When hosting any kind of party I think it’s important to have some sort of festive decor. It just elevates the fun factor. When I recently hosted a little get together for my girlfriend (see here) I knew I wanted to attempt the oh so girly tassel garland I keep seeing everywhere. I loosely followed this tutorial and was thrilled with the outcome. I love mine so much I decided to hang it in the office- a la Emily of cupcakes and cashmere. I also have the urge to make new garland for every event, holiday, and special occasion I can think of!

{the crowd at canada place}

This past weekend was about red, white, maple leaves, and of course the love of Canada. I would say our first Canada day was a success. I truly loved taking in all things Canada and experiencing a new kind of celebration!!

  I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial day weekend! Mine consisted of beach time, delicious food, some shopping, and lots of relaxation. It feels like a great start to summer!

{my favorite eggs}

Some of my fondest memories from childhood are of Easter Sundays. I remember tons of family getting together to celebrate at my Great Grandmothers which meant lots of excitement for us kids. Two things were certain on that day. We always had more food than we knew what to do with and I always made a mess coloring the eggs. This year I put my egg dying skills to the test and also tried my hand at some classic holiday recipes! I hope you all got your fill of chocolate bunnies, peeps, and jellybeans!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all had a wonderful day full of the sweetest of treats and as much love as your heart could handle! As for me, I had a lovely day with my favorite person and feline. Also, I finally had a reason to wear those bright pink glasses I bought for my Halloween costume. I think I’ll make it a Valentine’s tradition. xoxo

It would be a huge understatement to say 2011 was truly spectacular. I experienced so many life changing events and never imagined I would be where I am today. It’s crazy to think about all the amazing memories I have made and I’m so excited to see what this new year will bring! Since I’m feeling rather reminiscent I thought I would share my top 5  favorite moments from this year. Happy New year to you all!
