animal themed baby shower

  

designsgirl shot this animal-themed baby shower for REstyleSOURCE which coincided with a real baby shower for my friend Paula who asked me to design a Kitschy Regal bunny baby shower invitation.

Decor featured an unique porcelain swan cake stand, colorful family china and silver and animal place card holders.

the velvet touch

designsgirl created this lifestyle feature for REstyleSOURCE to showcase the simple ways that velvet adds a luxurious touch to holiday decor. 

suitcase love note series

When designsgirl began learning to use the Wacom drawing tablet, one of the first projects created was these hand lettered Suitcase Love Note cards for Valentine's Day.

Suitcase Love Notes are featured on REstyleSOURCE.

 

restyle source/a floral luncheon

designsgirl was selected by REstyleSOURCE to create a story based on the swell paper goods of Hester & Cook.

Tussie mussies, hand wrapped gifts and calligraphied menus and placecards were featured (albeit with a flatware placement faux pas with the fork and knife). To see more, visit restylesource.com.

exalted indispensables no. 8: nutribullet smoothies

REstyleSOURCE asked its contributors to share a favorite New Year's health tip and for my husband and me, it is the nutritious smoothie made from our indispensible Nutribullet.

Nutribullets are great because, with them, you retain all of the fiber and pith of the produce compared with juicing and you do not waste food. Whatever you place into the container is what you will be drinking.

My husband and I use a Nutribullet to make a nutritious smoothie several times a week as a snack or as a meal. 

 

To take advantage of winter's bountiful produce, I combine baby kale leaves, a few brussels sprouts, a slice of parsnip, a handful of pumpkin seeds or walnuts, red Globe grapes, one half of a grapefruit, some pomegranate seeds, a smidgeon of Stevia for sweetness and 10 ounces of water.

 

It is fun to create new blends of ingredients, especially with the change of seasons. The smoothie has become a staple in our meal planning and we love the energy it gives us. Cheers to good health in the new year!
