Five Things

May 4th, 2012

{Miniature bud vase + garden rose}

This weekend will be spent at home – catching up on sleep, reading Italian magazines that I didn’t finish on the plane, and drinking margaritas in the backyard. Thank you for all of your sweet comments in regards to my site’s redesign – I’m so appreciative of your support. I also want to reiterate that yes, I will be posting photographs from our wedding as soon as I receive them…thank you for your patience!

{Coffee + Tackling my stack of unread Italian magazines}

{A golden duck that I picked up in a little store in Rome}

{Coolest concept: Glasses with interchangeable lenses c/o Elizabeth and James}

{Our wedding china – elegant, but simple enough to use with regularity}

    Hey Emily,

    I don’t know how long I’ve been following your blog right now(maybe 2-3months), but this is actually my first comment ever.(really don’t know why.)
    I just wanted to say that I really love your blog. You’re such an inspiring person! I have so much fun reading your blog! But especially I love your ideas for cooking :)
    The photographic documentation showing all the individual steps until the meal is finished turns cooking into a breeze :D

    I just can’t wait to see your wedding photos and your wedding china is soooo cute !

    Love from Berlin,Germany !
    Veronika.
