Moroccan Inspired Dessert Table for Sunday Suppers

i know these pictures have been making their rounds already on the blogs, but i couldn't resist sharing them here. Pictured is the dessert table from Sunday Suppers by Karen Mordechai, photographed by Aran Goyoaga of Cannelle et Vanille.

weekend round-up

this weekend i took advantage of my free schedule (no guests, no trips up north, no real plans) to check out some places i've been dying to get to this summer. I went with my roommates to the Brooklyn Flea Market in Fort Greene where i found so great vintage stuff, including a cute little wooden box we're now using as a napkin holder. There was also some great new artsy stuff and fresh food goodies there too. it was a lot of fun, now i want to check out the one on sundays under the brooklyn bridge.

later in the day we made our way to the newly opened High Line Park, and while it was beautiful, i have to say, i've never before had to wait in line to get into a park, though it was worth it, despite the fact that the weather turned for the worse once we got up there. 

on sunday I got to try one of these AMAZING homemade juices from a lady in our neighborhood. The colors and the jars are soooo awesome-looks like something out of a magazine- love it!

party ideas

i came across Simply Radiant blog today and am obsessed! i love it! she has so many great ideas, and her little boy is just darling, but thing i can't get over is this:

it may not look like much here, but it's actually a gutted lemon, filled with jello and sliced (at least i assume that's how she did it)! how cool is that?? it's AMAZING!! and looks so awesome! i definitely plan on attempting it. check out the rest of the yellow party here

Family Reunion

These pictures comes from Wide Open Spaces and offer up some really great party ideas. my favorite is the napkin holders!
