casting call!

Lisa Warninger and I are holding a casting call in Portland on Sunday, April 11th. If you have an interest and/or experience in modeling, or just enjoy being in front of the camera, we'd love to meet you. We are looking for men, women, and kids (5-8) to cast in lifestyle and wedding editorials. Please click here for details.

If you've modeled before, have a portfolio and would like to participate in TFP shoots, you can just email us with a link to your portfolio.

charming french napkins

  

David Lebovitz did a great post about French napkin traditions and I simply love the idea of writing each guest's name directly onto the napkin. I am taking note for my next dinner party!

Thankfully, I gave up Internet dating years ago, but how cute is this ad for Match.com in the UK?

spring blossoms

  

Last week was full of gorgeous spring days! Sadly the rain is back but I am so inspired by the bottom photo, I want to search out some apple blossom to make spring arrangements with the ranunculus I have lying about (tip: Tj's has 10 stem ranunculus bunches for $3.50 right now!).

this week i love: 03.29.10

 

Three long-time blog favorites:

1. Nibs. I absolutely love the way Martha looks to the past for inspiration, often identifying current trends in old tear-sheets from magazines and catalogs.

2. 3191. The simplicity and small life moments showcased are staggeringly beautiful.

3. Ill Seen, Ill Said. A daily read! I love Jane's effortlessly cool style and her way with words.

terra cotta baking dishes

 

When I was in Greece, I went crazy for the cute little terra cotta pots that many of the meals were served in. These terra cotta pieces, designed by Russell Pinch for the Jamie Oliver kitchen line, are just lovely. Individual serving dishes are so adorable for dinner parties!
