These Pear and Ginger Muffins look at least as good as something you would buy at a high-class bakery. Okay, okay. Better.

Mustaches have been sort of overdone recently, but make them the mustaches of the famous and I’m sold. Check out these pencils emblazoned with the upper lips of Salvador, Zorro, Burt, Django, Clark!
IKEA’s newest ads are really, really smart. Love ’em.

It’s Pear Week! I’m so excited to showcase these sweet, grainy guys in all their glory.
This fall is bound to be the Autumn of the Loaf in my kitchen. I can’t get enough breads and cakes – this Pear Bread is right near the top of my list, too.

I really like the idea of using this serving cone – intended for candies or nuts – to serve something like a salad. Somewhat impractical, but the sheet of crystal glass sure would make quite the statement!

I’m thrilled for this weekend to finally be here! First, there’s the annual OU/Texas Red River Rivalry in Dallas. Sadly I won’t be attending this year, but since the football teams are ranked #1 and #5 respectively, it should be an especially awesome match-up! Second, our office is closed Monday for Columbus Day, giving me an extra-long three day weekend which I plan on savoring every moment of.
This Weekend:
• watch OU/Texas game and participate in all subsequent activities that accompany the big event (RE: beer)
• buy pumpkins
• paint China cabinet
• buy large canvas to paint + hang over couch
• bake Brown Sugar Pound Cake
• laundry + groceries!
• weed rock garden
• start thinking about Christmas gifts… EEK!
Happy Weekend!

I love that she’s pulling off the “pretty” and “scary” looks at the same time!
Ahh, the Belgian staple referred to as Stroopwafels. My mother once brought me back a few packages from a trip to Scotland and it was insta-love. You can lay them over the top of your hot-mugga-whatever to make the insides all gooey and delicious.

I love cake. Icing? Not so much. These cake stencils are a nice alternative to gobs and gobs of sugar.

I adore this idea: ceiling medallions as wall art!
I’ve always appreciated the intricate detailing of most medallions, but thought them a bit stuffy for my own personal taste. This is a great way to use them outside of their intended purpose. The medallions pictures are of the lightweight urethane variety and painted in subtly varying shades of the same color. So, so pretty.
