two things

I'm currently crushing on these two items. Isn't that chair amazing?

sunday sweets {snickerdoodles}

Nothing too fancy today, but still absolutely delicious. Now, my all time favorite cookie is just a simple chocolate chip, but snickerdoodles are probably a close second. Growing up, my friend's grandmother made the best, every time we would go over to her house, we'd beg for her to make them, and honestly, I haven't had any that have lived up to her's. However, this recipe is pretty amazing, they might even be as good, but I think I'd need to do a taste test, perhaps I can arrange that on my next visit.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Combine 1 1/2 cups white sugar, butter or margarine, vanilla and eggs. Mix well.

Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Blend well. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Roll dough in sugar/cinnamon mixture and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets.

golden globes recap

Just a few of my favorites from last night, but I'm not going to lie, there was a lot of really great fashion going on. Emma Stone was probably my favorite, can that girl do anything wrong? Really.

stay warm this weekend!

I guess it is still January after all, but I had really hoped the lovely mid-seventies weather was here to stay. I just really love leaving the windows open all the time, but I do look forward to a weekend of cuddling up with some magazines, hot chocolate, and lots of football, nothing wrong with that. Hope your weekend is warm and snuggly!

Meanwhile, around the web:

1. I could really use some of these layers.

2. Adorable idea for Valentine's day desserts.

3. Beyond swoon-worthy cabin wedding.

4. Delicious looking, and beautiful winter salad.

5. How cute is this first birthday party?

6. My favorite fruity beer.

7. And last but not least, the most amazing marriage proposal. I'm actually surprised Jacob didn't think of this, he's obsessed with legos.

moonrise kingdom

New Wes Anderson flick. I will never get tired of his quirky, retro inspired movies. I don't care what anyone says. So psyched.

Two 12 year olds decide to run away together. The girl's parents are Bill Murry and Francis Mcormand. Nuff said.

wedding wednesdays {catbird wedding bands}

Here's the thing, I love my engagement ring so much that I'm honestly not concerned with the wedding bands. Is that weird? Since my engagement ring is round, it either needs and band to wrap around or I will need to move it to my right hand, just when I'm getting used to having it on my left. I never really wore rings before, so it took long enough to accept that I had one on, two may just be too much.

That being said, I believe I could be ok with one of these from catbird. I really love how delicate and simple they all look. Especially that one with the knot in it.

the joy of books

It's no secret that I love books. I also really love stop motion videos. Here they are combined, and my head almost exploded.

Sean Ohlenkamp and his wife Lisa decided to take organizing their bookshelf to the next level in this amazing short for Type Books in Toronto. The music was specially composed by Grayson Matthews. I really wish this is what my books did at night, I'm just going to go ahead and imagine that they do.
