Erica Weiner is a jewelry designer that I have been noticing lately...noticing, because a local store 'Therapy' sells her goodies as well as I have seen her pieces in a recent Lucky magazine!!!! After eyeing her Ginkgo Leaf Earrings I made the 'leap' to purchase them this evening after I noticed that Lucky in conjunction with Erica was offering a 35% off coupon code for her site (luckybreaks5)....how could I not?? They are SO affordable and fun, not to mention beautiful! I can't wait to get them in the mail : ) Thanks Erica (and Lucky!!).

There's a few things we know about our wedding. One of them, is that we want CUPCAKES (yummmm) instead of a traditional cake. I (with much assistance from Danielle no doubt) will be trying out some homemade versions trying to find my personal favorite, we know Wes' (Double chocolate with cream cheese frosting...) and some other delights to expand people's choices!!! Here's what we're thinking :: Lavender and vanilla bean, clementine, coconut, lemon and of course chocolate. I'm not saying we'll have 'that' many options...but I want to try them to find maybe 3 or 4 that we can't possibly live with out!! If you have a favorite cupcake recipe please post it here...I would love to know!!

Some prefer dinner as their favorite meal...I have always preferred breakfast or lunch....I especially have a fondness for brunch, and every time I see a beautiful (and amazingly delicious looking) setup, I get the desire to have my own. Yes, yes, I DID just have a brunch and it was lovely...but I'm thinking maybe my friends and I should have a monthly brunch, simply for the sake of celebrating fun of the meal. Here is one I found on Design Sponge from the lovely ladies of The Jewels of New York, and ummm, well, this will be cooking up at my place very soon, if I have my way. Crab Souffle, Spring Salad with Lemon Tarragon Dressing, Classic Beignets, and Pink Grapefruit Cocktails....honestly what could be better?

We went out on the search for a dwarf citrus tree the other day...and I documented a little bit of the adventure! We didn't purchase a lovely little tree just yet, but found some fun goodies along the way. Wes had never tried a kumquat before...(um hello!?!) but I don't think we'll be getting a kumquat tree after I made him...he wasn't extremely fond of them...preferring a more 'practical and useful' tree like a Meyer lemon, or orange tree. I want something a little bit exciting, so we are leaning towards a blood orange, their new stock came in this Wednesday...which means we need to get packin' over there to pick up our new little green buddy!!! I'm thinking that a beautiful bright pot like lemon yellow, tangerine orange or maybe lime green!?! Fun, fun : )
