My favorite type of party....

Cinco de Mayo just happens to be one of my favorite days to celebrate! So, of course my excitement has started already with it just a couple of days away. I'm thinking this week on my blog just  may have to revolve around Cinco de Mayo....I mean who doesn't love a good fiesta or margarita for that matter??! I am totally smitten with this adorable cake, how about you?

Cocktail Hour

Lately I've been on a search for the perfect bar cart to grace my dining room. This girl loves a good party, as you know, so don't you think I need to be able to serve up a cocktail at a moment's notice?! Right now our bar supplies are stashed in a cabinet I cannot reach without a step stool, which just isn't working out for me anymore. I absolutely LOVE this bar cart....now if I only could find one around town that looked just as good....

Vintage Details

 

I am crazy about these over-sized spindles, that is the right name for them I hope?! I just can't ever get enough of vintage details.  This tablescape is absolute perfection in my book...

Happy Weekend!

Happy Easter!

I love this simple yet beautiful display of eggs. I haven't dyed eggs in forever until recently when I was putting together a centerpiece for a photo shoot at work. However, I've never dyed eggs naturally like the ones photographed here. Have you ever tried this? You can check out all the details here.

I'm Back!

If there is anyone left out there still reading my blog, I'm sure you've been wondering where I have been!!?? Well, life has been pretty busy since February. My hubby and I took a belated first anniversary trip to Thailand and Cambodia and it was pretty AMAZing! Here are a few of my favorite photos from our trip...

If that wasn't enough excitement for the month, upon my return to work I received a promotion...whoop whoop!! I'm officially now the photo stylist for Celebrate magazine.  This new position has been keeping me very busy, but I am having a blast! If you need some entertaining inspiration, you should pick up a copy!

Confetti Table Runner

I'm loving this festive DIY confetti table runner! It is an easy way to spice up the table for your next dinner party. Are you thinking about hosting friends over for Valentine's Day? Combine this confetti with a gorgeous arrangement in pink hues and you will have the perfect tablescape!

How will you be celebrating Valentine's Day this year?

Have you forgotten me?

 

I know...where have I been right??  I guess the holidays took more of a toll on me than I thought! I can't believe it is almost the end of January already, which means Valentine's Day is just around the corner. I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day, but my sweet tooth sure is...hello red velvet and cream cheese cupcakes! Not only do you look super delish, but you are beyond cute! You can get the recipe and also download the arrows here.
