The perfect Summer Plates!

I am so in love with the entire website from iomoi, but especially with their adorable children's plates. Their functionality reminds me of the ones I designed in elementary school that my mom still has in her pantry :). However, they are much more sophisticated and would even be cute for adults to use on the patio for Summer garden parties! My favorite of this moment would be perfect for the little ones...

But if I were buying one for myself I am thinking it would be...

Or perhaps this one...

p.s. Sorry for the leave of absense! My daughter was having some asthma issues and the blog had to take a back burner... I appreciate all of the email inquiries. :) Hope everyone is having an amazing week!

Monday Musings: Lake Merwin

We had so much fun this past Sunday at Lake Merwin, which is outside of Woodland, Washington. It was about an hour northeast of Portland and absolutely stunning. The water was extremely clean and the lake was not too crowded. My father-in-law took the three of us up to go Kokanee fishing and to lounge on his boat. Payton was so excited to help bait the fishing rods and drive the boat! She was dancing around all day and she caught her first fish!

It was such a lovely way to spend the day with family and we have decided it should be an annual event! I hope everyone had an equally great weekend!

Happy 2nd Birthday Payton Katherine!

Happy Birthday to my daughter Payton! She is two today! She is so in love with horses right now and was running around the house this morning with her new "Nay Nay" pretending to be a jockey! She had a lovely time frolicking at the Play Boutique this afternoon too!

Monday Musings: Worlds Away

I never thought i would be one of those girls who loved gilded furniture or Hollywood glam., but I am surprising myself recently while I look for furniture for our new house! I am totally in love with Worlds Away, a designer wholesaler filled with gilded goodies...

I found them while perusing one of my favorite designer's websites. Caitlin Wilson Design. She has impeccable taste and just bought an occasional table for her office at the One King's Lane Saturday Sale. This is the one she purchased.

Also, how cute is this mirror from Worlds Away? I am thinking about it for my daughter's bedroom.
