well, the day has finally arrived: i’m on my way to boston for my bachelorette party! i’m heading out early to catch a train up north so i’m ending things early today. but first i wanted to share some info about a fantastic event taking place in brooklyn this weekend. i’m so bummed i’m going to miss it, but for any lucky ducks in nyc this weekend, here’s the rundown. abitare in brooklyn heights is having a fantastic “women artists” event with llubav choy duerr, sarah magid, and frances palmer. i love all three of these ladies’ work so this sounds like one power-house of an event. drop by abitare on saturday, april 4th between 1-4pm and meet the artists and enjoy the some sparkling drinks (and baked goods from sarah!) while you check out their work. click here for more information. [thanks, llubav!] that’s it for me- i’m off to amtrak! i hope you all have a fantastic weekend and i’ll see you on monday. [all photos of llubav's work courtesy of 3photographers]

it’s a little low-brow compared to hanging out with some lovely artists, but might i recommend a night filled with funny, horrible movies? check out “schlock around the clock” at the brattle theatre in harvard square – i really wish i was in town this weekend to go! http://www.brattlefilm.org/brattlefilm/movie_detail/090404.html

Oh I thought I posted but it didn’t turn up. I love the wedding cake, it’s absolutely gorgeous!

Irrelevant to this post (sorry), I was inspired by your DIY chalkboard and made my own! Thank you Design sponge!

it’s a long story, but it just worked out best to go where the largest number of my friends were. we had a delicious dinner at Toro in the south end and then went to Jacques- it was such a blast. it was also fun just to get to spend time with some of my favorite girls :)

we also got to do brunch at the south end buttery which was delicious, then window shop in the area.

hello jennifer,

all ring pillows are custom made…so, there’s really no pattern available. martha stewart weddings has some patterns online you can download and then all you have to do is create the flowers and attach. hope this helps!
