cheese please

Recently over at the fabulous Sunday Suppers, they gave us a peek at the dessert cheese table they created for their feature on Martha's wedding blog, detailed in several posts. I thought the whole idea was brilliant and beautifully presented -- I had to share.

As Casey mentions, "it is very attainable for every bride—DIY brides to high end wedding planner events can mold this idea to fit their budget" and I just love the versatility in this project. The DIY possibilities for a buffet like this are endless.

Its all just so rustic and chic. The divine cheeses... the beautiful fresh fruits... the crusty baguettes... the golden honey... the gorgeous cake stands and cloches... I'm in love.

They even shared their tips for selecting cheese for your own spread, plus how-tos for the honey fromage blanc and granola party favors. So go have a look! x

food for thought

I just discovered Brooklyn-based illustrator Claudia Pearson yesterday via decor8, and I have completely fallen in love with her 2010 seasonal produce calendars! I still haven't gotten a pretty new calendar for this year (yes, I'm a slacker) but, I think I've found the one for me.

These lovelies encourage you to buy local, with beautiful illustrations showcasing the produce in season during the months -- helping you change up your fruit & veggie intake, get the freshest ingredients available and perhaps keep you on track with those resolutions to eat better. Cute and practical. Love!

She makes three different versions - 6x9" printed, tea towel and poster - all available in her sweet shop. Check out her blog for recipes that coincide with her featured produce, too!
