Can you believe that this is a DIY project?! The cider was hand pressed and the labels were made by the couple. And all of this for about $2.00 a bottle. What a fabulous favour for a wedding. Check out the post at 100 Layer Cake.
Regardless of how much my dog would enjoy this food...I would totally buy this. The packaging is awesome. As we all know, I'm a total sucker for packaging. You could literally sell me garbage, just as long as the package looked nice!
p.s. I love the colour combos...sometimes you need to look in an unexpected place to find inspiration for your wedding!

I think everyone in university probably had a papasan chair. They are probably the most comfortable chairs ever, but they have never been particularly attractive. Well, look what I found at Pier 1...an outdoor papasan chair! With cool cushions!! They have all kinds of colourful patterns, like stripes and florals, and the chair looks like wicker, but is actually plastic. To top it off, it's on sale...LOVE it! I am totally going to pick one up. Combined with one of their very nice outdoor carpets, I will have the perfect reading spot outside. And, BTW, Pier 1 has come a long way...no longer are they wicker furniture and Indian print fabrics...they had a lot of nice tableware, pictures and cushions. Definitely worth a stop!

I just picked up the latest issue of Canadian Gardening yesterday. The hanging basket on the cover really caught my eye. I love the colours. I LOVE the fact that you don't have to water it very much even more! That's perfect for me, because though I'm very enthusiastic about gardening at the beginning of the season, a few weeks in I get kind of bored.
Wouldn't these colours be perfect for a wedding...and florals combined with succulents would be very elegant! So, I did a search on some pictures for inspiration, and here we go....

It's May 5th, and that means it's my sister-in-law's birthday, but it also means it's Cinco De Mayo! And seriously...is there anything better than a cold margarita and some guacamole?? I never used to think that I liked margaritas (you know, sometimes that tequila brings back bad memories), but then, on a trip to Arizona, I had the most amazing margarita at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale. Now, we're not talking the frozen blender kind..we're talking on the rocks, and it was DEE-LISH! And wouldn't you know it...the Four Seasons also had the most amazing guacamole that they served with blue corn chips. Needless to say, for that one week, everyday at about 4pm, we noshed on guac and margaritas and it was the best time ever. Not that any of this has to do with Cinco De Mayo..but the day just got me thinking of the perfect cocktail hour!
