly. Then, I added a tablespoon of powdered sugar, a dash of vanilla extract, and continued mixing. When you pull the whisk away, and see the soft peak..  the whipped cream is ready! Just enough for one pie.


This was a great ending to a fun Thanksgiving with my family. And a wonderful start to this holiday season. I'll be back soon, with a review on a fantastic film, I saw this past weekend.

Take a stand.

Earlier this week, I awoke with the yearning for... .an awesome cake stand. My love for cooking ( and all things kitchenware ) has led me here. I think it is a definite necessity in my home, and hope to, one day, stumble upon the ultimate vintage find. For now, I've found a few great D.I.Y.'s. The latter, of the three, being my most favourite! Afterall, I do <3 trees.

The possibilities are endless, and a cake stand always adds a bit of "oooh and awww" at little gatherings. But who even needs the party? Just shrink it down to a saucer size, for the ever so beautiful "single cupcake stand". I'm in love with this one, I spotted over at Etsy. .by WhitneySmith. The color is very eye pleasing. "thou shalt eat cake!"

i think i'm in love.. .again.

Just couldn't help, but share, the latest oncewed d.i.y., by Anna Bond (of Rifle Design). What a fabulous twist on the ever-so-popular pom pom. Anna rocks!

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.

stop motion + Wes Anderson =

I love anything that involves, my hero, Wes Anderson. He's written and directed some of my most favorite films- the Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, and (one of my all-time #1`s) the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. The story, humor, and slight bitterness in his films inspire me to "WRITE MORE". .and his movie sets!? breath-taking.

You can imagine.. I jumped with joy after viewing the trailer for his latest flick, Fantastic Mr. Fox. The film`s based on the book by Roald Dahl, of the same name. I've been hearing about the cartoon, for awhile, now. And was pleasantly surprised, to see (in the trailer), that it's been made in stop-motion animation! ~can't wait (hearts)

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~
