Inspiration Monday_ May 31st

Better late than never! We just spent a wonderful holiday weekend in my hometown with my family. My brother flew in from Boulder, CO, my mom got married and we had beautiful weather! A. and I just got back to our house now and I had forgotten that it was actually Monday and I almost [...]

Friday Link Love

Any big plans for the holiday weekend? I’m going back home because my mama is getting married! She found out recently that she got a 2 year position teaching on a military base in Spain and leaves in August so her boyfriend proposed 3 weeks ago and now they are getting married! Hopefully I can [...]

Something Lovely: Ice Cream Art

So my peach ice cream didn’t work out so well last night. Peaches weren’t quite ripe and the whole thing didn’t quite freeze. A. said it looked like and had the consistency of mashed potatoes, but tasted like peaches. We love both peaches and mashed potatoes so it worked out deliciously for us… but not [...]

Sneak Peek… Introducing the Bridget!

I’ve been running all over town looking for peaches (I know they’re a little out of season) and mascarpone cheese so I can make some homemade peach ice cream this afternoon. I finally found everything at Whole Foods (of course) and the ice cream is churning away. Yummmmm…. In the spirit of the delightful ice [...]

Sneak Peek… Introducing the Lexi!

All of my products (with the exception of the dish towel) are named after important ladies in my life. This apron is named after my fabulous sister-in-law Lexi! June 1st can’t come soon enough!

Lovely Gifts for a Picnic

I don’t know about where you are but we are having GORGEOUS weather this week.  End of May and we’re pushing 90 degrees today! Granted 90 isn’t that comfortable, but you always have to get excited for the first really summer-like days. I’m still hard at work in my attic (which will be like a [...]

Sneak Peek- Merrion Tote!

I’m busy taking and editing photos all week for the Etsy shop– 6 days now! So each day for the rest of the week I’ll be releasing a photo of a product (there’s 36 items though so you won’t see them all!). While I’d like to think that I’m doing this to get you all [...]

Something Lovely for Baking… Squirrels

About 6 years ago my family adopted a squirrel for a day. It was Mother’s Day and we were working outside in my Mom’s garden. We watched as a few squirrels chased each other around with another tiny squirrel following a few steps behind. My mom told us that she had been watching him for [...]

My Bittersweet Peonies….

Today is the big photo shoot day for my shop photos! My incredibly generous brother-in-law let me borrow his camera to take some product shots when I realized that my camera was terrible. My equally generous friend-graphic designer-photographer extraordinaire is coming over today to help me set up the photo shoot. I figured that I [...]

Inspirational Monday- May 23

I had one of those wonderful weekends where you are productive on the “must-dos” (Like I must paint the chair rail and I must buy more thread) yet you still find time to hang out with friends and family. It was a weekend that reminded me that even when things get completely crazy you can [...]
