K Flick Studio — 2011

weekend update

I had a wonderful weekend spent at brunch with friends, doing taxes, and taking a road trip. For the first time in my life I did my own taxes and kind of loved it! I know, strange but true.

On Sunday I headed up to Three Potato Fours’s Barn Sale with a few friends. It somehow took us over 3 hours for a trip that should have taken 2, possibly due in part to a iPhone that was left at, and had to be rescued from a rest stop. I came home with a few goodies for myself, a great find for K Flick Studio, and an awesome gift. Of course I did not take any pictures!

We then headed over to Terrain for a small bite and because it is one of our favorite places. We started with possibly the best cheese plate ever. It served as great inspiration for my next gathering. I also purchased a new plant for my terrarium, the original three did not fair so well. All in all it was a great weekend.

yum

Thank goodness for my mum! I am doing my weekly read through of the links that she sends me and I am in love with this one. My husbands birthday is coming up and I think this would be a perfect meal!

three potato four

On Sunday I am jumping in the car and driving as fast as I can to the Three Potato Four barn sale outside of Philadelphia. I am so excited to finally get to see in person the fantastically curated items that Janet and Stu have pulled together.

As an added bonus, Somethings Hiding in Here will be there as well with a Forage pop up shop! I just hope that there are still goodies left when I arrive on Sunday. I have a birthday/thinking of you/you are the best gift that I need to get.

I am bringing along the camera with hopes of having some things to share next week. I just hope that remember to use it, sometimes I get overexcited and forget!

out and about

Katie, over at Petal and Print, shared a sneak peak of a project that she is working on for a lovely bride in California. I absolutely adore her beautiful flowers. If you are not familiar with them you should go take a gander. There are some ready mades for sale here, but most of Katie’s work is custom, giving the client a chance to get exactly what she wants!

confetti system

Have you seen any of the fabulous work from Nicholas Andersen and Julie Ho of Confetti System? I am absolutely in love with the tassel garlands that they make. I first noticed them in J. Crew’s windows last fall, and have been dreaming of them ever since. I think that they would be perfect for most any party, and delightful in a child’s room. I think that I might even get a strand and hang it on the wall above our bed.

at last

I have been looking at the Twistband shop for a while now. I put things in my cart, and take them back out again. I tried to find a store near me that might carry them, but alas there were none. Then hoorah!!! While I was in Telluride, last week I stumbled across them in not one store but two! I purchased two hair ties and one headband, and think that I shall never look back. They are so nice on my hair, stylish, and have oh so many options! The only questions is, which ones shall I purchase next? You can pick up this fabulous set of three for $5 here.

nice package

One for my favorite places to go for inspiration, for design, entertaining, and gifting is Nice Package. I have been talking to my husband about hosting a brunch recently and thought that the Honey Fromage Blanc + Granola from Sunday Suppers would be a perfect addition. I also look for any excuse to purchase small glass containers in quantity!

Kokblog

While on vacation I have been mining through my computer. Finally organizing, stargazing, and deleting bits that have been hanging out for no reason. I just re-found Kokblog an illustrated cooking blog by Johanna Kindvall, and can’t get enough. Her unique way of looking at recipes and food is fantastic. If you have a few moment’s you should take a look!

When my mom was visiting in November she shared this amazing link with me. At the time it was 2 in the morning and there were still many more hours of work ahead of me. A few days later I went back and looked at it again, loved it, and immediately shared it with all my friends.

I just saw them in a Mc Donald’s commercial. Personally I hate McDonald’s and all fast food for a long list of reasons. However I do not have a problem with artist lending their work to commercials. Many consider this to be selling out, but really, aren’t we all trying to make a living doing what we love? If you are able to be paid, and increase your exposure I say go for it!

On that note, have a great day, and enjoy the video.

Painted Spoons

I did not make it to the restaurant supply store the other day, to which my kitchen says thank you! Instead I ended up at my new favorite place that bring me back to my childhood, the asian market, pig hearts and all! After a full shopping cart I returned to the store and began work on my project. I had a great time on this one, and I think got a lot of bang for my buck!
