The month of looooove…
February 1, 2010
Happy February!! I can’t believe how fast January went by! It seems like only yesterday I was ringing in the new year in Brooklyn, wearing my fancy crown and sipping on champagne. Well, we are now finished with the month of celebration and new beginnings and on to the month of loooove. Since Valentine’s day is closer than you think I thought I would lead you to some fun artists on Etsy with printable valentines for you to purchase. Cause not everyone has time (or enough creativity) to make their own (and the valentines they have in the drugstores are LAME). Here’s some super cute ideas for you to consider….
English Muffin Shop’s Valentines Day cards… so cute!!
Love vouchers from MissusDPaperie
“You’re a Hoot!” and other Valentines from Green Apple Paperie
A fun Valentine’s Day Mouse Stationary set from Happy Papers
All of these handmade Valentine’s (and more!) can be found on Etsy. Have a look and choose your favorite! ♥♥♥
The Quarter-Life Cooks
February 1, 2010
Do you know Phoebe and Cara, the Quarter-Life Cooks?
They’re 2 twenty-something ladies living in New York, cooking in their kitchens, and writing a great food blog about their adventures. The two friends post all sorts of recipes from cooking for one to cooking for many all from their teeny tiny NY kitchens. They give all the details of their gatherings: the party size, ingredients, special tips, and always a recap of the event itself. I just love these girls. I wish I was their friend so I could attend one of their Park Slope parties! (Beck and Bails, maybe you could get the in with these girls?) Looks delicious and so much fun.
Check out their blog and see for yourself: Big Girls, Small Kitchen. Whether your in your quarter-life or not there’s something for everyone.
I WANT.
January 31, 2010
I was twittering the other day when design*sponge told me about a clothing company called Spool No. 72. One look at their website and I was in heaven. There pieces are well crafted, “a unfussy classic American style”. I LOVE. I WANT.
Have a look at these items of clothing I discovered
(you will want them too):
“A delicate blue and white pinstripe silk is the perfect base for a bright embroidery.”
“A soft cotton base is the sweetest backdrop for delicate embroidered and beaded details. Three button detail front, darling stitch pockets, and the sweetest stretch sleeves.”
As you may know, I am not allowed to buy these precious clothes (although the urge is almost unbearable). But just because I can’t buy certainly doesn’t mean I can’t look. And, really, I’m just doing you a favor letting you know about these gorgeous items in case you have the desire to buy them for yourself (or for me). ♥
