Friday Favorites – First Blooms 2015 & Downtown Buildings
I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful spring Friday and has a great weekend! Here are some pictures from this week showing off some of the first blooms of 2015. My pink rose started blooming this week. It smells incredible! I planted a little periwinkle plant a few weeks ago, and it started blooming this week. I love the delicate flowers it makes! My favorite part about spring in Texas is the wildflowers! The ditch in our front yard is still covered in Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes. Anything pink catches my eye, it is my favorite color by far. We went to eat last night in another Continue Reading >>
Cake Batter Dip
For my best friends wedding shower, we had a beautiful vintage theme at my parents home. It was very special since she and I have so many memories in that house (20 years worth). Her bachelorette was the same weekend (read about that here!), and we wanted to keep the vintage theme going.

Normally, I am the friend and family member who bakes all the desserts (it's the chemist in me), but I had absolutely no time to do so for this event. Continue Reading >>

I did some research for something unique and special, and stumbled upon a vintage tea at The Ashton Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. I immediately knew it was the perfect thing for us to do. We are both lovers of all things vintage and nostalgic for those Continue Reading >>
Recycled Paint Can Turned Planter!
Recycling is something I have always had a knack for. Even as a kid, I was coming up with ways to reuse things without having to throw them away. Throwing items away is something I always feel guilty about, especially when they have so much potential. That being said, I also hate clutter, so don't worry...I'm not a pack rat :) I've been watching flea market shows for years and my affinity for repurposing continues to grow. This past winter, we put up a wood privacy fence and stained every square inch of it. It took about 7 gallons total! I never could bring myself to throw Continue Reading >>
