kid photos
/For those of you who take fabulous pictures of your kids on a daily basis, you must share! How do you do it? What kind of camera do you use? My photos turn out just fine- and I actually think I'm doing pretty well until I see some like these. I snagged these from a friend's Facebook page. They're great- right?
My problem is that I don't want to carry around a huge camera (been there, done that). Yes- the photos turn out with that depth-of-field I aim for, but I almost never have the camera with me (since it is such a huge pain to carry around). I have a simple, small, point & click that I love for daily use...but with my son's birthday coming up I am yearning for something more for my photos!
high vs. low
/I've come across two French-themed birthday parties this week...for a one year-old and the other for a two year-old. The one year-old party is a bit over the top and must have cost thousands and thousands of dollars. The other is still gorg (check out that cake!), but on a much more modest scale. Which do you like? Personally, a party on that level for a one year-old makes me gag (even if they do have the money!), but that's just me. I really adore the two year-old's party, however!

/Anna Williams' photographs are beyond beautiful. I love the compositions she's created on her website- the purple/yellow and blue wallpaper/blue plate are among my favorite. I'm studying the bottom two photographs for table spread styling ideas!
Brooke designed her website- great job, Brooke!

/I'm sad to see that the Toast & Tables blog is now defunct. I hope its author will at least keep the archives up and running-- there is so much great table decor inspiration in one place! Above are some favorites.
