Who doesn’t love to play with colorful bits of paper and glue? Something about it just brings the kid out in all of us. Crafting cards for Valentine’s Day is just the kind of fun we’re thinking about right now. We love the idea that Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers. When you think [...]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after being with my sweetie for 19 years, it’s that pie is the way to a man’s heart! I’ve made lots of pies for him, including mini-pies and hand pies and even pie-topped pancakes, but these teeny tiny pies seemed like a really sweet way to say “I *heart* [...]

2010 has been a very, very busy year…it just flew by in a blink of an eye. Like many people, we have been working very hard and working long hours. It has been difficult to make time for things outside of the daily routine. We really want 2011 to be different. So five days into [...]

On the eve of 2011, we’d like to wish you a very happy new year!

Whatever your plans may be tonight, a candle-lit dinner party, a black tie event or just snuggling on the couch with your sweetie, we hope it’s special….

And HAPPY!

- Susie and Heidi

My talented husband, Will, recently designed some really cool display trees for a store in Los Angeles called Freehand. The trees are made from plywood and have wood pegs to display ornaments. Will is no stranger to creating unique holiday decorations. Last year he made me this amazing wreath. Pretty awesome for someone who says [...]

Even though it’s going to hit 100 here in Los Angeles this weekend, Fall is definitely in the air. All the leaves have fallen off my sycamore tree and the evenings have been cool enough to justify a sweater. With our climate, we really need to look to see the seasons change, but all the [...]

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream month?  I didn’t either until today, but as far as I am concerned, every month is ice cream month! There is no sweet treat that Susie and I adore more than good old ice cream.

Both of our first jobs were working [...]
