Sno-caps, a must have for the movies

Vases

The couch we ordered matches the red in this set of vases from Pier 1. The colors are a little weird from the camera flash, but I think this will be the color scheme for that room.

Gardening Gloves

My new gardening gloves

The last three things Adam has given me after saying "I bought you a present!" are: these gloves, a snow shovel, and a water heater. Well, he didn't actually give me the water heater, but he told me it was a present.

I didn't bother taking a non-blurry picture, because I was hungry.

Baby Shower Brunch


























My Mom made the cutest table centerpieces. The flowers in the pots are made out of rolled up baby socks and onesies. I got the daisy pops from Smeeks for each place setting.

I catered a baby shower today for a family friend's cousin. I did a few hor d'oeuvres and these cupcakes. I made the little flags with toothpicks and japanese masking tape.

Pretty new refrigerator

I loved this refrigerator, until I realized how it shows EVERY SINGLE FINGERPRINT.

Birthday Brunch


























Today is Georganne's birthday. Cass and I surprised her with a birthday brunch at our apartment. We had asparagus and red pepper frittata, tossed green salad, fruit, croissants and brioche toast with mascarpone cheese and boysenberry preserves...and of course, mimosas! She's hosting an Oscar party tonight at her house! Can't wait!
