Fred's + yummy candles

Today I had a shopping day with my mom and grandparents and for lunch we decided to eat at Fred's in Barney's Scottsdale.


It was yum and not crowded (why, I have no idea) so I will now be making it one of my new lunch spots. If you're local you should go. The service was great which is always a make it or break it for me.
While I was there I fell in love with the Modern Alchemy candles History Lesson gift set. With fragrance names like opium den, dia de los muertos, speak easy, ex libris and boston tea party they all hint at their perfect blend of warm, spicy and not too sweet.

Take a trip

I feel like going on a trip but until then I'll just have to contain my wanderlust to a few trip worthy items.

No trip to Paris in the near future? Don't despair you can wear the Eiffel Tower instead.



Wrap a package in a map, maybe it'll give your honey a hint.


Find the perfect swimsuit that will accompany you to the nearest warm beach.

If all else fails head to your nearest boulangerie, nothing a few croissants can't cure.

Make it :: Candy Buttons

One of my girlfriend's did a Cute as a Button party for her daughter's first birthday and I know if she would have seen these molds to make candy buttons she would have done it in a heart beat. Bake It Pretty has the molds and some pretty cool pdfs to make your buttons the perfect favor.


So cute.

I actually made this set about a year ago for The Invitation Lady and thought it needed one more go round. It is almost Valentine's Day after all.

I heart you

PS

Oh and while we're on the subject of Williams Sonoma I really think this acorn twine holder would be perfect in my stocking at Christmas this year.
{Hint hint: Honey that's for you. I know you think it's silly but you know how I like little kitchen pretties.}

My weekend

Yes I'm here! Sorry for the no Monday post. I'll fill you in on my weekend and then we can start fresh. This is what we've been up to. Since it's SO hot here, too hot to play outside midday my Big and his cousin set up a tent in the play room made a campfire and grilled up some mini-corndogs.

My little got a new bed. Yes he's three and just got a big boy bed but he never tried getting out of his crib. Honestly it was probably me who had the harder time switching him. He loves it. I can't tell you how many times he told me he loves his big boy bed.

My Big decided that I deserved a nice picture this time (taped to my bedroom door of course).Then last night we went to Big's Meet the Teacher for kindergarten at school. I'm very happy to report no anxiety or worries it was great. I think all my worrying by me was done earlier in June when he went to Kindercamp.

I just wish I had thought to bring some of these darling (and free) printables for Big's new teacher created by my sweet friend Kim at the TomKat Studio. Anything super exciting happen this weekend for you?

Linda & Harriet

Oh lovely Linda and sweet Harriet...how I adore your letterpressed papers. Your cards, tags and notepads are so lovely.

Surely I'm not the only one who covets pretty paper. Can I let you in on a little secret...I'm stingy with this stuff I never want to use it, it's all just so pretty.

Packaging Lust : Tea

My lust for pretty packaging rears it's ugly head. I have no idea if this tea is good but I love how it looks. I'll take one of each.

Father's Day

Do you think it will appear too obvious that this gift is for both of us if the hubs gets this for Father's Day?

Oh Cameo

What do you think one in every color?

Hearts and Rainbows

Finally right? Something new to read. I've had a super busy weekend preparing my children's Art Show fundraiser for their preschool. The preschool they attend is non-profit so I do my best to make it as awesome as possible. The past month and a half we have been framing art and getting donations from local vendors for raffle baskets and silent auctions. The whole school is a collage of kids art and it looks beautiful. With that in mind I have hearts and rainbows in my head and these goodies from Fred Flare would be perfect little stocking stuffers.








Get it all here and today it's 25% off.

Butterfly tags

I just love Etsy. Lately I've been in the mood to spend some time there browsing all of the goodies. I think these pretty tags would be perfect on a gift wrapped with craft paper and velvet ribbon.

I love the tableware by local Phoenix artist Christopher Jagmin it was inspired by his love of typography, I'm sure something we can all relate to.

I'm going to have to do this...

Think these would be too much for someone's birthday bash? I love 'em and would love to surprise a hostess with a stash just for fun.

Organization, here I come!

I always want to be organized but my secret is out, I'm totally NOT. A lot of my life is a series of disarray much to the dismay of the hubs. I wouldn't say every portion of my life is a disaster just the parts that are not usually seen by the outside world (office + closet). I have been salivating over the goodies at Russell + Hazel, they have all sorts of pretties to keep you organized.


I really want these mini-binders probably more because they're cute than the hope that they might turn me away from what I like to call organized chaos. Really though, who am I fooling?

Paula Hamilton

The platter by Paula Hamilton is gorgeous and sadly she doesn't have a website (yet) but good ole' HB did have a photo I could share.
