celebrating audrey’s birthday was SO much fun!  you can read all about it at one charming party: day one, day two, day three and also at lovely little parties.

i had to pop in with an image of the fenwicks in new york that was making me smile…to say it was an amazing trip would be such a huge understatement!  thank you for the families who helped make this dream come true!!

2012 is well on it’s way to being the most amazing year!  we have news: fantastic katiebeth will be moving out west in the coming months so her husband, thomas, can begin a wonderful graduate program…(and if anyone will be looking for a great hr manager in a couple years he’ll be perfect)!  soooo, that leaves us wanting to round out our team with an incredible person – we’re not shy in saying you need to be nothing short of spectacular to fill katiebeth’s shoes ;)  is that you?  read below – we want to hear from you and please help us spread the word!

last week, i went to west baden and was woo-ed all over again (images from last year’s trip)…it’s so quiet and peaceful there!  and their wedding and events manager, jennifer ryal is a GEM!  below are a few scenes from the property…this was my first time seeing the pete dye course (top image) and i’m blown away!  i’m not a golfer, at ALL, but this course made me think twice ;)

hope there’s a long weekend in your future there!

i love changing my desktop wallpaper to reflect the season but sometimes it’s hard to find really darling ones.

in honor of earth day (april 22nd), we commissioned a bicycle computer wallpaper just for you :)  and it’s not just any bicycle but a cute one with a flower basket on the front!  inspired by orla kiely, who i think is the bees knees and the current queen of prints.
