Chocolate Truffle Surprise....

Same thing, different year...Resolutions....

Every year I proclaim "I will get in shape!!". 

Blah Blah Blah....

Every year it's the same.. I try and try but then I have to battle those dreams of cream puffs that dance in my head.

Maybe, I shouldn't be so hard on myself..Maybe it's ok to indulge once in a while...

We'll friends this one is for you...

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

These are as easy peasey to make as they are going down!!

Check out this ridiculously amazing recipe at Love and Olive Oil.

This post goes out to my friend, the Lovely Miss Sue Irvine, who just so happens to manage THE most fabulous and beautiful Inn in Connecticut, The Inn at Stonington.

Sue..might I suggest making these this afternoon before the snow falls..

Can you even imagine getting snowed in at The Inn at Stonington with these decadent treats...

My oh my!!!

3 creatives and 1 cute as a button couple = A Fab Save the Date!

I tend to veer away from creating Save the Dates using images of the couples. However, when you get to work with an amazing photographer, a cute as a button couple and a very sparkly coordinator the results can be magical. 

Working again with Miss Erin Ethier was a dream come true..She absolutely knows Rustic Chic elegance...If you don't believe me check out her blog Sparkle and Hay. She just so happens to be coordinating and designing the fabulous wedding of Amanda & Geoff this June. They wanted something simple, personal and whimsical (perfect for chocolate creative design!)...Oh and Amanda LOVES mason jars..Her blog The Vintage Mason proves it!!

Then along came the amazing Miss Suzanna March...who shot the most dreamy engagement images EVER...

So with all these creatives...my job was certainly very very easy!!

The custom logo/monogram which was created for Amanda & Geoff was not only printed on the Save the Date but was created into a stamp that can be used throughout the wedding..

Let your imagination grow..Snow..Pillows...Blankets..

Image by Tim Macpherson


Once again they are predicting snow in New England. Plows are anxiously awaiting the first flake, while homeowners pull out their shovels in angst.
For some, snow isn't even an option...sooo..why not use your imagination..it's amazing what can happen.. 
I LOVE this image by Tim Macpherson...it resonates in me so many wonderful memories as a child. My parents had the perfect spiral staircase which was covered in plush carpeting. As much as wall to wall carpeting creeps me out now, as a kid...it's a dream come true. Blankets, sleeping bags, giant bean bags, boxes and pillows would whoosh my brother and I down our own indoor luge. Years before helmets, we strangely never cracked a skull. The only damage..laughing till our bellys ached.


So who needs snow...just open your mind and let your imagination grow...

Dreams of being a Superhero....
