Todd's 30th Birthday

I just got this Postcard from my college friend Todd.
Best mail I've received in a loooooong time.

Blanket Forts

How cool is this article on the fine art of blanket-fort-building?

lemonade

For me, nothing embodies summer more than homemade lemonade. This lemon juicer has been my best friend lately, and the best part is that I've trained my preschooler to do all the squeezing!

Ginger O's

Most addicting sandwich cookie ever.

Did you know that there's an insane amount of lovely peacock-hair-ephemera out there?
I've had peacocks on the brain, and I've been seized upon with a desire to find a tasteful peacock-themed wedding or bridal shower to look at, and while I haven't quite succeeded, I've found tremendous potential.
If I just revealed that I'm insane, please keep it to yourself.

milk glass

I happily came to the realization today that there are entire etsy shops devoted to vintage milk glass.
Someday I intend to have quite the collection.

Bertazonni Range

I think I need one.
Inasmuch as one can need extravagant things.

Timeless Vixen Vintage

This etsy shop has the COOLEST vintage dresses!

{Perfect} Peter Pan Party

This little party made it all over the interwebs back in spring. It couldn't help it, it was a perfect party. All other little parties will forever pale in comparison. If ever I didn't want to grow up.....

Layer Cake Shop

Speaking of parties, Layer Cake Shop recently opened with a site-load of perfect baking accoutrements. They have a sweet "ideas" feature coming soon!

Yellow Party

I loved this yellow party.
Gee, I wonder why?

Okay, actually that just brings back bad memories of how every job I delegated to someone else got screwed up. (Picking up balloons... forgot. Icing the cupcakes.... they looked like they'd been sat upon.... bad day.)

Bee party

The thing I love most about this bee party is that it wasn't just planned to look good, but to be fun too. Sometimes I forget that part, myself.
