frenchie friday: ack bound
i'm feeling a little guilty leaving my two 4 legged babies behind this weekend as i head to nantucket for winefest. i'm sure i'll get over it after one million cocktails. but much like their mama, nantucket is george & loo's happy place.
excited for a trip in the family truckster
even horseface and georgey bond on ack
maniac!
loo is a bit more chill. obvs.
be good, my sweet ones. i'll miss you.
happy weekend, everyone!
frenchie friday : jen huang photography
so i stumbled upon a glorious image of a cake by jen huang on pinterest
. . . minutes later i found this one.
so i did what any crazy dog lady person would do, and sent her an e-mail asking all about the pups and bombarding her with the stunning images of my george & loo by white loft studio while i was at it. obvs.
lucky for me, these adorbs pups {gatsby & pepper} do belong to jen and she didn't think i was a complete nutjob {well, at least she didn't tell me if she did}. also lucky for me, this led me to jen's other work. it is so beautiful and goes way beyond frenchies.
here's a preview.
swoon.
frenchie fete
my fave lil hoot party was featured on amy atlas yesterday. i had such big fun working on this frenchie fete for my four year old daughters who are somehow fixated on going to paris {obvs not happening}.
hangin' with george & looloo {our french bulldogs} and a 7ft. light up eiffel tower prom decoration will have to do for now!
jayme marie designs never ever disappoints and we just had too much fun with this one! look at the adorbs invite she created for the lucky birthday girls.
she also created all of the paper goods for the party, including the keepsake poster behind the dessert table. and the pin the beret on the frenchie poster! and the precious favor tags, and jar labels, and the dessert labels . . . the mini french flags . . . i could go on and on {literally because i worship this woman and her positively charming designs!}
speaking of the dessert table, pickwick baking co. outdid herself . . . again. every delectable french creation she slaved over on that table tasted every bit as good as it looked. {i should post the pics of the post-party croquembouche. i meaaan, not okay. had many a miranda moment when i was eating the remaining morsels out of the trash. TMI?}
BEYOND delish. ali is a french pastry genius.
pickwick for prez!
btw, how miz pumped are george & loo in their striped shirts?
i am drooling reliving this dessert table. the chocolate mousse. . . omg, sinful.
and the "pancake cakes" for C & P! they each had their individual crepe cakes with their fave flavors.
if i absolutely had to choose a fave, it would be the sweet charlottes. they were divine!
but wait, the croissants? i die. they were perfection. if you ever have a chance to buy some pickwick croissants, do it. {or don't do it because it will ruin every croissant you ever taste again on this side of the atlantic.}
some other fun deets . . . my parisian themed books for the kiddos to read . . .
pin the beret on the frenchie. . .
monkeying around the eiffel tower and demonstrating impressionistic techniques on their favor mugs. . .
{p.s. love that the guests dressed the part! or wait, i maybe suggested that. . . either way impressive that they listened to miss bossypants hostess}
the mugs at each place setting on the bistro tables with the frenchie cookies . . .
the cookies created by batches. so yummy and so adorbs!
the personalized favor jars with hot cocoa and mini-parisian landmarks spray-painted silver.
viva la france!
and viva la meredith michaud nelson of meredith nelson photography!
thank you for commemorating yet another birthday with your beautiful work. can nevah evah thank you enough. merci beaucoup just doesn't cut it!
so again, so much vendor love to jayme marie designs, pickwick baking co., and meredith nelson photography. so inspired by you all. . .
and thank you to our little guests - we love you!
but the biggest thank you of all goes to my favorite "clients". seeing the world through your eyes is a joy greater than i could have ever hoped for or imagined.
joyeux anniversaire, mes filles douces !
{yikes, i am super emo today! big post tomorrow on why. . . stay tuned}
frenchie friday: 2 for you. . .1 for moi!
need two of these for the girlies. . .
and obvs one of these for myself.
love that designers everywhere are encouraging my creepy dog lady wardrobe.
worship the crewcuts tee inspired by the pups at central park, my fave place evah to walk george & loo. we haven't been since c & p were born.
but i have a plan for when my georgey isn't happy on this earth anymore. {WOMP}
i'm taking that badass mother-effer back to NYC . . .

