Check out our latest Tabletop inspiration for 100 Layercake. The combo of seafoam, canary yellow, and buttercream are soft enough for small picnic in the park, and perfect for a reception dinner at sunset!

In My Farmers Market Basket: 8.21.12
Ever since moving from Austin to Los Angeles, I've tried to make the most of everything the Golden State has to offer. One of the great advantages of living in such a temperate climate year round is all of the lovely, fresh produce.
I am someone who loves to cook and who loves to eat. Receiving weekly deliveries of local fruits and vegetables to my doorstep provides a healthier way to live and a welcome challenge.
While I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable in the kitchen (thanks to the Food Network & reading cookbooks religiously), there are still some specimen that arrive & require a quick Google search (Shishito Peppers anyone??).
The first thing I do once I spot the box on my doorstep (even though it's time consuming), is to unpack, wash everything, then pack it for use. I find that doing this keeps everything preserved for as long as I need before I use it.
Whenever I have a minute, I start planning my weekly menu. That way, I can go to the grocery and buy any items that I might need to have once dinner time arrives. Here's what's on the menu this week:
Lime-Spiked Seafood with Roasted Sweet Potatoes-using those beautiful sweet potatoes
Grilled Lamb Skewers with Mint & Rosemary (pre-prepared from Whole Foods), Roasted Sweet Peppers, Feta, Naan & Hummus
Pizza Night! Grilled Zucchini & Eggplant Pizza with Tapenade and Fontina, served with a Green Salad
Our go-to spicy Curry Recipe...Zucchini Curry (I add Chicken and any other vegetable I have on hand)
My favorite lunch when there are beautiful heirloom tomatoes...a fat & juicy BLT!
Most of the fruit is eaten fresh, cut up in yogurt or as a night-time snack...
Here's wishing you a week of good eating and lots of joy!
Cheers,
Bailey

SPOTTED | Modern Cactus Wedding Stationery
A while back we had the pleasure of collaborating with Andrea Freeman on one of her fabulous styled shoots. The concept was an Urban-Rustic wedding in Venice, California. We had so much fun creating the stationery. We always love getting a chance to challenge ourselves and think outside the box. The stationery came together as an unexpected mix of vintage and modern.
The color palette was inspired by succulents and desert roses so we used shades of coral and rust with accents of cactus green.
Thanks again to Andrea for including us!
