I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these Menu Wheels by Anna Bond since I spotted them on Design Sponge earlier this week. What a lovely and personal touch to add to a wedding dinner or special event. I’m all for the extra touches so these are right up my alley. To see the full post and to get complete how-to instructions check out Design Sponge here.

The menus coordinate perfectly with Anna’s other recent DIY project for Once Wed. Her Pom Pom Vines are equally as charming and lovely. Stop by Once Wed for all the how-to deets and of course check out Anna’s blog, Rifle, for updates on her incredible work. I can hardly wait to see her feature in the next Martha Stewart Weddings!

I have a HUGE design/blog crush on Amy of Eat Drink Chic and yesterday’s post was over the top. Amy is so completely talented, from design and styling, to photography and blogging, she’s quickly becoming a favorite.

Check out this ice cream bar that she so generously put together for her readers, complete with templates for each little detail! At final tally I counted 7 of them! Having designed and offered a few myself I know how much time and work this can be and they are all so perfectly adorable.

Be sure to check out her site and if anyone happens to know Amy, give her a great big ol’ bear hug for me! Great work and thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!

Fill them with sweet treats and they make the perfect favor! Be sure to visit Style Me Pretty for the full post and to download the templates!

For some other exciting news, Abby is featured in this months edition of Bride & Bloom. The article is a behinds the scenes look at Abby’s life as a professional blogger. Being the huge fan that I am, I just had to have a copy of my own. I picked it up over the weekend and to my surprise I discovered that Twig & Thistle received a little shout-out as well!!!! At the end of the article is a section of Abby’s top 5 favorite things for weddings right now and she lists the DIY projects and favor boxes that I’m creating for her!

I’m completly honored to be included in her favorites list. A BIG thank you to Abby for the mention and congrats on her continued success! Be sure to pick up a copy of Bride & Bloom for yourself, it’s a stunning magazine and the article is fantastic.

It’s a day full of excitement; not only did I announce my new Target adventure but Abby has launched a new site design for Style Me Pretty! I’ve had a chance to browse around a bit and as usual it’s perfectly stunning! Love the new logo and format and the navigation bar at the top has some pretty sweet little details. Be sure to check out my all time favorite blog today and congratulate Abby on the new site!

To celebrate, Abby has posted the latest in the series of favor boxes that I created for Style Me Pretty. Measures 2.5″ x 2″ when folded and designed to fit a few truffles or a small favor. I’m really happy with how this one turned out and hope it can be put to good use.
