Emerald :: The Color of the Year

Plate

I have to admit, when I heard that emerald was the Pantone Color of the Year I was a bit disappointed.  I may have just been in mourning that Tangerine’s year was over, but I’m just not a huge emerald fan.  However, I’ve seen some really great green ideas lately and I may be crossing […]

These spinach enchiladas are full of spinach {of course!}, corn, and green […]

Three of my dear friends are going on a mission trip to Kenya this summer.  They’re hosting a Bunko night with a raffle to raise support and I agreed to make something for the raffle.  If you’ve been around Dukes and Duchesses for a long time, you may remember the crosses in shadowboxes I made […]

Homemade Valentines :: Owl Be Your Valentine

owl be your valentine

Today I’m sharing Lila’s homemade owl valentines.  Lila {who is six years old and never online} is certain she came up with this idea herself, including the “owl be your valentine” tag line.  I don’t have the heart to tell her that owls are really popular and something like this has probably been done before. Let […]

Tate gave homemade stamp of approval valentines at her playgroup party this year and they were so easy that I have to share the idea. Like most three year olds, Tate loves art supplies: markers, stamps, glue sticks … the messier, the better.  If you have a three year old, you can relate, right?  Since […]

Table for Two Tablescape Ideas

Phil and I had a sweet, romantic lunch at a table for two this week, something that rarely happens, especially mid-week.  The tablescape, the style, and the lunch itself were definitely not our normal style and I thought you’d enjoy seeing this sweet little tablescape. I was inspired by Moll Anderson’s new book Seductive Tables […]
