I am looking for a doughnut recipe that I can make at home..any ideas?

p.s. notice s&j chalkboard

pretty in pink

We have been working on a few pink frames for nurseries lately (the girl baby boom continues!) and I got a little carried away looking through old pink photos so I thought I would share a few.  But first -  we are excited about this one!  We are using the wood below to frame this precious vintage alphabet print for the nursery of a little girl we can’t wait to meet ..soon!

 

and on to a few findings from the archive:

 

 

 

 

if you have any pink s&j frames to share please send us a picture!

Checking In...

Please excuse our (seemingly never-ending) absence. We've been a bit busy as of late.

s t e w a r t  &  j a m e s  has been getting some well-deserved attention (what, i can be proud of our little enterprise, can't i?!) and our lives didn't get the memo to otherwise slow down. So here are - or aren't, rather.

here are a few previous posts that will hopefully enhance your start to summer (even if it is technically still a few weeks away):

-a summer sip (can't wait to get my hands on one of these in approximately 2.5 hours)
-good use for your summer produce
-good eats at the beach (and athens for that matter (this is a good time to go - very few students and absolutley no football!)

 and don't forget, we'll be in Charleston in just a few weeks!


Now I'm off to figure out how to make my real life look like the cover of the latest Anthology magazine.

jump on over

to just me, my soldier, & our four little chicks to check out the s&j giveaway she is having today! 

 

At a time when we are remembering those that have sacrificed for this country, we should also remember the families and the sacrifices Stephanie and her four (yes 4!) girls are making. A very good friend of ours (Mandy) directed us to Stephanie’s blog (and her to ours).  Mandy’s husband is also away right now and I can’t imagine the strength and courage it takes for these women day after day but they do it and they do it gracefully.  Stephanie has 4 precious little girls (2 of which are twins!) and Mandy has 1 little boy Ernie (you’ve heard of him!) and one on the way.  Mandy will be giving birth to her little one a couple of months without her sweet husband.  Please say a prayer for her!  And don’t forget to go visit Stephanie’s cute blog and enter to win the frame above!

Have a wonderful week!

Serena & Lily {reinvented}

love this.

Have you had a chance to check out the new-new Serena & Lily catalog? They've rebranded and I like it.

Geometric Nailhead Patterned Upholstered Headboard - be still my heart!

Great Pattern and Color - for the floor - yes!

Dip-Dyed Draperies - yes please (I may or may not already be working on a similar project for a room in my home ... )

(these don't appear to be available for purchase - please advise if you know the contrary to be true)

oh wait! they already put all of my favorite things in one room?! i swear i didn't see that before i picked those faves. maybe i should do styling for them... Serena, Lily - are y'all listening?!

Among the changes is their logo, which they recruited Andy Spade to create - clever girls. This rebrand is an attempt to move outside of nurserys, they explained in the latest issue of Lonny Mag - check it out for the full story.

this week in pictures

Life has been fun and hectic and exciting and just a small itty bit stressful lately.  We are so close to being out of school we are just pretending like we already are (besides actually attending). 

 

The picture above makes me laugh…the girls spend so much time on our bed and Mills rarely stops moving these days.  We also had a friend over that we love!  If you have kids and don’t have a tent like this – it is a must-have Santa gift!  (i do realize it’s just May) Easy to move around and you can take it anywhere.  I would tell you where to get it but ours was passed on from someone else so I’m not sure!  Please leave a comment if you know!

 

and away from home…

In case you are 1 of the 2 people in this world that aren’t on facebook, you may have not heard…but our frames were on The Nate Berkus Show. (i know there is at least one person in the world that’s not on facebook because it’s our friend shanna..and you may be the other one, but that’s it – i’m certain)

 

And how lucky am I to have a partner that throws a viewing party (for 2) like this.  Doughnuts are not pictured but were an important part to the excitement! 

Also on my camera this week:

 

This is the entryway to Kay Fuller Interiors (arre borrowed my camera – she works there) If you don’t know us, you may not know that our Mother-in-law is a talented decorator and has a store here in town.  I just loved this picture arre took so wanted to throw it out there!  Like Kay Fuller Interior’s on facebook and if you are local – go see the store!  She has some really great finds!

And lastly – I snapped this picture of Mills this morning.  I was talking to Molly about how I was going to work again today and Mills listened and froze her face like this staring at me (long enough for me to grab the camera).  I am not sure if it’s terror or confusion.

Thanks to our Nate Berkus appearance we’ve been a bit busier and I think she’s wondering if I am ever coming back or if she gets to eat ice cream sandwiches for breakfast every morning (like this morning).  

Have a wonderful weekend friends!
