A reader wrote in looking for a fun tailgate dish that can be made on Thursday and transported to another state for a Saturday tailgate.
Any ideas? The event is this week, so let her know!
PS ... Le Petite Blog always has such fun tailgating dishes, too!
A Spring '09 bride recently emailed to ask my thoughts on brightly colored wedding shoes. The mother of the bride is concerned that the bride will look back on the decision to wear bright orange heels and wonder "WHY? What was I thinking?" And yet the bride's playful side really wants that kick. I actually think the biggest concern is whether or not the shoes will take away from the dress. But honestly, are the shoes that visible unless the bride goes out of her way to show them? No. Most gowns are floor length. In terms of the shoes looking dated in 20 years, I am seeing this trend enough that I wonder if it won't become something of a norm. And if it doesn't, who cares as long as the bride really loves them? After all, what is the fun in old pictures if everything is flawlessly timeless? When children are making fun of those shoes down the road, mom can smile and think of how she felt on that day- playful, joyous, and YOUNG!
I adore Tervis Tumblers and when I saw these in my high school's alumni magazine I felt tempted to add to my collection. Then I realized they may appeal to some of our readers. There are all sorts of designs so even if the daisy doesn't do it for you, check out their website. If you are not already familiar with the awesomeness of the Tervis Tumbler, I am not sure how to explain. It just is. Trust me.
I think we are all ready for a break from the frugal themed posts. Any thoughts on red and brown as a color scheme? I have posted this picture as a color visual, but would do something much more traditional. Something about the color combo seems a little...Ikea? (Not that I don't love Ikea. I am just trying to move towards a different look.)
