A lovely little holiday.
Posted by on December 27, 2012
I’m back in action after a truly awesome couple of days celebrating Christmas. I got to see a little dusting of snow on the ground while visiting my parents in NY — which just makes the holidays feel a little more special, am I right? Vintage gifts seemed to be the theme this year, I gave my mom a vintage milk glass ice bucket with sparkly gold details for her bar, and she surprised me with an antique silver footed bowl, some shiny-brite ornaments, and teeny-tiny framed painting (the bow detail in the frame stole my heart). Hope your Christmas was just as lovely!
Holiday cheer.

I spent this weekend working up a little holiday cheer — from addressing stacks of Christmas cards, to tackling hours upon hours of gift-wrapping I can say that the Christmas spirit has finally arrived at our house. And now I’m super excited about heading home for the holidays — did you tackle any holiday tasks this weekend?

Handmade Holidays: Festive Bottle Stoppers
Posted by on November 12, 2012
I’m kicking of a new series: Handmade Holidays to share some crafty ideas for making DIY presents this year.
First up, some festive bottle stoppers! I bought plain, unfinished bottle corks in the kitchen section at Target and colored in the stopper with a silver metallic Sharpie, followed by a light brush of glue and matching silver glitter. Once they dried all you need is a drop of super glue to hold an ornament in place on top of the stopper! These took under an hour to make, and cost less than $10 to make the whole set — I think they’d look great tied to a bottle of wine for a hostess gift during the holidays!
Glitter and glue.

Scenes from the weekend.
Posted by on May 29, 2012
It was a truly relaxing weekend, filled with all the signs of summer. I broke out some Americana-inspired color palettes and a new white lace dress, all the girls in Boston have officially switched from Sperrys boat shoes to Jack Rogers sandals, and sweet tea vodka with lemonade was my choice concoction for outdoor drinking. Plus the very best thing about a long weekend? A short work week! How did you celebrate?
