I fell in love with Etsy Store, Modern Romance, when I included one of Christine's birdcage veils in my Parisian Wedding Inspiration Board last week. I just couldn't get enough of her gorgeous accessories, and she just happens to be local(Portland, OR), so a perfect spotlight for today! Christine designs wedding accessories for brides who want a modern look with a touch of girly. The organza flowers and wraps/capelets are beautiful statement pieces that take your ensemble from ordinary to extraordinary. I think the Big Pearls Choker would make a perfect gift for your bridesmaids also. I know I would wear it everyday!! Christine also takes custom orders, so if there is a particular color or variation you are looking for just give her a shout through her etsy store. Happy Shopping!!

I'm sick with a nasty cold right now, so I thought a cocktail post might cheer me up. For some reason I always crave popsicles when I'm sick. So here's a great combination of both:1. In a measuring cup combine cranberry juice cocktail, lime juice, and honey. Using 8 plastic frozen pop molds or 3-ounce paper cups, pour 4 teaspoons of the juice mixture into the bottom of each. Freeze for 1 hour or until firm but not hard. In another liquid measuring cup combine orange juice and tequila.
2. Carefully pour orange juice mixture over cranberry mixture. Cover paper cups with foil and insert wooden craft sticks into cups or insert pop mold sticks into pop molds; freeze overnight. Remove pops from molds or tear off paper and remove foil before serving. Makes 8 frozen pops.
Tip: You can make "virgin" ice pops by eliminating the tequila and adding an extra tablespoon each of the cranberry juice cocktail and lime juice.
Pureland Weddings is a new venture from the award winning company, Pureland Pictures. I have to say it was love at first sight when I watched their films online. I was so captivated by the wedding ceremony I was watching I completely burned the cookies I was baking. Darn it!

I had my first AND second Pix Patisserie experience in Portland last weekend. It was so good, I had to go back the next day. Their macaron's are to die for!!! I think my very favorite was the Fleur de Sel {French Sea Salt Studded Macaron Filled with Caramel Butter Cream}, but the Cassis Violet{Filled with Black Current and Violet Butter Cream} was a close second. They have two fabulous locations, SE Division St and North Williams{Drink top shelf liquors or Stumptown Coffee at this location}. The North Williams location is next door to Lark Press Letterpress Printing and kiddie corner to the fabulous ink & peat store owned by Pam Zsori of the HouseMartin Blog}.
This magical table was designed by Colin Cowie in South Africa for Brides Magazine. I love the color scheme of white, dark brown, red and orange. Its a warm table with a crisp and clean look. Is that possible? I love the way he has used texture and fresh fruit to bring out the beauty of the region. Who says you have to have safari animals on the table? 
I love these Block-Printed gifts or favors from St. Thomas artist, Gina Feddersen of Isola Bella.
