family supper club

My family likes to eat, likes to talk about eating and loves to eat while talking about eating. Inspired by my foodie friends, I decided to take this collective love and formalize it. We are not fancy people so the group named it "Stuff your face supper club", this is not dapper dining- if someone has the urge to lick the plate then we know it was a damn good meal, right? I made these simple little supper club booklets to formalize our new club, so here we go.

There are six of us, each person chooses a restaurant of their choice. The only rule is you have to coordinate the reservation and rally the troop for your pick. Other than that you have to fill out a fairly simple rating sheet for each restaurant we go to. Each restaurant will get an average basic star rating and a average 1-10 rating. I will collect the booklets and tally our scores after each meal.

color love today

I love these bold, bright colors mixed with this neutral stone brown. 

I stumbled across these fantastic planters on Etsy. They are great on their own or with 

some added greenery they will really pop. Tripod planters from Stvdio Brooklyn.

lovin' stone & honey

I was admiring this sweet girl's earrings, she said they were from a little Portland company, Stone & Honey. I am now a huge fan of all the hammered metal, geometric designs. They are unique, simple & something a little different.

words of wisdom from moxie

I had the chance to experience Moxie Conference this past weekend. It was inspiring and although it was the first beautiful spring day Chicago has seen is long time, I was happy to be inside listening to the words of many creative geniuses. I took so much away from this conference but mostly, I have had so many words of wisdom running through my head, I had to share them.

Thank you Uppercase Magazine & Quite Strong for the chance to go to this amazing conference!

Oh, how I do love a pin!

I came home with so much colorful stuff, it was a day to remember...
