I adore these invites! Little Miss Press is the best thing that has happened to design in a while. It is a mix of vintage, quirky and fantastic which is what I look for in personalizing an event.
After discovering Little Miss Press (thank you Kristin), I have done a bit of a googling and read nothing but the most pleasant reviews! Everyone raves about her unique sense of style and how she makes your vision a reality. Little Miss Press offers calligraphy for the additional personal touch.
I was just scrolling through the blog and correct me if I am wrong but I haven’t shared any photos from my trip to Minneapolis!! I can not believe this to be honest because we had a fantastic tine and by the way it was a freezing (weather was -5). Spring is fast approaching and I think this is my last chance to show pictures of us frolicking in the snow.
I am so excited for the weekend on another note. I have a few shots to share of Mexico still! I guess tho can wait till next week. Enjoy your days off!
Here are a few photographs from my latest discovery – W. Scott Chester photography! These photos are so beautiful, they capture the intimacy of the wedding and every detail. I must say I am very pleased that i have this bit of inspiration!
I love Mango’s retro inspired line for 2011. It is chic and girlish. I plan to buy several items. What do you think?
Last week, I was blessed with the chance to see the Balenciaga and Spain exhibit & hear the genius of Hamish Bowles! I was blown away.impressed and in awe. It is a delight to him speak – he is so passionate about fashion, I must say I left sincerely inspired. Mr. Bowles had so much knowledge and understanding of Balenciaga and his work. I learned that much of Balenciaga inspiration came his native country, Spain, his faith in religion and the intricate costumes of the Matador. Balenciaga created truly beautiful clothes. This exhibit has undoubtedly become my favorite. I was lucky enough to snap a few pictures as I viewed Balenciaga and Spain. I do hope you like what you see and do visit the de Young before it leaves!
The weather in San Francisco is perfect right now. It is an easy 70 degrees! After all of the rain we have had, I am seriously ready to wear summer dress and sandals. Ok..enough gushing about the weather – Today we have Kim from Desire to Inspire to share her wonder list of Little Luxuries!
Kim from Desire to Inspire:
Having time most evenings to be able to cook a decent meal (and in a decent kitchen now that it’s been gutted and redone).
Spending time with my cats (any or all 7 of them).
Being able to buy a funky pair of boots online, just because I felt like it.
Hanging out with my nieces and nephew (this is Gianna, my younger sister’s daughter).
njoying some goodies from a bakery in my ‘hood (Art Is In Bakery)
Receiving a parcel all the way from Australia, from my blog partner Jo, typically filled with fun thrifted finds.
Finally having a cottage in the family (thanks to my younger sister and her husband) that we can hang out at on weekends.
ps. Happy Birthday Mom!
Blueberry Crisps! …probably one of the easiest and most flavorful yet simple dishes I have made in a while {ok maybe ever}. They are tart, buttery crumbly and soft all at once. What more does a girl {or guy} need? I find that you can eat it for almost every meal: breakfast, lunch and dinner..its all purpose dish. I think we finished it in a single day.
Ingredients
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup butter
3 cups blueberries
1 tablespoons lemon juice
Mix together the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and milk. Cut the butter into the mix, and knead into the flour until it begins to look like course crumbs. Squeeze some of the mixture in your hand, it should stay intact and form a ball, but should break apart easily with your fingers. If it won’t stay together, add more butter. If it won’t come apart, add more flour. Pour half of the mix into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Press down firmly until it forms a crust.
Toss the blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice together. Pour the berries over the crust and spread evenly along the first layer. Sprinkle the rest of the crust mixture over top and lightly press into another layer.
Bake in the oven at 350º 30-40 minutes, or until the crust begins to brown. Allow to cool, and then cutheck out the Cozy Kitchen for the recipe.
Happy Friday! The week has gone by fast and I am thankful! I have decided to share a recent and perhaps blurry photo of my baby nephew, Ollie!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
