Things I Love: Kiss Painting!

Saw this fun little video this morning on one of my favorite blogs: Mucho Mucho Bueno Bueno.

How cute is this?

Things I Love: Crocheted Bikes!

Seriously? This is one of the cutest things ever! Crocheted bike covers by Dutch company: Simeli. If it was bike riding weather I would totally get in on this! Maybe if I start now, I can make my own crocheted bike cover by next spring...haha...maybe.

Sugar Town

On this freezing, miserable day I am going to pretend that I am in Sugar Town (wherever that is) with Nancy Sinatra. PS how awesome is her outfit? LOVE.

Food Rules

My own food rules are pretty similar to what Marion Nestle writes, which are never to eat a food with:

More than five ingredients (too processed)
An ingredient you can’t pronounce (ditto)
Anything artificial (ditto)
A health claim on the front (these are always about marketing, not health)
A cartoon on the package (it’s being marketed to kids)

I'm loving this chart instructing you how to eat. It's not that complicated!

New York City feels like the inside of a snow globe today.

This summer, Hubs and I spent quite a bit of time traveling around Scandinavia and had a particularly amazing time in Norway. This lovely and snowy wedding is the perfect blend of cozy and traditional Norsk (which is pretty cozy anyway!).

Stay warm xx

What I'm loving right now...

Just a little post to ease back into blogging...

After a challenging several months it's time to get back out into the world.

And what better way than window shopping for pretty things!

Words of Wisdom

This beautiful quote came from one of my favorite blogs Seeds and Stitches:

"If there were any words of wisdom I could pass on to brides/grooms to be it would be this; The most important part of the day is about making this insane (and it is insane) lifelong commitment to each other, of declaring your love to each other amongst the support and love of your family and friends around you. And having a good party. The other stuff, the details are secondary. Not unimportant,especially if you are a creative person, but secondary. And marriage rocks. It is incredible. But it isn’t easy. However,If you are both willing to look at yourselves in the mirror sometimes and say 'I'm being a stubborn twat' (really, very important), and if your both willing to compromise and talk it out, really talk, about everything, then in my experience the best is yet to come."

Cheers Hannah! Well said :)

Wedding Favors

Ah, the wedding favors. We wanted to give our guests something that they could actually use while keeping true to our barny, homemade theme. I really really wanted to make my own hot sauce and jar it up to give as gifts but in the end we didn't have so much time. We came up with the idea of honey in jars.

We sourced the honey from a local farmer - something like 8 gallons in total (8 large jugs)
Then we bought 4 oz. glass jars and pewter lids from an online candle supply co., and I got to work designing round labels that were printed on sheets of avery label paper, each one cut out with a circle cutter.

Once we had the honey and jars in hand, we began filling them one-by-one with a ladle with help from our roommate Charlie.

Success! The honey was a hit and no jars were left behind.
