October Around The Web

November 5, 2016

Hello, friends! Between family obligations, weddings, and work October flew by. So while a bit delayed, here are a few of my favorites this month. First, I am SO excited to share that I am featured in Southern Weddings Magazine Volume 9! While it's official debut isn't until November 10th, the cover has been revealed. I'm thrilled at how the feature I contributed to turned out, and I'm eagerly awaiting being able to share more details!

While Halloween has passed, I loved this DIY from Think.Make.Share. I can totally picture a Christmas version (or even Thanksgiving)
I baked my first ever pie this month! This recipe turned out perfectly.
This definitely gave me a few ideas for additions to my own pantry...

Apple Cider is one of my favorite parts of Fall, and this Spiced Bourbon version looks delicious.

September Around The Web

September 30, 2016

Happy Fall! I know September is a little early to be thinking about my Christmas list, but Grace Bonney's new book In The Company of Women is right at the top. I'm very jealous of everyone who gets to go to one of her book tour events in October. Here are few other things I stumbled across this month:

We tried this salad this month, it's delicious! Perfect for Fall.
Speaking of cooking, this Cast Iron Skillet is calling my name.
Tthese elaborate wedding cakes by Bottega Louie are stunning!

This was such a fun Think.Make.Share. workshop to participate in!
So many possibilities with this Marquee Light from Oh Happy Day

Personally, September was full of visits from friends and time spent focused on creative renewal at work. Hopefully you found some inspiration this month as well!

April Around The Web

April 28, 2016

I hope you all had a lovely April! This month was much anticipated, and full of surprises and spontaneous decisions. Here are a few of my favorite finds around the web this month:

Letters Are Lovely | April Around The Web: Sugar & Cloth for Hallmark Signature

I love seeing some of my favorite bloggers creating cards for Hallmark Signature! Take a peek at Sugar & Cloth's line for Mother's Day
An interesting take on a Fourth of July wedding (I can't stop obsessing over the palm backdrop)
While I definitely don't need another necklace, this one from J.Crew is very tempting.
My husband Dale and I are planning a late anniversary trip to Nashville in the fall, so I don't want to loose track of this city guide from A Beautiful Mess!
Such a dreamy nursery. Nothing better than pale pink, swans, and a paper flower installation.
I have been a longtime fan of Emma Watson, and these quotes are pretty spot on. Especially this:

“Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it’s a process. I was completely the eager beaver in school, I was the girl in the front of the class who was the first person to put her hand up, and it’s often not cool to be the person that puts themself out there, and I’ve often gotten teased mercilessly, but I found that ultimately if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in—even if it makes you vulnerable—amazing things can and will happen. ”

— Emma Watson

Personally this month I was able to spend a weekend in Lawrence with my mom and sister while Dale visited his friend in Boston. I love being back in my college town, and even got to stop in the new Wonder Fair location. I also purchased a painting this month from my mentor, Lisa Rogers, show. I can't wait to get it home! This weekend I will be reunited with my girl friends for a Bachelorette Party, which will be the perfect end to the month. I can't wait for more springtime adventures in May!
