plant walls . vertical goodness

Living plant walls not only provide a unique green aesthetic to any space, they also:
- Improve air quality
- Reduce pollution
- Reduce heat and cool ambient temperature
- Reduce the urban heat island effect
- Reduce noise (can act as a noise barrier)
They can also be incredibly portable.

thank . you . vera!

After a mini-vacation to New York, which included a whirlwind tour of Manhattan to find the perfect Mother of the Bride dress (during the Papal visit, I might add), Mom shared with me her delightful experience at Vera Wang. Not only did they treat her like a Queen, showering her with champagne and a plethora of dresses, but after hearing she was the Mother of the bride they presented her with a wonderful little package to give to her daughter and soon-to-be son. With great anticipation I opened the package and was thrilled to discover two delicate champagne flutes for the wedding. Thank you Vera!

pops . popping up everywhere

It began with a challenge by The Daring Baker and ended with 30 (and counting) varieties of cheesecake pops from some of the hottest food bloggers. These little cheesecake pops are not only delicious but fun to display at a party.

night lights . more is definitely better

Dancing, flickering flames casting shadows…beautiful glowing orbs of light – the romance of lighting at night is undeniable. From suspended candles to luminaries to lanterns, one thing is for certain, the more the better.
