Kyle had this dress for me as a surprise a few nights ago! It perfectly matches the dessert I had made.
To make that delicious treat, it's very simple...


mix half a tub of ricotta with half a cup powdered sugar,
one tablespoon vanilla, one tablespoonish cinnamon,
and the juice from two large strawberries.
Mix it all together until smooth, add extra of whatever you find necessary to make it tastier.
Spoon into sponge cups, and add sliced strawberries and blackberries!
Let me know if you try it.


Things have been pretty busy since getting home from Portland. Lots of collaborations and commissions are underway, including something sweet with the always wonderful nadinoo (I'm still waiting for the perfect day to wear my lula's untie me top!), Audrey Grace Boutique, and my amazing friend emily of Tender Cuts.

I also had the pleasure of meeting the adorable Vanessa of The Velvet Bird! She's so sweet and perfectly southern sounding, and it turns out we know some of the same people! Check out her blog if you haven't.


It's very humid, the weather man said it's worse humidity than the amazon. Hard to believe for a place that's frozen 9 months of the year.

What a sweet surprise! You look so gorgeous, as does that dessert. You have such an eye for pairing photos and items of interest. Hope you can escape the humidity somehow : )

I bought Lula today! It's always a wonderful day when I walk into Borders and see Lula on the shelf, I don't even open it, I go straight to the register and buy it! Your dessert looks yummy. And you look beautiful-- as always.

I love your dress! I looks perfect on you, and I would love to try out your recipe but I'm afraid I don't know what a sponge cup is :S
