Coffee with R

The other day I was able to meet up with Rachel (R) for coffee. Okay, we met up for cake, but there was coffee too!


The storefront was adorable- and I wish I had pictures to display.

Check out the website to get a sense of the store's style. The overall branding and set-up is developed very well and just screams "inspiration"- in lady-like way, of course. Just another endeavor to add to our list (which already includes Bed and Breakfast, event planning and design, among others).

The following is a screen shot of the website. It's not the main page, but I liked this link because it describes the overall experience of visiting the store. Rachel and I visited the one on Pacific street in Omaha, and the ladies helping us out were very knowledgeable and friendly.

When you can't get something out of your head, that means you should just buy it

I fell in love with the spoons when I saw them in a Martha Stewart magazine. I kept thinking about them and saved some of my Christmas/Birthday money to order them online. I haven't used them yet, but I get giddy just looking at them. I used to open the box to peek in at them, but now I just have them open and on display.

Sweets and Treats

I should rename this blog and solely concentrate on desserts; I certainly have enough material to do so.

My Twin discovered The Joycup Co. through one of the many millions of blogs that she has in her RSS feed. Last spring, when I was trudging through my Lincoln job search and a certain design job fell through, she and R ordered these treats. We were in heaven! Their support and the unique treats lifted my spirits. (The cups even came with a handmade tag purchased from a crafter on etsy.com.)


This time I unwrapped a few Joycups from my friend for a happier occasion- when she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding! I was almost as excited for the present as I was for the question. And I must say, the lemon peanut butter cup was superb!
