Did you know that Sylvia Weinstock has a blog? She showcases her gorgeous cakes. Here are two of my favorites. The hand painted stamp cake blows my mind. Stamp on the left. Cake on the right. Fabulous, right?

I live awfully close to a J.Crew outlet, but for those not so lucky, there’s now the J.Crew Factory Outlet available online. It’s only open three days a week – Friday through Sunday – so, you’ve got to get while the getting’s good. Happy shopping!

i just did a double take when i saw these bangles + rings posted on weddingbee. do you see the faces? each is custom made from a photograph that you provide. i’d love to get a thin ring made with emily’s silhouette. so sweet.

i always look forward to seeing the new holiday stamps that come out each year. and, while checking to see if usps had any postage stamps that would work on our halloween invites, i spotted this year’s offerings. i really like them! you can pre-order them here and here. oh, and it looks like the evergreens stamp is a forever stamp, meaning we finally have something besides the liberty bell that will be valid even if stamp prices go up.

this has just been added to my wish list. for the dispenser alone.

with our little em turning a year old in nearly six months, i’ve started to bookmark lots of pretty parties. i can’t seem to get enough.

i spotted this pretty pink princess party today. there’s so much i love about it. handmade 14 inch birthday candle. costumes on a rack. pale pink desk for the drink area. mason jars. stripey straws. and a fairy princess for story time. love, love, love.

check out the rest of the pictures + plenty more details here.

I get the Felt & Wire newsletter and this was one of the items featured in it today. A journal handmade out of the Michael Jackson Thriller vinyl album. I think it’s brilliant, and a steal for $30. There are other album options also. Check them out here.

Have a great weekend!

have you seen princess lasertron’s new dress line? love, love!
