obsession of the week (part two): 1canoe2

i came across this on esty last night. i LOVE letterpress and this especially! they hand draw all the letters and designs on everyhing. impressive. (no pun intended)

have to have this!

and these to go along with it!

for my best, steph!

check out all their stuff at 1canoe2

i have so many recipe cards lying around and nowhere to put them

hint hint :)

obsession of the week (part one): kinies classic

so, lately i have been all about carrying a small purse or wristlet. i've realized the ease and practicality of it. but this obsession of the week may change that. it's so perfect for someone (like me) who carries a  cute small purse ....and then also seems to be lugging around another "bag" to fit everything else in. here it is..... the kinies classic !

i love the short strap in the first pic, it makes it seem not so "toteish"

but when it starts to get to heavy you can use the across the body strap!

this is part one

i have one more obsession this week coming in just a bit!

last day!

 its our last day in NC for the holidays. we are heading out for lunch and coffee in Davidson. it's a cute little town up the street from my pop's house. ready for yummy food from toast and some drinks from summit coffee to warm us up! i hope you all are having a fabulous time this week before christmas!

fashion fave

last wednesday night the mr and i attended a cookout for our dear friends, the (now) scott's! it was casual and mostly outside around the bonfire so i chose something simple to wear (since i would have a coat on the whole time). i wore my 2 favorite fashion buys of the season. i am so excited to show you!

hometown highlight: sugar bakeshop

delicious! i happened upon sugar bakeshop by accident. i already had my cake and baker picked out for my wedding and last minute that just didn't work out. so i was driving down cannon street and saw this charming bakery and decided to give it a whirl. i went in and just ordered a lemon (my fave) cupcake. to-die-for. i was blown away! i quickly made contact with the owner...whom happens to live right next door in a lovely old charleston house.... and this is what i ended up with

perfect!

we chose to do 3 cakes with as many flavors as we could choose! the cakes all have butter cream frosting and white chocolate shavings on them. i wanted to go with a very soft and enchanting feeling so we chose all white. they peaked the icing instead of smoothing it making all the texture stand out. it was everything i ever dreamed of.

the cake topper was on the cake of my nana and pop, unfortunately my nana is no longer with us and i was so honored to be able to have pieces of her with me on my special day :)

love you nana

here are a few shots of sugar bakeshop

enjoy!!
