That Rainbow Cake

Surely you have seen it. I had come across images all over bloghood and I was wondering if someone with my feeble culinary skills and general lack of patience could attempt to make the rainbow cake.

Thanks to this tutorial on Angry Julie Monday, I was actually able to pull it off! I would definitely recommend giving it a try for your next party- the oohs and aahs will brighten the guest of honor's day as much as this colorful dessert does....well, almost :).

a cool palette

It's going to be in the triple digits this week here in NC and I am not looking forward to it. All I want to do is crawl into the briskness and coolness of these pieces by Luci Everett. Aren't they the loveliest reminder of a refreshing spring day?

wearing sunshine

by Monsoon (via Coquette & Dove)


Every dress I'm drawn to right now is the brightest of yellows. I don't know if it's the influence of the blazing North Carolina sun or my desire to emphasize the fact that I already look like a giant beach ball, but yellow dresses are calling to me...

postage art

by mattelutta (via These are a few of my favourite things...)

We are in the process of painting pretty much the entire house before the baby is born. I'm excited about the loveliness of clean walls as well as rearranging our wall art. Right now, much of the stuff we have up we have up to mask the the dingy walls so I'm looking forward to putting things up more carefully and selectively. One thing I want to do for a pop of color is frame some stamps. I inherited a big collection from my grandmother and it would be nice to organize them in a neat display (by color, into a shape, maybe blow up my favorite?). I'm already knee deep in inspiring ways to do just that....

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

via my vintage vogue

Here's just a little round-up of some of the shades of a certain lovely color in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Yeah, I know, there isn't a single darn image of green Guinness, but a video on how to make green macaroons (at the bottom) should make up for that one particular absence... :)

"National Geographic" yellow

by Sally Curcio


As a bookend to Lorelei's post about images from "National Geographic" - here's a round-up of images of the "National Geographic." Mostly of its famous yellow-colored spine and how it can be just the right shot of color in decor or as decor (yes, that is a bookshelf made out of magazines near the bottom of the list!).

House Crush

I first saw this house on the katy elliot blog and then followed her link to the original listing at 1st-Option London. This home is like a breath of fresh air. I love how white, light, and airy it is without feeling cold or stark. It is just so clean and tidy looking.....swoon.

Thursday, Winter White, and Etsy

flurries cowl- handmade with suri alpaca courtesy of windowsill

I remember when I bought my wedding dress that the color was "winter white", not white or off-white or ivory, but winter white...ever since then I have liked the idea that there is a shade of white out there by this name.
I decided since we are into January now that I would do a Thursday and Etsy post all about winter white. It was interesting because in my search I discovered that this one color, in its infinite range of tones and values, can be cool or warm, cozy or formal, casual or elegant, but I always think it is beautiful.

For the art lovers, some winter whites found in various mediums....
