Happy Love Day!
We had a nice morning around here. I got up early and made pancakes for Thomas and my version of eggs Benedict for Matt & I.
Thomas and I are playing around on our apple gadgets for a while and then we will go on some kind of adventure before I begin cooking dinner.
Hope you have an amazing day. Full of love, kindness, & joy.
XOXO,

The weekend according to my instagram
Starbuck’s Valentine’s Day Cup warms me up inside and out.
A Saturday afternoon drive down the coast made me feel so grateful to live in this incredible place.
Some delicious looking goodies from Olive Grocer in Belmont Shores. We got an amazing pack of various olives. So delish!
A new straw purchase which made my iced coffee a little extra festive.
The yummiest pretzel bread, roasted duck breast, goat cheese, & mustard sandwich from the cheese shop at the OC Mix Mart. (More on that later this week)
Lastly, my man looking handsome on our way to dinner at Watermarc in Laguna Beach. Thanks Singer fam for the Gift Certificate!
Hope you had the loveliest of weekends and your Monday is starting off splendidly!
What was that? Oh yep! Etsy shop launched!
The Alder Designs Etsy shop is live. After a big week, we are so glad that we hit our goal and set everything up. We will be adding new items daily, but for now we are pretty excited about what we have going on. A lot of it was inspired by Valentine’s Day so we put together a little dessert table inspiration. Major thanks to Ali Winston Photography & Jessica Murray Designs for all their help. They are seriously AMAZING!
Anyways, here is a couple photos of the shoot with our etsy products:
Ooooh so fun. We had the best time putting together all of the treats & and goodies. Pink, glitter, & sparkle… everything nice.
Dig it? We really hope so! Make sure to check it out and grab some last minute Valentine’s Day goodies!

Coming Soon….
I am VERY excited to announce that after much anticipation, preparation and questioning my creative abilities I am finally, almost ready to launch my Etsy shop. This is something I have been working on since last Fourth of July. I originally wanted to open by the end of the summer, but life got away from me and the whole idea was put on the back burner. Although it was something I was constantly thinking about and hoping that one day I would get it off that back burner.
So, one of my first goal as we began 2012 was to get my shop up and running. I was going to attempt to create a shop on my own site. But with everything going on I am going to save that idea for alter and start on Etsy. Hoping I can get a bit of a following that will lead into opening my own shop.
I have been crafting quite a bit for the past couple of weeks and have gathered some old projects to create an inventory. It has become abundantly clear to me that it will be mostly a party supplies shop. I will constantly try new things and create new items, but all of what I have now are projects that I have enjoyed doing for a while now. Something that comes naturally.
Yay! Interested? I hope so!
Here is a sneak peek:
Please check back this weekend or early next week for the official announcement and opening! Yipee!!
Thank you for helping to push me to try all of these fun ideas and providing motivation to keep working on this amazing creative outlet. I couldn’t do it without all of your support!

Green Garden Stamps
A dear friend and fellow blogger Amanda @ igoyougo.wordpress.com partnered up with some companies to win items from their stores. This past week I was the winner for the Green Garden Stamp : ). I contacted the seller this past weekend and she has already started working on the stamp. I am planning to use it for Tom’s Valentines at school!
The seller seems really nice! Thanks Amanda!
Fun Valentines Gift
