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

I think I've found the solution for my bad habit of not eating the "apple" in the caramel apple:
caramel apple CUPCAKES! Via Cake Crazed.

Happy Cupcake Friday and weekend everyone!

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!

Dare Devil Tattoo

I still recall fondly our little tattoo field trip when an anonymous staff member decided to get a tattoo of one of my designs. Well, I was sufficiently blown away when I saw the work of Amanda Wachob of Dare Devil Tattoo in NYC. Those paint strokes are gorgeous.

Happy Cupcake Friday

Gloomy colored cupcakes? Most definitely not...they're Earl Grey flavored from Crumbs and Doilies and sure to wake you up!

Happy Cupcake Friday and weekend everyone.

Wedding Tins

I love these tea tin favors by Heather Donahue complete with personalized hang tags and labels. If you don't know already, we have an affinity for tea tins...

Wedding Menus

This was featured on Design Sponge and I loved the refreshing and creative take on wedding menus! Just dial a filet mignon and dance the night away...

Cabbage Centerpieces

...and if you're looking to create a cabbage centerpiece, Real Simple has got the DIY.

Happy Cupcake Friday

by Bukbut

I remember as a kid I'd get spooked when I saw clusters of mushrooms that popped up overnight on the lawn after a rainstorm. Well this is one mushroom cluster I think I could handle...

Happy Cupcake Friday and weekend everyone!

Matchbook Candles

How many times have you been caught empty-handed without a candle for a birthday cake (or in our case, cupcake)? Thought this was genius...a Five Minute Candle by Poketo. They come in a matchbook case so you can carry it in your purse or wallet and whip them out for impromptu celebrations. Genius.

Wear a Villa on Your Finger

This is for all of you workaholics out there. Can't visit Italy or Paris this year? Well then why not wear a villa or the entire city of Paris on your finger while you burn the midnight oil. Via If It's Here It's Hip.
