We love this project and think it is so unique and different from anything out there. Check out our shop and the details here! Send one to your sweetie!

When Nick and I were in New York last summer, we were so happy to be able to meet two of my clients for a lovely little dinner. I was thrilled to see their wedding featured in New York Magazine! It took place on Blue Hill Farm, an amazing looking venue for a wedding. And don't you just love her dress?!

These little monogram cards were commissioned by a friend for a Christmas gift, but I can't help but think how sweet they would be as a bridesmaid's gift or a surprise for a newly married couple. Monograms always seem so sweetly old-fashioned to me. Don't you think? Such a tangible symbol of the joining of two names and lives....
One of my absolute favorite parts of being in San Francisco last week was visiting the amazing bakery, Tartine. I have had the Tartine cookbook for about a year, and have loved all the recipes I have tried, including the addicting crackers pictured below, but nothing could have prepared me for the amazingness of visiting it in person. 
We had to wait in a line outside for quite a while before we got in the door, and by the time we got to the counter to order, we had to make decisions extremely quickly, and unfortunately, we got overwhelmed and went a little crazy, as you can see from the top photo, ordering a banana cream tart, a slice of quiche, an eclair filled with vanilla custard, a chocolate croissant, meringue cookies with cocoa nibs, coconut macaroons, iced coffee.....it was so lusciously decadent. The atmosphere was bustling and friendly, the decor was rustic and a little indie, all at the same time. It was a perfectly appropriate way to eat on the final day of 2008, with resolutions for much healthier consumption in the new year making up most of our conversation for the next hour. It was so worth it.

Here are some lovely gray envelopes I just completed for a bride across the country...opaque or lined envelopes always take much longer because of the necessity of hand-ruling each one and then erasing the line once the ink dries --thus the extra charge per envelope! Result? A perfectly straight address.

Nick and I had an absolutely amazing trip up the Pacific Coast Highway over the last week. What a beautiful way to start the new year...Happy New Year, everyone!
