Trend Lightly

Growlers Anyone?

The first time I saw a growler was at my best friend's house. I fell in love with it and had to have one (which I'm still waiting on Cienna!) It's from a store called in.gredients. From there I learned of the growler craze that was sweeping the hipster nation. The ability to bring home your favorite bevy from supplied from your favorite bar, genius! Being a Pabst girl I wasn't interested in the growlers contents, but more for the growlers aesthetic.

Recently my boyfriend and I moved to Minneapolis, a city of microbreweries and growler sympathizers! You can read all about the movement here: http://mnbeeractivists.com/legislativeevents/save-the-growler

The perfect city to support my new project of decorating the kitchen with these dark beauties.

(I love the pairing of the growler and antiques)

(The one that started it all)

(All in a row)

(A bit extreme, but I'm sure it works somewhere.)

(A local brewery in these parts, and my favorite growler thus far!)

Hopefully I can think of a clever way to decorate the kitchen, if so, I'll post them!

Fresh Out Of The Oven!

I was at the Minneapolis Airport this past weekend and I found a Bread and Boxers stand at one of the gift outlets and couldn't resist taking a picture. I love their packaging and think it is incredibly clever! See for yourself.

I'm Mad For It!!!

Yesterday I found myself and the DVR at odds over what to watch and what to record. Game of Thrones? The 2hr premiere of River Monsters, or the 2hr Mad Men premiere? Well, Mad Men triumphed and it lived up to all the anticipation. I won't give away to many spoilers but I will tell you Betty's new hair color....perfect!

Green Thumb, Marimo Style!

I'm not one for living plants indoors but my boyfriend is...so in the grand tradition of living together we compromised. They are called Marimo and they have a huge following. They're a great way to add some green around the place, bring good luck, and they make great pets too.

French Decadence as Spring Inspiration

The ladies of Versailles provide inspiration for Spring windows! Below are photos of Zara's windows and you can definetly see the Marie Antoinette influence with their hair/wigs and make-up.
