Happy Easter!

Last night we had an Easter dinner party. I love dinner parties. I made brown sugar pound cake cupcakes with brown butter glaze, very buttery! We also made asparagus and mushroom tarts and shrimp bruschetta, but no pictures of those.

Happy Easter!

Fun weekend!

I went to Boston! Of course the first order of business... eating a boston creme "bomb", basically a boston creme pie encased in a chocolate shell- delish!!!


I also ate a Boston Creme donut!


And cupcakes! Yum. These delicious cupcakes have inspired me to try out a fancy cupcake recipe tomorrow.


So basically I was a fatty fatty boom boom all weekend, it was totally awesome.

Tuesday, I was back to work. Tear. This is what I do at work....





I keep a little drawing notebook at my desk to doodle in while I am waiting for my computer to work or am on the phone or need a break from work!! Somedays I fill the whole page and sometimes I use the same page for 3-4 days, depending on how busy/bored I am.

Bittersweet Goodwill purchase!!

Ok, so how awesome are those shoes??? I love the name of the brand, PARADISE KITTENS! Adorable. I also love the metallic, the wedge and those sweet triangles at the ends of the laces. What I do not love is that they are too small. Only a tiny bit too small, but small enough that my feet would be a total mess if I wore them for more than 10 minutes. I did find that out the hard way this morning, luckily I had packed my go-to silver Target flats in my purse, so no prob.

I think these shoes have inspired me to add some vintage things to my etsy site. I have been toying with the idea for a while, and thrift shopping is my favorite thing, I think I will enjoy shopping even if it is not for myself! I am going to list these shoes on etsy this weekend!

Right hand ring?

I have been wanting a right hand ring but I haven't found the perfect thing. I want something fun, sparkly, unique. I can't decide if I want something to wear for "everyday" or "special".

a blinged out panda from anthropologie?


a stacked pearl ring from etsy user, bellabijoujewellery?


a funky sea glass ring from etsy user, meganstelzer?


colorful stacked rings from etsy user, singleBbeautiful?


a YSL ring? I would go crazy for a ring like this at a thrift store, but I can't see myself dropping $200 on it.


I have never been the type that is into butterflies, but I love this ring! It is Juicy Couture.


Any suggestions?

Greatest weekend!

...and my first time ever in Ohio! At least I think it was, somehow I have missed crossing the border to Ohio all these years!
We went to Ikea!



I had a delicious Swedish Meatball lunch and bought some frozen meatballs to take home! Yummers.
