Cowboy onesie for my sister's baby shower

Cowboy Cookies - Favors for the Guests

The Mother to Be

Happy Friday! My sister's baby shower last weekend was awesome (see pics above). She loved every moment of it and she had a blast celebrating with her friends and family. I found the onesies on Etsy via The Applique Finery. She was fantastic to work w/. And then I saw these adorable Cowboy Cookie Mixes on Bakerella and knew they would be perfect as favors. We are all so excited to meet the lil cowboy (very soon!).

A dear friend of mine and her husband are in town from London this weekend. A bunch of us are heading to a friend's place tonight for a dinner party (we are having burgers and a topping bar and I'm making this roasted beet salad). I heard a rumor that cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes will be there for dessert = YUMMY! And then tomorrow night PFC and I are having dinner with my sister and her husband (one of our last nights out with them before the arrival of their little guy). We are heading to Prasino.

Enjoy the weekend. We are hoping to get a little apple picking in this weekend w/the kiddos as well.

And here are some of my latest faves.

• I've always loved owls. Here is my sister's owl bedding for their little guy. LOVE IT! And how fun is this owl wrapping paper.
• Caramel Corn Bars...need I say more!
• Great site if you are redoing a bedroom and need some inspiration.
• My wedding planner Katie of Dettagli Weddings posted this site called Plate (vintage plate rental). What a great idea!
• I love that the designers at Tea used Talavera Pottery as their inspiration for their latest collection. This pottery makes me think of my mom (who has lots of pieces of it) and their home in AZ.
• Happy New Year (Rosh Hashanah) to all my friends out there that celebrate it. Some notes from Gwenyth and some yummy recipes.
• My youngest sister and a dear friend of mine live in NYC. After seeing Joanna's (of A Cup of Jo) post on NYC's best restaurants I decided I need to book a trip.
• Very cute fondant cupcake toppers - beautiful.
• Pretty ribbon party ideas - love these!
• What a great bag!
• Kate Moss = such a Stylish Mom.

My Latest Obsessions

Happy Friday! Fall is definitely here and according to M and C it officially started on the 23rd. Lots going on this weekend - off to a dinner party tonight and then tomorrow I'm going to see a dear friend (who is in from NYC) for lunch and then a show/dinner tomorrow PM. AND my sister's baby shower is Sunday - so excited! We have a really cute cowboy theme going.

AND, exciting NEWS - Georgie is officially a WALKER! He has been standing and walking a step here or there but yesterday he took off! The girls were cheering him on - so cute!

Some of my latest faves...

• I used mason jars for the favors for my sister's baby shower and came across all things mason jar...!
• Interesting article on failure being the secret to success.
• The book Missed Connections takes classifieds from Craigslist. The author has a blog - and she illustrates various missed connections. Here is an example of one.
• I was chatting with someone about the Happiness Project. Interesting. Gretchen Rubin spent a year test driving various theories on happiness - the result = her book The Happiness Project. I like these ten tips for being happier. On a completely superficial note these cute flats would make me happy!
• I'm unsure how I feel about Rachel Zoe yet I find myself watching her show! She launched her own line - what did Women's Wear Daily have to say about it?
• I'm digging Pinhole Press. I used them to make a book with pictures from our trip to Montana. It turned out awesome. I think they may be my new go to for photo books.
• Some great coffee table books - love the colorful dictionaries. Speaking of dictionaries...M used the word chillax the other day (when describing what she and Georgie were doing). I laughed (out loud). What? Well, the word has made it to the dictionary.
• I kind of like these galaxy nails...may need to try them!
• Fall means new TV - I've been watching NBC's Parenthood - LOVE IT. Fun having John Ritter's son Josh back on the scene. Grandpa Braverman (Zeek) cracks me up!
• A pretty quilt.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Fall - Love, Georgie

Happy Friday (and Fall for that matter)! The temps have definitely fallen. The above pic was taken on our walk to pick up the girls from school. Love his new teddy bear fleece that he got from JuJu for his bday. We are seeing one of Peter's dear friends Saturday PM for dinner who is in from out of town and we are looking forward to a chill night tonight.

Some of my latest faves:

• Okay, I did snag the Missoni (for Target) flats just in time. This Missoni craze is NUTS. Amazing that their site crashed the day that they went live. I wonder if they are planning on restocking. I really wanted to try and snag one of the throws too but they are sold out EVERYWHERE!
• I LOVE calendars. I used to live by my paper calendar but in the last few years I have transitioned to Google's Calendar which keeps our schedule in check quite well. However, I still LOVE paper calendars. Linda & Harriett just came out with their 2012 letterpress calendar and so did Snow & Graham.
• This would make for a fun project - get an animal from Cardboard Safari and use some of Snow & Graham's pretty paper to decorate - to get something like this guy! Actually the wreaths are really cool.
• This gold Alice + Olivia dress would make quite a statement!
• I watched the premiere of Up All Night - pretty funny. LOVE Will Arnett from Arrested Development. And we watched the Series Finale of Entourage - pretty impressive that they tied everything up in 30 minutes! Here is a list of 20 cameos from the show.
• Pretty black tie dress from Orla Kiely for BHDLN.
• Even though it is getting cooler I thought this ice cream in a bag might be fun to make!

Happy Friday! Wow, FALL is definitely here. I love this weather. It is so nice to leave the windows open at night. Wishing you all a lovely weekend. And I'm thinking of all of those affected by September 11th. Amazing to think that it has been 10 years.

Some of my latest faves:

• My sister forwarded on this site - some beautiful scarves!
• I've been watching the Pioneer Woman's show on the Food Network. She talks about the Lodge a lot in her blog. How cool is the Lodge?! It would be perfect for guests.
• I'm kind of digging this dress from Anthro. Pretty color.
• These prosciutto wrapped figs look YUMMY!
• I'm making these Cowboy Cookie Mixes for my sister's baby shower (S - don't peak!). They are ADORABLE! Bakerella's How To is great!
• With the U.S. Open going on and all I stumbled across this article about some of the iconic tennis outfits of our time. How fun!
• It looks like Serena & Lily has teamed up with Hanna Andersson for a new line of PJs. LOVE THEM! Also, Serena & Lily has launched two collections for Entertaining!
• Interesting combo = Tom Brady + UGGS.
• And lastly, my good friend Jen has launched her redesigned website Blush by Jen. I love seeing a friend succeed and doing something she is so passionate about. She is super talented. Go JEN! Nicole of Design Womb helped design the new website.
