I need shoes!!!


If money was no object I would be buying these beauties. Their Tory Burch but they must be older because there not on the website. Their about $90 which is probably way less than they were originally. I'm not into gold too much but it's the holidays which practically screams for this color. Oooh and come to think of it, these would be perfect with my wedding dress. Hummm, maybe I'll go see when the bidding ends.

beautiful bouquets

I haven't put much thought into the bouquet so far but I think these look really nice.


Ooooh I can't decide, I like them all! This is going to be tough.

My mother and I went fabric shopping today for my wedding dress and I think we found just the right pattern and material. It's going to be fabulous!!!

color, color, color


I love, love this simple and I'm assuming very inexpensive centerpiece for an outdoor summer wedding . Stella Alesi Photography

This gorgeous picture is from blogger Heather Bailey her husband is a photographer but I think she's pretty good also. The little yellow flowers are so adorable. I'm not sure the real name of these but when we were at New Seasons awhile ago they were being called "Billy Balls" so that's the name I'm sticking with.
All I can say is WOW! Love the green.

I just want to jump into this picture and twirl around, it's just so magical and fun-tastic!

Lets here it for cake!

Sorry about the lighting on this photo but the light is getting worse for taking good pictures. This is my Devil's food cake I made yesterday, and it was soooo good.
I've never made a cake from scratch before, at least that I can remember. It took the better part of an afternoon but defiantly worth it. This would make great cupcakes, the sour cream makes the cake really moist.

Cake for November!

I found this picture on a wedding blog awhile ago, I wish I knew which one. All the cakes look so delicious, and gorgeous on their beautiful cake stands. So today I'm attempting to make the yummy devil's food cake I saw on the Martha show yesterday. It's cooling right now so I'm planning on having pictures to post tomorrow.

BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy official Halloween!
For awhile now I have been saving images that I find interesting from the internet, so I have decided to start posting them and share with you the things I find pretty, colorful, crazy, original, and just plain fun. In honor of us almost having a first home of our own, here are some pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow's Hampton home. I love the fresh, clean look. I don't know if I could actually live here but it sure does look nice.

I would love to have a kitchen like this, but with a little more color. The chandelier is amazing. I have some plans for some not-yet-purchased chandeliers of my own.


The print and patterns are so visually appealing. The crown is very Queen of Hearts, or London whichever you prefer.

Happy Halloween........

Well almost. We went to a party Sunday night, this is me as a nerd or as some people like to say as myself. I'll take that as a compliment, thank you. We had so much fun, our friend who had the party went all out on the decor. His whole house was a big spooky cave with scary spiders and skeletons around every corner. Everyone really did a good job with their costumes, I almost won for the funniest but was beat out by a keg, well someone dresses as one anyway.
In other fun and exciting news, we just found out this morning that our offer on a condo was accepted so it looks like we will be having Christmas in our very own place. NO more looking and wondering and hoping, it's finally here. I'm just so excited, all the years I've been thinking and wanting a place of my own now it's really happening!
I thought I would share this hilarious picture from Thursday night. It was my friend Amanda's birthday in the middle and we went to a female impersonation show at Darcels in downtown Portland. It was so funny, all thesse big men dressed as women would come out and sing songs, or rather lip sync to them. Darcel who is on my left did all the comedy. It was fun to hang out with the girls and I mean ALL the girls, I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. We were seated at the very front just inches from the stage so to say the least we got a lot of the guys I mean girls attention.
