Real Summer at China Camp





Two weekends ago, sick of the foggy days in the city, my girlfriend Aya planned a summer picnic out at China Camp in Marin. It was wonderful to finally get a chance to hang out with Cat and her beautiful family. Warm weather, good food, great company... what more could a girl ask for on a lazy Sunday?

Of course we had to end the day with a group shot of all three moms posing with their kiddies...

chewing the cud Down Under


We have been coveting this adorable store in South Australia for a while now, and we couldn't have been more thrilled when Brown Paper Packages started carrying our fabric wraps!

We are mad for their red-striped teepee!


And how yummy are these square floral baking cups. Tie an apron on me right now...

Speaking of baking...patterned cupcake flags!

and these are a few of my favourite things... oh we ♥ Brown Paper Packages...

The $50,000 Christo and Jeane Claude “Art Edition” Book


There is no denying that Christo and Jeane Claude's installation pieces have astounded the world over the years. Yes I do love their work. Yes this book is befitting for showcasing their larger-than-life thinking and grandiose production scale projects. But at $50,000 for a book? Yikes!

YAY we were so thrilled to see Erica and Abe's wedding featured on one of our favourite blogs: 100 layer cake! They are such a fun and sweet couple, and it was such an honor to collaborate on their save-the-dates and invitations. Kudos to Grace Edmands for the beautiful calligraphy. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Coffman!!
