Becky Kazana's Flamingo Cake Toppers in Bride to Be Magazine Australia

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, this editorial in Bride to Be magazine is a gorgeous smattering of things I love! Champagne, macarons, lanterns, tea, cakes, peonies- and Becky Kazana's best selling Flamingo Cake Toppers are the stars of the show! Although this spread appeared last year, I am still getting orders from brides who saw them here first. Don't you love the model's fluttery organza dress? It makes me want to throw a mad and glamorous tea party!

Simple Pleasures: Old Issues of National Geographic

I am practicing constant vigilance. Really I am. But when I saw this towering stack of National Geographic circa 1965-75 in the "free" bin outside my favorite thrift store, I paused. I hemmed. I hawed. And then I thought, What am I? Made of stone?

They smell musty. But I don't care. I'm working my way through, an issue at a time. Have you ever rescued a stack of these yellow spined beauties?
