Tea Feature for 91Magazine

I've hinted at a tea project recently, and I'm really happy to reveal that it's an article on a few London tea rooms I wrote and photographed for 91Magazine! Here are some screen shots of the article. You can read the feature here. It's on pp. 18-25. And if you'd like to see more photos of these tea rooms, you will find many more in my "shop photos" flickr set.

BHLDN: Wedding from Anthropologie

This may be old news, but it's new news to me. The Anthropologie family has a wedding shop. Did you know? It's called BHLDN. Wish it had been around when I got married! Here's a peek.

Paris See and Do

Over the last few weeks I've been searching blogs for Paris tips--things to do, places to go, where to shop and eat.... My list has grown so long that I feel a little overwhelmed by it, but it's certainly better to have more to do than not enough. One of my favorite blogs for information is Anne Ditmeyer's blog, Pret a Voyager. The "living in Paris" and the "visiting Paris" sections have so much information, both practical, such as finding an apartment and working in Paris, and fun, such as recommendations on shops and restaurants. Her Design Sponge city guide is great too. If you have any plans to go to Paris and need some tips on what to do, definitely put her blog on your list.

Hucklebones

I love looking at little clothes for kids (I've made a pinterest board for some here). Although I usually shop H&M or Target for Lois, I really love handmade, beautiful clothes. My friend Caroline gave me a great jumper (this one!) from when she was making kids clothes, and I just love it. Lois has worn it a few times, but I'm actually nervous for her to wear it because I like it so much! Silly, I know. Anyway, I love little handmade clothes. I was in Hop Like Bunny yesterday, a great children's shop near our apartment, and they're having a sale. Woohoo. One label they carry there is Hucklebones. I love their clothes! They don't have much posted on their site right now I imagine because it's near the end of the season, but you can see more on their blog. I love the top above! I love the fabric and the collar. It's just really beautiful. It makes me want to learn to make nice wee clothes. From their blog, I also love this and this and this....

More Tea, Please

I'm still on a tea mission of sorts (the reveal on that topic will be January 31), so I headed to one of my favorite places today with Lois, Vintage Heaven. The front room is filled with vintage treasures and the back room is the Cake Hole Cafe. More on Vintage Heaven later this month. For now here's just a little  peek. 

Tea Treat

Last weekend I visited Le Chandelier. I don't get down to this part of the city often, but Le Chandelier is worth the short trip. I needed to visit Le Chandelier again to take some new photos for a an exciting tea project I'm working on, which I'll share with you soon. I made sure to take time to sit down with a delicious apple tarte tatin. It was sooo good. Click here to see more photos from my frist visit. I just love Le Chandelier. And East Dulwich is very charming if you've never been. 

From the desk of...

If Paris doesn't interest you (or French things in general), you might want to delete my blog for a while. I'm immersed in all things French! I need to write some thank yous and thought I'd get something with a French twist while I'm at it. I've had my eye on custom stationery from one of my favorite paper companies, Rifle Paper Co., for a while now, and I remembered they also have super cute French notes.
