Inviting any kids to your wedding events? You'll need these...

Are you inviting any kids to your wedding events? If you are, you may want to order some of these Food Face plates to keep them entertained.

Remember that magnetic man toy where you could give him crazy hairdos? Well now, you can do it with pasta, peas, mashed potatoes and anything else you might have on your plate.

Give me some sugar!

Prima donna bride posted about these DIY sugar cube hearts and I just had to share.


How fun would they be for a bridal tea party, bridal shower brunch or with after wedding coffee? Click here for the DIY directions.

Snap, snap. I've won the picture tag award

The lovely Jane from In the Waiting Lane tagged me with this fun Picture Tag Award. Here are the instructions:

1) go to your pictures on your computer

2) go to your 6th folder

3) choose the 6th picture in that folder

This not particularly flattering picture of me and my friend Eric is from April 2005. We were having dinner with our then newly engaged friends Beth and Isaac at Spice Market in New York's Meatpacking District. Eric is definitely one of my more fearless friends when it comes to trying new foods. We had a delicious meal and for dessert Eric ordered this pungent Durian ice cream. It was absolutely awful and I don't think we took more than a bite each. I checked the menu and they no longer serve it so the coast is clear.

I pass this along to the following six bloggers:

Bling me some ice....

Do you like your drinks on the rocks? I saw this on StyleSchool and it was love at first sight. Leave it to CB2 (Crate & Barrel's young, hip sibling in case you don't know) to offer up blingy ice cube trays?

Each tray has six different shapes (brilliant, emerald, princess, etc.) so you can pick your favorite or mix and match. I think they'd be great for an engagement party, bridal shower or bachelorette night. They'd also be nice for a signature wedding drink or a city-girl cocktail party.

And at just $6.95, its definitely the most affordable way to increase your bling.
