“I’m late, I’m late for a very important date!” White Rabbit Wedding is a company that created an App that allows brides-to-be and their photographers map out the “shooting-schedule” of the big day. A brilliant concept–the app, which will be available for download (for photographers) later this year will actually send a schedule and push notifications to all wedding-photograph participants so that your dear aunt Ida won’t go missing 10 minutes before her close up.

Turkey Time

2012

The Haverford School Turkey Bowl is an annual event to strengthen the community and raise proceeds for Project Learn Belize. The family fun nature of the event needed an equally fun website with 2 goals in mind — provide event details and educate about Project Learn Belize.

 

 

This project also allowed us to try out a new Content Management System (CMS) call Statamic. It has a funny name that comes from combining the words “static” + “dynamic”. Unlike most CMSs that use a database to store all their information, Statamic uses static files to generate fully dynamic websites. What’s the big deal you say? Well, since the website doesn’t have to hit a database for information, it’s faster and fewer things can go wrong. Statamic also has a very simplified dashboard for clients to enter their information.

Go ahead. Visit the website and attend if you’re in the area!

Bring on the Braids

2012

Being a designer, I’m fascinated by how awesome things work. Being a female designer with long hair, that means braids. So many braids. From french to fishtail, waterfall and inside out, I can’t help but love them. They’re always tricky at first, but once you get past accidentally tying your hair in knots, braids can be utterly addicting.

Oh Baby!

2012

As we’re getting ready to welcome a new baby, I’ve been dreaming up the perfect nursery for our bundle of joy. I’m inspired by all of the places we’ve been and sharing them with our baby!

Take a look at some of the things I’m hoping to see in my new baby’s nursery:

1. Dresser- Young America | 2. Glider- Giggle | 3. Stateside Maps- These Are Things | 4. Vintage Map Letter- FleaMarket Sunday | 5. Knitted Blood Orange Poof- CB2 | 6. Stamped Scalloped Rug- Urban Outfitters | 7. Tripod Floor Lamp- Target  | 8. Silk Aviator Map Cushions- Atelier 688 | 9. Hoyne Pendant Lamp- Crate & Barrel | 10. World Map Wall Decal- Cool Wall Art | 11. Kudos Crib- Young America | 12. VIPP Diaper Pail- Giggle | 13. Yellow Cram’s Imperial World Globe- Charlie’s Nest

Being a self proclaimed “foodie” I’m always looking for something new and original to create. Finger food, sloppy or otherwise, is always a hit with my friends and family. So with it being football season and all, what better way to celebrate than with a quick & easy, delicious treat for everyone! Combining all of my favorite things; bacon, cheese, butter and ranch sauce, this Pull Apart Bread is sure to have everyone talking—and asking for another batch!

Following the recipe below, you too can make and enjoy this AMAZING appetizer! Go on now.. create! And remember, you can’t spell ‘create’ without ‘eat’.

 

 

1 unsliced loaf of (round is preferable) sourdough bread
8-12 oz cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
3 oz bag Oscar Mayer Real Bacon bits
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 Tbsp Ranch dressing mix

Using a sharp bread knife cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust. Place slices of cheese in between cuts. Sprinkle bacon bits on bread, making sure to get in between cuts. Mix together butter and Ranch dressing mix. Pour over bread. Wrap in foil the entire loaf in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Yesterday was an absolutely spectacular day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and we were out basking in the glorious late summer day in Ardmore! As always, Clover Market was chock full of treasures and we had an absolute blast!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks so much to all of you who dropped by – it was great to see you! And if you missed out on the fun this time, not to worry! There are two more Clover Market dates coming up this fall: October 14th and November 4th. Mark your calendars and we’ll see you next time!

This morning, I’m inspired by Studio Output’s creative take on Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Squarepants. From the designers: “ The designs are based around a grid system, with interlocking geometric shapes which create a versatile graphic style.”

Take a look at how these guys created a design that can be adjusted to fit just about any function. All images can be found on Studio Output’s case study.

Break a Sweat

Weekends are a great time to get outside and break a sweat. Here are few of my favorite things (a few on my workout wish list) for fall workouts! These fun colors and textures help me get out the door for a run or to yoga class.

1. A glass water bottle- Safe, reusable, and available in colors that are perfect for any mood.

2. Make A Break jacket by lululemon athletica- Super light fabric that makes you feel fast as the wind.

3. Tank by Athleta- A comfy tank for any season, always offered in rich colors, with an awesome “give-it-a-workout” guarantee!

4. Headband by Athleta- Hold it together and give your ponytail a little glam.

5. Sticky yoga mat by prAna- Get a grip and don’t slip!

6. Nike Pegasus 29 running sneaker- My favorite running sneaker of all time. Hands down.

7. Star Runner Tight by lululemon athletica- A tight that can be worn ANYWHERE. Yoga, Fairmount Park for a run, or to the grocery store.

8. Nike+ SportWatch GPS powered by TomTom- A super-smart, user-friendly watch with a USB port built into the band!

Enjoy your weekend, no matter how you spend it!
