How cute are these flats by After Six? They’re on back order until June, but couldn’t pass them up. Pre-ordered two sizes to make sure they’ll fit. (Obviously, returning one.) Available at Anthropologie.

Friday Flickr Five

Happy May Day! We have had so much rain in April that I feel like I should be building an ark. But it’s May now, and that has to mean better things ahead. So here’s to flowers, and the Five:

  1. Spring is busting out all over

  3. bicycle with fairylights

If you’re lucky enough to be in Boston this weekend, please visit B&G Oysters Oyster Invitational on Sunday. Or, Drink‘s Run for the Roses party on Saturday night. Yes, I like my Barbara Lynch restaurants.

See you back here on Monday!

This is my 1000th post, and I can’t think of a better way to mark the occasion than sharing this adorable custom baby announcement by Suann at Simplesong. Suann not only writes one of my favorite blogs, she consistently impresses me with her letterpress work. I’m so excited that we’re planning to meet at the Stationery Show next month. (It’s going to be so much fun!)

Black*Eiffel introduced me to the work of designer Alvin Diec. His work for Joel, an Atlanta restaurant, is my favorite. (I now want to eat there!) See his portfolio right here.
