As you all know I have a lovely collection of tea pots, cream & sugar sets, and tea cups. I've collected them throughout the years. Most of them come from Anthropologie, the rest are from antique shops, gifts, and disneyland (alice in wonderland). I've never really had a home for my collection, it would mostly be scattered in shelves, kitchen cabinets, and even in the living room. I didn't want to rush into getting a cabinet as I wanted to find the right one. I came across a post from @kattanita's instagram, which inspired me for the style of a tea cabinet for myself.


Kat's Cabinet is from ikea, she purchased the HEMNES glass door cabinet. It looks so amazing in her place! When I saw the price, I thought it was reasonable ($360.00), but knew I could get something similar at ikea for much cheaper. With some research I found the BORGSJO glass cabinet for over half the price ($135.00).  The dimensions are very similar, the only distinct features I see that are different are the separation of the Glass doors, and base. Other than that it looks completely similar!




I took some time from this weekend to organize my space and add my full collection to the piece. I even added a little flat weave rug from Ikea for under 4 dollars! After putting everything together, it made me want to throw parties at home so I can put all my collection to use! The next little project is finding the perfect tea cart, not bar cart, tea cart :). I have my eye on a wicker one, hopefully it'll be the winner! XO

Hi there!
Still playing catch up, but I'm trying my best to make an effort to post as much as I can!

I'm a god mother to three god daughters. I have a very special relationship to their mothers as they raised me since I was just 2 months old. Every time I get to spend time with my older cousins.. I always make sure to give little goodies to all 3 of my god daughters!


The oldest god daughter, I have a tradition with her with Pop Rocks, ever since she was in kindergarden I promised her on holidays, and special occasions I would gift her this treat. this was no special occasion, it was just because!

My Twin god daughters, I both got girly headbands and little play jewelry. I had all the materials on hand. The goodie bags may look familiar as it was left over from L. Belle's birthday party. They loved all their goodies. They sent me a photo with big smiles and posing with their brand new gifts!

It's always the little things that can brighten up anyone's day. XO

I spent the last few weeks of May and first week of June in Paris, France, and San Francisco (before heading back to LA). My initial plan was to go to Paris during my birthday, but we couldn't pass up a deal to go a month later. I have so much to share from my trip, I will be posting weekly and will be breaking it up into neighborhoods.

In the meantime, I'm playing catch up at home, and trying to settle back into the routine. Settling is quite difficult as major changes are happening at home, and in my career. All good news, so not to worry. As overwhelming it is, It's nice to just relax and enjoy this perfectly warm weather here in Southern California. Not to mention the little Welcome Home gift I got from my little sister.



I've been spending all day today outside on the patio. Drinking tea, working, reading, and just sunbathing! It makes me crave a trip to Palm Springs. I'm trying my best to be patient as I will be going soon. Traveling definitely keeps the momentum in wanting to travel even more! I had the best time and will be sharing soon! XO
