One Good Thing: Little Bird Hoops

Can you guess how very much I LOVE these Little Bird Hoops by Alex Monroe?!!  If you guessed a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot... you're right!

In Good Company: Bird and Banner

What makes the printed creations of Bird and Banner (owned by Erin & Nicole) so fabulous... is not only their fine attention to detail (which is evident), but the personal and quirky styling that is a part of each piece they make.  You get the feeling that every couple and customer they serve walks away completely and utterly satisfied (and inspired)... how could they not be!

Summer Ends in Sweetness...

We're in the final days of Summer vacation (my daughter and I... and probably many of you too).  I don't know about you all, but I'm very much looking forward to the Fall (I love cold weather clothing).  There weren't many things that I got to check off of my to-do "list" over the past couple of months... but the one I did, is a good one:  I learned how to can fruit!!!  I've made Plum, Blackberry, and Ginger-Peach Jam this summer, and while it is loads of work, it is extremely satisfying and makes ordinary things like toast and biscuits feel like indulgent desserts.  Hurray!

Anyhow, however you spend these new few days... I hope they will be lovely and filled with memory-making joy!  Happy weekend everyone!  xox Ez

Home x Sweet x Home

I stumbled across the photo pages of Megan Jeffrey (aka beetlegrass) today, and just had to share some of the photos she's taken of her lovely home with you.

I think that hers is the perfect example of how important is to make your space personal.  Not everyone will be over the moon for your color combos or asthetic, but it is your space... and it should reflect you.  Make your home a haven, and every time you walk in the door... you will feel at home.
