Spotlight - Cocoa Lane Sweeterie

This past weekend, I attended the Deer Creek Wedding Show with a client whose wedding decor I am helping with. It was great to learn about the many wonderful local businesses out there, and see some friendly faces (like Mint Floral and her beautiful arrangements). Durham Region certainly has some creative entrepreneurs. One company in particular stood out to me for it's beautiful booth. Cocoa Lane Sweeterie is a Brooklin-based bakery, with an absolutely gorgeous feminine aesthetic. Pinterest worthy to say the least--I mean how cute is that set up?!

Thanksgiving Inspirations

Burnt oranges and deep hues of red are quintessentially Fall. However, I thought it would be fun to look outside the norm and find inspiration in these non-traditional Thanksgiving tables capes. After all--purples, greens, blues and golds might be better suited to your home's pre-existing decor and china. Working with what you already have, will create a more cohesive and complimentary table design.

Gratitude Journal

My aunts are a force to be reckoned with! So when a milestone birthday for my Aunt Donna arrived, they got together and threw her the most elegant Indian Tea Party. I am grateful for my family every day, but especially this week. Check out the photos of this beautiful Sunday spent in the garden.