the horse is putting us up at the carlysle and i'm ordering his naughtiness a steak via room service and taking him for a spin around the park.
is anyone else concerned between this and the sock post that i've lost it?
happy frenchie friday and HAPPY weekend!
frenchie flashback friday
as everyone freaks out in anticipation of the naughty nemo, i decided to take a look back at georgey's first maj snowstorm. totes got carried away looking through the archives.
it was just about 7 years ago, before this precious 5 pound angel joined us.
not too much has changed. i mean the saab hatchback is long gone {miss!} and the red couch has taken up permanent residence in mantown. obvs.
but i think some similar pooch canoodling will go on this weekend.
stay safe and warm everyone! happy friday. . .happy blizz
I RESOLVE. . .
to be a better blogger!
i'm both shocked and embarrassed that i have not posted since november. i meeaaaan, that's a lil ridic. i have 101 excuses but i also resolve to stop making excuses . . . hmmm . . . so i guess i'll just start back up again and hope you'll forgive me? pretty please with veuve on top?

the good news is that i have lots of fun things to share. so much so that i don't even know where to begin {sigh}
how about the last 24 hours and then i'll work backwards?
first of all, santa brought me a new TV for my bedroom. i saw an oprah once {God i miss that woman} that said there should be a NO TV in the bedroom rule. another friend {let's call her 'heater'} casually mentioned she didn't have one because it would mean the demise of her marriage. so as CBC just hooked up 42 inches of marital doom, i realize that i'm okay with it. i hope we are strong enough to make it through this new addition in our lives, but if not, i'm keeping the tv {and george. obvs.} TV is pretty much the only thing i love more than . . . well, everything, including the horseface himself. {kidding. . . sort of}
okay, in another surprising turn of events, i attended my first patriots game yesterday! it was about 46 degrees below zero and glorious. i drank a thousand coors lights and officially feel foul as we enter 2013. i resolve to do something about that, too.
so very very much more to share but i think i need a nap. and the 42 inches of impending divorce is calling my name.
and then i need to rally for tonight. i'm a little behind the 8 ball and there is more food & booze on the horizon. obvs. just what lil hoot needs. i'm wearing this number. and my hair pretty much looks like the model's right now so we're all set there.
oh, and i simply canNOT go another second without publicly thanking ms. meredith nelson photography, white loft studio, and the mostest fabulous friend and graphic designer evah, miss lucinda of chocolate creative design. all these lovelies helped me create a pretty darn good Christmas card this year. some of you are aware that i am in an intense Christmas card competition . . . with myself. i usually win. ha! {btw, i'm so glad i'm still hilare after my hiatus}
okay, so i'll send pics of the actual factual card later but here are the images we used.
can you even stand it? this 'emergency' photo shoot with confetti was well worth the clean up. i love these images with all of my heart for so many reasons. not the least of which is that they will forever remind me of how lucky i am to have a friend like meredith, who despite me being a high-maint pain in the ass, miraculously still likes me. oh, meredith, these bring me such joy, sweet lady. you are amazing. xoxoxo
oh and whaaattttt?? hello, my fave pup pictures EVAH. when you see the rest of this gloriousness from miss heidi of white loft studio you just might die. i want you all to make it to 2013 so i'll hold the rest back until then. because i mean it, you'll DIE. i have heart palpitations every time i look at them.
i am so darn lucky to have these talented ladies in my life. they inspire me so and make my heart happy {so corny. . . so true}
miss lu also helped me with my fave christmas gift i've ever given. ahhhhh, cannot wait to share with you! i think tomorrow is the day as i can't think of a better way to kick off the new year of blogging.
happy happy happy new year to you all. so sorry again for falling off the grid.
i have missed you so and you'll be sick of me in no time.
and i leave you with this, because as previously mentioned, i heart oprah.
