i love the craftsmanship of each and every one of their pieces.

i love their beautiful father/daughter story.

i love the website.

i love that they're Canadian.

i love receiving an email, letting me know they have new goods for sale.

i have yet to procure one of these wooden pieces, but i will... that little cheese paddle makes me want to run for my credit card right now.

i do own three of these little porcelain pedestals and four of the dessert plates. they are truly lovely. even the packaging was so clean and pretty. i'm kicking myself for not taking photos before ripping into each happily wrapped gift. i guess that just means i need to order more items...

i'm fairly certain i need to have the ice cream cone roller. and the rolling pin {prettiest one i've ever seen.}

these just make me want to celebrate something. imagine this as a wedding cake topper.

please visit Herriott Grace's website and have a look for yourself. there are so many beautiful products to see. and buy!

xoxo

ps... this is not a sponsored post. i'm just sharing what i love!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:47:00 +0000

You just have to listen to this fabulous new song by Colbie Caillat. It is sweet and perfect for a wedding! It could be used anywhere, the processional, the recessional, first dance, in the wedding video...

Real Wedding:: Leslie + Randy

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:58:00 +0000

Michèle M. Waite has always been one of my favourite photographers so I was thrilled to see that she's been published on Martha Stewart Weddings! This Maine wedding of Leslie + Randy is quaint and charming and fresh and beautiful. The florals are exquisite, the dress is simple elegance, and the Ikea PS Maskros light above the deliciously fabulous cake is a lovely touch.

To see all the photos, visit Michèle’s blog.

Awesome Note to Self

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:07:00 +0000

Today is Thursday; there is nothing really special about this mediocre day of the week. Friday makes you feel an anticipatory sparkle of excitement and Sunday provides a warm squeeze of comfort. But how does Thursday make you feel? When I saw this fanciful graphic by Super Swoon, I decided that today should make me feel awesome. I'm going to be awesome. And here is my reminder::

Thanks to the awesome Kerry Doyle of the awesome Super Swoon for being so awesome and inspiring this awesome post!

Egg Press

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:27:00 +0000

Paper, paper, paper, I've always had affection for paper. Construction paper, notebooks, paper dolls... And, I've always loved cards, giving them and getting them. I just came across these cards from Egg Press, they are graphic and charming. Have a look here, then go to their website and browse around and shop. Order some cards and send one to someone you love. Then send one to me!

NestaHome Pillows

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 14:41:00 +0000

I'm loving on these fabulous pillows from NestaHome on Etsy. They have that rustic chic quality to them, they are personalized, and a little bit quirky. I could see them on the bride and groom's chairs, in the cocktail lounge, and wouldn't one of these be great as a gift? Love 'em!

Love, love, love!

Oscar Red Carpet Favourite:: Marchesa

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:10:00 +0000

I figured everyone would be posting all of the dresses from last night's Oscars but I just want to post photos of these two impeccably dressed women, Hailee Steinfeld and Halle Berry. They were both dressed by Marchesa... and I'm in love.

As I could see either one meandering down a wedded aisle I thought I would wander over to their website and immerse myself in the fluff and frill from the Marchesa bridal collection from last year.

Love it. Love them all. Love, love, love.

Flatware Fetish

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:42:00 +0000

I would not have said I had a fetish for flatware before today but, when I caught a glimpse of these babies, the fetish blossomed. Love these. Love!

I want to go to LA right now. The shopping, the weather, Disneyland, Hollywood, the celebrities and the Oscars are coming up next weekend. But really, right now, I would hop on a plane to get me some cake. Specifically, this six inch Chocolate Caramel Cake with Carmelized Rice Krispies from Cake Monkey Bakery.

And while I would love to eat this cake all in one sitting {I wouldn’t}, these adorable mini layer cakes might be better on the waistline {I would}.

Then there are their adorable and delectable snack treats like Yo-hos and Pop Pies and Inside Out S'Mores ::

And look how fancy! The application of Cake Monkey's cakes is endless. Showers, engagement parties, bridesmaid teas, rehearsal dinners, dessert buffets and favours. Deliciously fabulous.

Mother-of-the-Bride

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 14:29:00 +0000

Today is my Mom's birthday - happy birthday Mom!

In honor of her special day I thought I would post a few photos of mother daughter moments but it proved to be more difficult than I thought. i don't normally go in search of photos {because you never find what you're looking for} but the lack of captured moments between a bride and her mom was a little disappointing. There are plenty of moments of brides and their Dads walking down the aisle and sharing the first dance but Mom kind of gets left out. I'll tell you why I'm so sensitive to this, I'll always regret it, I only have a couple of candid photos of me and my mom from our wedding, we forgot to get something formal. So, let's use this as a reminder, make sure you capture all of those special photos of all the special people in your life.

I did find a few amazing moments::

Mom and Dad are in Arizona for the winter and I miss them both terribly - I can't wait until you come home! More!

BHLDN Shoes + Shoe Clips

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:45:00 +0000

The shoes. The shoes. The shoes. Of course, I thought they were going to be fabulous but the line of BHLDN shoes and shoe clips are absolutely de-licious! To borrow a couple descriptives from their website, you will find this collection flouncy and shimmer-kissed.

Accessories to come!
