Jul13 Don’t check your mail. 2012

Last week I opened the mailbox and found the new Pottery Barn catalog. It didn’t take me long to flip through it and find this. Now I’m obsessed with finding a black and white striped rug. Isn’t this room gorgeous?

Or how about this? Oh, books. I love you.

Like I said, don’t check your mail.

Happy Halloween!! If you are carving pumpkins this weekend, here’s a little inspiration to make you feel completely inadequate about your carving skills:

Wait. Martha? You mean two triangles and a half moon won’t cut it? Gah. I admit defeat.

I love all these cross stitch by Moxie Doll that I found via See Me Everywhere.

Oct06 Scarf Hunt 2010

I’ve stumbled across a few gorgeous Etsy scarves here and here, and on the hunt for inspiration, also found a great little DIY project from Purlbee as well! What a delight. As we amp up for the impending cooler weather, I’m on the hunt for scarves to bulk up my collection.

May21 Lemon Tartlettes 2010

My interns, Heather and Lauren, came over last weekend to shoot and style the desserts for our Mother’s Day Picnic, which you can see here, today on Grey Likes Weddings. They did an incredible job styling and photographing our details. The tartlettes were adapted from this Lemon Chess Pie recipe. Obviously we didn’t make the blackberry compote, per it’s inability to travel well. And I cheated on the crust…I totally bought store made pie dough. BUT, the filling was legit, so I totally recommend whipping some up this weekend. They were actually super easy to make!
