up up creative.
I discovered up up creative a few weeks ago via Twitter and find that I keep coming back to her fun and modern designs. Invitations, cards, printables – you name it. And can I just say that I love when people understand the meaning of white space?!
PS: Check out her profile for the story behind the shop’s name – so cute!

The Daily Eat: Huevos Rancheros.
Huevos Rancheros are all over the place throughout Oklahoma, Texas and the southwest. And even though Smitten Kitchen argues that her version is flat out “fugly” and inauthentic I have to kindly disagree. They look nothing short of mouthwatering and amazing.

Repurposed Glass Pop Bottles.
I have a few glass pop bottles (NOTE: pop, not soda!) I’ve saved and like this idea for repurposing them. After cleaning the bottles well attach pour tops and house your dish soap, vinegar, oil or whatever else around the kitchen.

Picture It: Hair Flipping.
As a sort of “expansion” of Picture It I’ll be posting photo collections every once in awhile. They’ll be based around either a trend I’m seeing in photography or just a subject I’m especially fond of. I hope you enjoy!

Jan von Holleban.
Jan von Holleban’s Dreams of Flying series literally made me scream things out loud like “That’s so dreamy!” and “Ooh, I love that!”. Seriously. Okay fine, I was screaming them in my head but that’s gotta count for something, right?! Stop by and check out the rest of von Holleban’s portfolio at his site.

The Daily Eat: Deep Dish Quiche.
Maybe I should have considered having Egg Week closer to Easter. But I’ve never been the best at timing.
I adore breakfast for dinner and love dishes that can be eaten any time of day. Deep Dish Quiche fits that bill perfectly. A nice flakey crust filled with all that deliciousness is yummy at any time of day.

Win It: Unique Jewelry by YellowGoat.
There’s no better way to kick off yet another monotonous Monday than with a giveaway, wouldn’t you agree? So let’s do it!
This week you have the chance to win your very own pair of gorgeous Vinea and Folium earrings from YellowGoat. Vinea and Folium is latin for “vine and leaf” which is fitting – the design of these earrings was inspired by a trip to a fishing village with lawns full of vines! Each earring is two parts, a small vine pendant and a larger leaf charm. I’d wear them to dress up for a night out or to the inevitable summer wedding. So pretty!
You know the drill: visit YellowGoat’s shop and comment back with which piece you like best. YellowGoat herself will choose the winner. You have until next Monday, May 4th at noon CST, to leave your comment. Please include your email address or you will not be eligible when the winner is chosen. The winner will be announced shortly after.
Good luck!
