TURTLE BACK ZOO

a few weeks after we moved in, chris's mom and aunt came to stay with us for a long weekend. it was great to have our first house guests, and we took advantage of the great weather by spending one afternoon at our local zoo.

THE OLD ICEBOX

our old fridge
found this random pic of our old fridge on a roll of film i developed this summer.

funny how you piece together refrigerator collages over time without really thinking about it, but looking back each piece evokes a very specific memory or feeling.

TALL TREE CAKES

i made my first wedding cake for nina and todd's nuptuals. it was a special request from the bride so i wanted to make it extra special.

Tree Wedding Cake
after a LOT of planning, a couple technique trials, and a solid amount of fear it came together exactly how i was hoping! i packed the three layers individually for the drive and assembled it on site. (insert more fear here).

TA-DAAA a tree trunk wedding cake with fondant leaves!

THE TN EXPERIENCE

we were so lucky to be part of some of our best friends - nina and todd's - wedding last weekend. they held a camp themed wedding in the adirondacks and it was pure magic.

we arrived to the stunning location to find old log cabins spread out on the bank of a private lake surrounded by woods. nina had decked out each room with lots of goodies, including personalized patches, coozies, lanterns and banners for us to take home.

after the rehearsal there was a bbq feast with todd's dad on the grill. we chowed down at long tables listening to music in an edison bulb lit field.

on the day of the wedding the bridal party hunkered down in the boat house cabin, getting our makeup and hair done while drinking champagne and listening to dirty dancing (on cassette no less) over and over.

the wedding ceremony was everything. it was funny. it was romantic. and it most definitely had a few tear jerker moments. it was followed by a beautiful dinner, speeches, dancing, lots of photobooth pictures, glowsticks and debauchery. you know, exactly what you would expect from nina and todds wedding.
