Have a romantic (long) weekend!

My lovelies, what are you up to this weekend? Alex and I are having a couple friends over for games and cocktails, and Toby is thisclose to crawling and practicing non-stop! It's really cute to watch, although every two seconds he does a giant face plant. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

The yummiest New Year's Resolution? Bake a cake every month!

A homemade board book.

Funny T-shirt for grown-ups.

Cute onesies.

Grapes + chocolate.

Fabulous wallpaper.

Future husbands, take note.

Mmmm, don't you wish we could beam ourselves here?

Wow, this antique ring looks like a fancier version of my engagement ring!

Have a good one, my darlings, and take gentle care of yourselves. xoxo

    The cake-a-month thing is really cool...My friend does something similar...she bakes a cake every other week for her work mates and designs an invite that goes with it!

  22. happy weekend! We are treating seven of our friends to a special French dinner, with the foie gras we brought back from Paris! It's the fanciest dinner party I've ever planned: foie gras with tokay gelee, chestnut and sherry soup with truffle oil, braised rabbit in mustard sauce with roasted brussel sprout chiffonade (with wild mushrooms and shallots), and apple-walnut galettes. I have been running all over town to find the right ingredients and was grinding walnut paste at midnight last night, whew! A lot of work, but I am really looking forward to serving it all tomorrow night!

  60. Love your blog Joanna!

    I teach an art history course called 'Image Love, Image Hate', all about people who fall in love with statues (or the opposite). But you have to be very careful with statues of goddesses!
