Dear Lizzy. Elephantine. Enjoy any good books lately? Here's four I've recently read and would recommend: a dystopian novel, a strange and luminous collection of short stories, and two books for writers: the first because it contains a superb collection of excerpts, and the second for all of its advice from great writers. Snippets from the four books: 1. The Handmaid's Tale (Margaret Atwood) — "We play two games. Larynx, I spell. 2. 3. 4. MadeByGirl. Cupcakes and Cashmere. The Art of Doing Stuff. Threaded Together. A CUP OF JO. Twig & Thistle. I’m so excited to share my Oscar printables for this year! I wasn’t sure if I was even going to do them but I’ve been getting a ton of requests for them and I got really excited about updating the set. The theme this year is black, white, gold and kraft paper. I know, super original, but I think the design is a playful mix of formal and slightly rustic hints.
This year’s entry contains invites, paper oscar statuettes, popcorn boxes, drink tags and of course ballots; everything you need to throw a red carpet party in style! Oh, and I finally put together an “Oreo Cake” that I’ve been obsessed with since I saw it the Martha Stewart 2010 September issue. Tasty, but mighty dangerous indeed! OSCAR INVITATIONThis simple invite gets some glamour when paired with a black string & button envelope. PAPER OSCAR STATUETTES I didn’t know if this idea was going to work but I knew I wanted to create a three-dimentional form of the oscar somehow for the decorations and table setting.
