Natalie Bowen Studio

CW paid a visit to floral designer Natalie Bowen's studio in the Dog Patch district of San Francisco. She loved the open space of the studio interspersed with "certain moments of "nook & cranny" usage of space". And her friend got to sit down with Natalie and talk about floral arrangements for her wedding. An aesthetically productive weekend indeed!

From the Studio: Leaky Wednesday

Ok...so I guess if we have weekly Happy Cupcake Fridays at our Cat Seto studio, we're bound to have an annoying "Leaky Wednesday" right? Thanks to Cadenza and Freya, they were able to stem the water heater leak and prevent any damage of our paper goods!

These coral cufflinks by Odette are the perfect gift for your man to wear over the holidays.

Post Halloween Pics

I'm late in posting these, but thought I'd share some pics from our little Halloween team meeting last Friday (we were quite sugar buzzed from all the treats, no pun intended!). Below are two of my creative and industrious interns in their bat/bee costumes.

Damdesign

Damdesign pendants are for the love of paper and light...

We're having a Halloween staff party today and will be sure to post pics next week. In the meantime...a Frankenstein softie cupcake to toast all of you a Happy Cupcake Friday and Halloween!

Elle Doran

Designer Elle Doran brings whimsy and fun with these fun all purpose trays. I'd love to set one on my endtable or hang a set of them on the wall.

Susan Bradley Design

I really, really want one of these Susan Bradley rose or ivy "creep" shelves for the wall. They look like delicate paper cutouts!

Happy Cupcake Friday

Disposable Carpets

Tired of your rug and want to recycle it? I am love with this idea of disposable "cardboard" carpets by Wendy Plomb (via DesignBoom).

Astrid Land

These fluid dresses by Astrid Land have Fall written (or should I say painted?) all over them.

Happy Cupcake Friday

Yes, it's Happy Cupcake Friday. And nope, I don't have my posts all switched... that chandelier you see is really an installation made entirely of rock sugar! Yum. This was on exhibit at the De Young but I only caught it via Atelier 29.

Happy Cupcake Friday and weekend everyone!

Ditte Hammerstrom

This is definitely an elegant step up from your collegiate throw-a-flannel-blanket-over-couch days! These slipcovered settees are from Ditte Hammerstrom.

Blaue Blume

Pretty clever...or should I say pretty and clever? I love that cake plate by Blaue Blume
which is perfectly sized to fit one "large" slice of cake in between the lace.

Cupcake Friday

Whimsical cupcakes at Cococake (and great decor ideas for baby showers)!
Happy Cupcake Friday and weekend everyone!

Dolfin Chocolates

I love Dolfin Chocolate bars as favors... Their packaging is beautiful with a vast array of colors perfect for baby showers and weddings. So beautiful in fact, I couldn't bear to eat mine!
