creature comforts

Hi all. Just stopping in quickly to let you know I have been feeling a bit under the weather. So I thought I'd share a few of my comforts that always make me feel better. Take care out there!

sweet treats: chocolate caramel cheesecake!

The description: not for the faint of heart. This looks so decadent and delicious! I am sure when I try this recipe it won't look as beautiful as these photos, but if it is half as tasty I will be satisfied! My new in-the-moment favourite foodie blog! Find the recipe and more details here, Call me cupcake! 

well curated: little shop

Cute little shop, full of pretty tools for baking, drawing, sewing, even mittens for snowball-throwing.  I am such a sucker for darling shops, this one is full of potential party favors or small gifts. Based out of the UK — Hedgehog.

weekend round-up: the wee ones

Weekend in review. I mentioned at the end of last week, that we had been a bit busy around here. And you will see two cute reasons above! We have finally adopted kitties! Well, big cats actually. Drumroll please, I'd like to introduce you to (below right) Bogart, he is 3 and a whopping 16 lbs. A big feisty boy, who loves laps and attempting to climb the walls. And (up above) our lovely lady Coco Juniper, is about 1, not quite 16 lbs. and quite the doll, she fetches little puffy balls and sleeps as close to your head as possible. The other photos are from our mum's day adventures out to the Oregon Gardens, and a stroll through the historic downtown Silverton for ice cream.

**Remember this post, way back when we were still day-dreaming about someday getting a kitty or two. Coco Juniper's name came off this list, but let me tell you, both of them had many name iterations before we settled on Bogart and Coco Juniper. I am working on something special to welcome them to our little family.**

recent obsessions: flowers & mums.

It's so funny when without knowing it, I tend to have a recent theme in my etsy favorites. Right near the top were these four, all coral pink and inspired by our lovely mums. Happy Mother's Day!

Font Finds: Bookeyed Suzanne

Good morning! I return after a bit of a hiatus. Many changes at home these last few weeks and I will post more about that next week. In the meantime I bring you a Font Friday post. This week's favorite the Bookeyed family, specifically Suzanne and Jack.

I recently spotted this one on a book cover, can't remember the name of the book as all I wanted to remember was the font! Oopsie! I think this one has a darling textural quality, obviously a bit like handwriting. perfect perhaps for a summer party invite? 

The Bookeyed family was designed by Tart Workshop and is available here.

Table settings

I have been thinking about table settings lately, something about this time of year, maybe it's mothers day or spring. I just purchased a few little plates to compliment our already plentiful tableware collection. Below are few of my favourite styles. Can you guess which set of plates I got? They are pictured somewhere below.

Here is a little photo guide for setting your next table. Can you believe all the pieces I would need for a formal dinner?! Only the queen herself could manage the storage for that many pieces!

**Update: The plate set I recently purchased to sit atop our bright collection of fiesta ware, are those pictured in the last photo above with flowers and insects in a painterly style. They are so pretty, perfect for date night in!**
