Even with LA’s most recent heatwave (I love 90 degrees in November!), I was inspired by fall at the […]
Biscuit Bar
From the beginning of planning this party, I knew I wanted the biscuits to be a big deal. It’s a southern party, right?! We needed lots of toppings and fresh biscuits all party long. The “all party long” part posed a challenge. Biscuits are generally pretty easy to make, but baking hundreds in our hot …
Chalkboard Food Labels
To label the food and beverages at our party (wait, which sweet tea is spiked?), we turned old plastic picture frames into mini chalkboards.

Two years ago today, Greg’s little (middle) brother married his college sweetheart. Happy anniversary, Phil and Trish! In their honor, I thought I’d do a little flashback to the gift we made them. (Sorry about the photo quality — they’re the only shots I have!) One of my wedding-gift-giving strategies is to purchase something(s) off …
