I bought Elle Decor yesterday simply because I love this photo.

risotto, my love

One of my favorite comfort foods is risotto.  On New Year's Eve, I went to Wildwood with some girlfriends and I ordered Risotto with mascarpone, grapefruit and crab. It was delish! I love it with mushrooms too. If you like to cook risotto, Sweet Paul has what looks like a yummy recipe here. What's your favorite comfort food this time of year?

Parrott Design Studio- Sarah is a lovely New England girl who is working with letterpress and gocco to create absolutely original invitations and stationery. I am sure you've seen her lovely flowery pieces featured around blog land, but she also works closely with her clients to create very personalized paper goods. I am having fun following  Sarah's wedding planning on her blog, Homegrown Wedding. For more inspiration from Sarah, check out her Flickr stream and her letterpress blog.

steven alan + liberty of london

Sorry if my Liberty obsession (posts here, here, here, and more!) is a wee bit annoying, but I am loving how Steven Alan is now using the fabric. You'll find several of their flowery designs in his new spring line.
