Love letters update: Uh, yeah….I didn’t make it to the letter writing/champagne sipping event. But what I did do instead was start brainstorming about the second annual Valentine’s dinner that we will be hosting again this year. Do you remember last years “Big Night”-themed fete? I am at the beginning of the planning process so most of my focus is on the invitations (last years), tablescape and favors. I’ll leave the meal planning to the gents.

I am having a serious chevron moment right now. Just ask Marcus – he knows all about my obsession. I blame it on spending too much time on Pinterest and reading one too many design blogs. Anywho, I’m thinking about incorporating a little chev (that’s what I like to call it for short – not to be confused with the cheese) into my design.

The more chevron the better.

Speaking of cheese, tomorrow is the “grand opening/thank you for already visiting us” celebration for a great local spot, The Cheese Shop. (Raved about before here.) If you haven’t been, I highly suggest stopping by tomorrow for a little free taste of the good stuff along with a sip of bubbly. I promise once you’ve been there you’ll be counting down the days until you can go back.
