|| merry christmas oh ten ||

i love cards

making them, receiving them, buying them, sending them & keeping them 

I fell a bit behind this year but couldn't let a year go by without making 

another ode to another incredible year 

as usual, my card was filled with pictures of perfect moments 

and friends I'm lucky to have. 

merry christmas oh ten...

cheers!

|| wall decor ||

my favorite way to hang christmas cards from friends near & far

|| snowflakes & ornaments ||

We needed a little color above our table during the holidays...

|| photo wall love ||

We have a blank hall in our entryway that's screaming to be decorated. My roommates and I all have different loves and ideas but with photos, it's hard to disagree so a photo wall is in the works. 

THESE cute clips are on their way, then the fun begins!

|| pink, white & tan ||

I've always been drawn to blues & greens

but times are changing... 

I can't get enough of my new favorite color palette

pinks, whites & tans

I think it's time for a room re-design

do you like?

|| happy birthday hilary ||

birthday parties are my absolute favorite things to plan

there's nothing better than getting a group of friends together

to celebrate over a delicious meal and if you're in New York, 

the Sweetiepig at Sweetiepie!

sponge cake, whipped cream, bananas, strawberries & 18 scoops of ice cream! 

delicious! it was the perfect venue for hilary's birthday.

so expect great things...

we've got some great ideas and we're excited to share them with you. 

so stay tuned....and as always, stripes are our favorite.

|| the letter f ||

growing up, we had a wooden letter f on our kitchen wall 

for fernholz or fern or fernie in my case

i've always loved it and have always wanted one of my own...

while shopping in my always favorite, kates paperie the other night

I came across a giant cardboard f and couldn't resist

a day later with spray adhesive, aluminum foil and a free hour

my letter f was complete and hung on the wall above my bed

fern would be proud.

|| blooms ||

One of my favorite things about planning events is the flowers I get to order...

these are simple but they were the perfect touch to a great dinner at the new trump soho.

|| bookbinding 101 ||

I love creative friends.  There is always talk of getting together and working on fun projects...

but it's mostly been just talk...until now!  Thanks to Kristin & Co. we made it happen.  

I've been dying to learn bookbinding so a few of us got together, and made these lovely pamphlets...

it's amazing what you can do with some thread, a needle and leftover paper. 

They are PERFECT for love notes, poems, or any other desire your mini pamphlet loving heart desires.  

Next month we're working on a coptic binding...stay tuned.
