As much as I love a long, cathedral-length veil caught on the wind, it’s always the short, puffy, or vintage ones that get socked away in my “someday” folder. What’s your favorite kind?

To be honest, I wasn’t feeling too jazzed about some of the boards I’d whipped up at the end of 2009. Pretty? Yes. But nothing that really made me proud. But this one! This one! I think I’m in love. The color palette bears some resemblance to my favorite wedding of all time, but in a bit more glittery, wintery way. I also love how ladylike this board is — the frilly cake, the shades of pink and blue, the antique handkerchief ring pillows, the pink champagne. On second thought, maybe this would be better for a bridal shower…

Remember this post? I think I might have found my complementary pattern, and it’s the Meridan set from Pottery Barn. It’s a wee bit pricy, but I think even just two of the shams could go a long way towards spicing up the duvet. The quilt, of course, would be a nice bonus. Thoughts?

Covet! Covet! I am constantly in turmoil over the best way to store my recipes (hmmm, sound familiar?) but I think I could commit to a system if that system happened to come in the form of this darling lacquered box from sugar paper. What do you think?
