Sunday Evening Cozy

Sunday Afternoon Tea

Doug brought me back this beautiful tea set from Japan and today we decided to actually use it (too delicate to use?) and we made some buttery coco blanc from the Leland Tea Co. in San Francisco.

Lounging in Bed

It's Sunday morning, Sunday morning, Sunday morning.

New Tumblr Account

I've started a tumblr account to post all of the wonderful inspiration that I find for my upcoming wedding.  Feel free to follow me on a wonderful adventure though the next eight months to find the perfect outfit, decorations and paper ideas to make this day the happiest (and most stylish) of my life.  Follow the link below to tumblr.

Holiday Decor at Anthro

Holiday shopping is here!  If only I had money.

Fall Walk

SEPTA is on strike which means I have to walk to school.  The walk takes about an hour and this morning was so sunny that I had to take pictures on my walk.  There really are a lot of pictures so here are some highlights.  I also took pictures on my walk home when it was cloudy and started to rain.  THis is at 4 pm... the sun is really setting much earlier now.

Pumpkin Cupcakes!

I don't really like cupcakes... but I bought the Martha Stewart Cupcakes book for Doug's birthday this year because he really likes red velvet cupcakes.  I've been looking to make something with pumpkin in it so I chose these pumpkin cupcakes with brown butter frosting because they didn't seem too sweet.  Boy was I wrong!  They were incredibly delicious though.

LA County Jury Duty

I hate you.  No, I will not serve on a jury during Christmas break. 

Projects Book

Finally finished these title pages made out of construction paper for projects I worked/am working on.  Was thinking of doing a (somewhat better) paper scene for wedding invitations, what do you think?

Google?!

I figured out why my images weren't being displayed as I would like them.  PicasaWeb!  For a few months now (when??) Picasa has downgraded their image uploading so that pictures aren't as crisp, aren't as colorful as they should be.  I thought there was something wrong with my camera.  So until this is fixed, or maybe even forever, I shall be using flickr.  Even the pictures I uploaded last year have seen a sharp decline in quality.  Very disappointing. 

Assembling Furniture -

So easy an idiot could do it?

I get why this was written, to be cute.  Sometimes DailyCandy writers are so utterly obnoxious, especially in Philadelphia.  Why do I keep subscribing anyway?  So when I saw this email I had to post, somewhere, about how idiotic it is.

Roots Inc. Home Boutique Opens

Furniture you assemble won't fall apart unless you put it together incorrectly.  This includes furniture from Ikea.  (Alina, that chair that broke when you sat on it is a good example - I put it together wrong).  Not only that, the people at Roots Inc (I'm sure it's a fine store!) used "easy to assemble" furniture in their boutique. 

Quality Meats

and in the meantime..

Fall happened and then disappeared.

Mike and I finished our Rocky MovieTour

Phillies went to the World Series

On the last night of Charette and Broad St. went crazy.

...and that's just for GOING to the world series.

We had Charette.

Our program gives us three days to create something.  This year, our theme was Swine Design and my team focused on quarantine.  We came up with a garment called the "Scrunch" heavily based on the Snuggie.
