tea for two

This picture of my mom reminded me of a scene in the movie "Grey Gardens", when Big Edie is sitting with a giraffe print blanket on her lap.



It just dawned on me that if we had more money, my mom and I would be a modern day Mexican Big Edie and Little Edie. I should start practicing my dancing and start collecting head scarves just in case.

valentine's day project

Hang on to your sweet tooth... I was recently introduced to my new favorite blog, Bakerella, and the most recent entry almost knocked me out of my chair. Once I recover and wipe the drool from my monitor, I'm going to attempt the Valentine's Day Gift Box project! At the very least, I'm going to make those Red Velvet Cake Balls, which sound like something lifted straight out of my dreams. I apologize in advance to anyone in my neck of the woods for your soon to be expanding waistlines!
