Cake and Champagne time...

So I have not been promoting this very much other than the small etsy shopping page that I have added to my blog... but I am so happy to announce that.....


(Drumroll please)

My glass line is a success!!!

I have received such a phenomenal response from when I started selling these little babies over a month ago!! I am just giddy over it! 


SO far the most popular seller...

Thanks to all of you who have ordered and to all of you who have shown your friends, family, etc the line... I really appreciate the support and I hope that everyone loves these pieces as much as I love making them!


So there is obviously a lot more to be celebrated today than this... In fact this is very minuscule compared all of the wonderful events happening... on that note... we should ALL be celebrating!

Cheers!!!!!!!!!

Love, hope, and happiness to all of you...

FREAKING OUT...

Who is staying up to watch the Royal Wedding????


umm... yeah... SO EXCITED. 

I am going to my parents house tonight and my friend Caroline is coming at 8PM. We are going to have champagne cocktails, take a cat nap, and then wake up at 1 for the "pre-game" through the wedding. My mom bought Prince of Wales tea and crumpets.

On Sunday my friend Shanley is having a full blown party in which the gals are invited to wear their wedding dresses  or best bridesmaids dress and we are going to watch it all over again with cake and cocktails!

talk about a fabulous time!

Gracie... the jet setting pup...

So when we travel with gracie... we take her EVERYWHERE... whether it a spot that would typically be dog friendly or not. We just cant leave her in the hotel room. I mean hello... its her vacation too!

So here are a few photos of the pup in California this week! Before we headed to Carmel, CA aka where we are now, we made a pit stop in Palo Alto. Its a frequent spot for my family as my mom grew up there and my dad went to Stanford. Which is coincidentally where they met.


She is so ready for vacation...


Obviously ready for the long drive to California!



Lunch at Max's Opera Cafe


Nordies helping mom pick out my easter present...



Lululemon being very patient while I get a new yoga outfit.


She decided to take a nap while she waited...



Dinner that night at Scott's Seafood Bistro... she had some delish Bay Area sourdough! 


Tuckered out after a long day!

So thats our vacation so far! We have had so much fun... but most of all gracie has had the best time!!!

Before I sign off I want to thank Colleen at The Dashing Pearl! I did a guest post for her this week on  my favorite color combination- pink and turquoise. 




and take a look or give a follow to Colleen at The Dashing Pearl.

This week is a busy one...

My week just gets crazier and crazier... and I am not going to slow down till I leave for Carmel on Sunday!

I have fallen back in love with making lists to keep me organized...

But does this really look organized to you???


Yeah... so many to do lists, schedules, timelines, plans, etc. 

Its been a fun one though! :) 

Also attn. dieters:

Keeping me fueled through this crazy week!

Thats all for now!

a little love at the coffee shop...


Ok ... so the most precious thing happened to me today...


I up and at em this AM... out the door dressed and ready to go full make-up, hair, and sundress at 7:00AM!!!!!

So I popped in to Starbucks for my morning cocoa cappuccino... The line was no joke 12 cars long! So I popped out my laptop and conveniently stole wifi from the restaurant next door. As I am slowly making my way up the line and eventually to the front, the gal in front of me smiles and laughs undoubtably because she sees me being ridiculous and on my laptop while driving. 

I also laughed. 

THEN! I pull up to pay for my coffee and the woman PAID for my cappuccino and bought me a cake pop! How did she know I loved Tiramisu? Excellent!

I was dumbfounded by the hospitality from a stranger! It makes you feel so good!

I was SO tired and excited for that first hit of caffeine... which is amazing and then someone picks up the tab AND buys you a treat??

Complete STARBUCKS BLISS!!!


So tomorrow morning I am going to pay for the person behind me to keep those good vibes going!!



One more cute thing...

I found these this weekend at Safeway and had to share...


Lilly Pulitzer animal crackers???

Oh hey cutest snack ever!! Glad I found you!
