Update from my favorite bakery

Thought I’d share some current favorites from “my” bakery (aka Green Prairie Bakery). These chocolate cupcakes, for instance. So, so good, and I’m usually not a chocolate cake girl.

And my latest favorite sandwich, their new turkey wrap. Here’s what’s in it (in case you cannot visit in person, which I still highly recommend): roasted turkey breast, brie, arugula, carrots, cranberry chutney and mayonnaise in a honey wheat wrap. Yum. The turkey is legit roasted turkey, too, not sliced at the deli. Going back for lunch. Today.

DWRI Letterpress

I think it was Elisabeth who clued me in to DWRI Letterpress. Their stationery portfolio is lovely! I especially like the silhouette envelope above (for a wedding announcement). Second favorite? I think that would be “Howdy”.

Looking for Domino (plus the giveaway winner!)

Ever since Habitually Chic posted about the new issue of Domino magazine a week ago, I’ve been impatiently anticipating today. J.Crew has an amazing power over me, not to mention the design bloggers that are to be featured. It should hit the newsstands here this afternoon, and I am happily going in search of it.

After spending most of Wednesday in a computer fog, things were looking up by late afternoon. I was back to paring down the piles of paper and envisioning minimalistic perfection. I’m ready to get back to “work”.

Congratulations, Mollytics! You’ve won the Isaac Mizrahi book! Send me an email with your mailing address, and I’ll send it on its way.

It’s been an incredibly long and stressful day. I’m still trying to get data moved from my iBook to my new Macbook. And while I understand in essence what has to be done, sometimes stuff just doesn’t work. (And sometimes I delete emails forgetting that my computers sync mail, which creates a whole other can of worms.)

So it was a delight to see this gorgeous dress during a blog break. Hmmmm, may have to train my resident origami expert to “think big”.

See you tomorrow!

I heart this tee!

I saw this at Design Work Life this morning and I need this tee. It’s gray. It’s minimal. It’s Baskerville.

It’s not available in my size at the moment, but they’re based in Chicago! I am hopeful they’ll make more ….
