Easter 2018
The Easter bunny hops into town in a week! Do you have your
basket supplies ready? I couldn't think of a more festive way to
get ready for the sweetest holiday than to personalize a basket the
BFP way. I stumbled upon a perfectly miniature basket at Publix
while grocery shopping, then ran to Target to get fillers and the rest
fell into place. Whether you stuff baskets with candy or festive goods,
throw in some BFP products to make it even more special!

Play your Ace
It's time to play your Ace! I've been waiting for this day for months and am trilled
to finally release the latest product: PLAYING CARDS! This set includes two decks
of casino-grade cards with my signature ladies as the Kings & Queens and illustrated
icons for the suits. Every detail was carefully thought out, every outfit perfectly
planned. The end result is the perfect answer for your next game night!

Molly
The Christmas parties are in full swing. You're running around picking
up those final few gifts. You still have to wrap everything. Your pants
already feel tight from all the holiday goodies. AND, you don't know
what to wear to the next gathering. No? All of the above is just
happening to me? Ok, well, here's what I suggest for that casual
friendly get together that's probably taking place on a weeknight.
Throw on your favorite jeans and a cozy sweater. Make it more festive
with a pop of red or green (or both).

What to Wear... to chill
I'm not sure if it's because I'm officially "in my 30s" or if it's
because loungewear has become it's own category on most retailer's
websites, but it's time to step up my lounge game. There are too many
good options to say no. Even places like Target have increased the size
of the pajama/loungewear department. It's time, y'all... it's time.
Whether you're hanging out at home alone, inviting your best girlfriends
over for the Bachelorette finale, or having a Netflix and chill night with a
significant other, throw on something comfy but cute. It's as simple as a
I plan on living in this fall). Start with that combination and add your own
spin to make yourself more comfortable (I see changing out the shorts for
my old faithful high-waisted leggings when the temps drop).
The long cardigan is something that can almost double as a robe around
the house (especially early in the morning when it's always 10 degrees
colder inside, someone explain that one to me). Here are some of my
curent favorites that are light enough to wear around the house and will
be the perfect choice when fall arrives:
I'm also positively obsessed with anything from Barefoot Dreams
including this sweatshirt. I would live in this. I also cannot curl up
on the couch without my favorite BD blanket. It's the softest thing in
the world as most of their products are, AND it's included in the
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It's the perfect time to pick up a few
early Christmas presents if you ask me (it's available in multiple colors
here)!

Cherry Pie
Time to gear up for a fun-filled holiday weekend!
With Independence Day falling on a Tuesday this year,
I assume the celebrations will start Friday and carry through
the actual holiday. I've never been opposed to an extended holiday
weekend. Who's with me?

Peppermint Hot Chocolate
You absolutely cannot beat a cup of peppermint hot chocolate at Christmas time. It's so seasonal, it keeps you warm on those chilly nights, and is even better when sipped by the fireside (and Christmas tree). Williams Sonoma has the best. Bonus points if you sip it out of a brand new BFP cup (get one here before they sell out)!
Consider this my auto-reply... social media might make it appear like I'm working around the clock, but today marks my last day in the office until 2017! I'm stepping away to spend time with family doing Christmas things. I hope you do the same!

Introducing Coffee Cups
We are offering three different designs. The two lovely ladies above feature a
design on the front with "but first, coffee..." in the signature BFP font on the back.
The other design has java-loving girls wrapped around the cup. They are perfect for
the coffee, tea or hot cocoa lover!

Pipcorn
Pip, pop, pipcorn!
Y'all, have you heard of / are you obsessed with Pipcorn?? It's the cutest mini
popcorn with cute packaging and a handful of delicious flavors to choose from.
I'm not going to lie, I tried them all. I'm a huge fan of a sweet and salty combo,
bold and unique flavor. Try all four with the 4 pack or load up on smaller 100
tray: West Elm | "Parka" notecards | Pipcorn | popcorn containers: Target
(exclusively in stores - other cute bowls here)
Fill a stocking full, tie a small bag on the outside of a gift, host a movies &
popcorn night with your holiday favorites... what you do, try it! Or better yet,
spread some holiday cheer by sending a mini bag to a friend, neighbor, or
colleague.

2 Easy Holiday Cocktails
'Tis the season for eating, drinking and being merry!
Today we're bringing you two of the easiest cocktails that will surely make a splash
with your guests. Whether you're the host or simply being a gracious guest by not showing
up empty handed, these are two cocktails you'll want to have in your arsenal. Seriously,
they're are so easy (translation: they take about 5 minutes to throw together and have about
4 ingredients total).
They pass the taste test, the time test, and most importantly, the short list of ingredients
test. I have been wanting an excuse to use my fresh rosemary plant, and both of these
cocktails called for a garnish of rosemary!
I came across the first one while flipping through the Favorite Things issue of the O Mag.
Oprah always seems to kill it at all things Christmas, let's be serious. The only thing that
takes a little planning is freezing ice cubes in advance. They are what takes this one to the
ultra fancy (looking) Christmas punch level. I halfed the recipe below to simply make one
pitcher full.
pitcher: World Market | champagne flutes: World Market | tray: West Elm | "Eloise" notecards
2 bottles Prosecco (chilled)
3 C white cranberry juice (or white grape juice)
20 drops Angostura bitters
1 C fresh cranberries
Rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
In each section of a large ice cube tray, place a few cranberries and a cluster of rosemary leaves.
Fill with water and freeze about 6 hours or overnight. In a punch bowl, combine Prosecco, juice,
and bitters. Add prepared ice cubes and additional fresh cranberries to bowl just before guests arrive, and serve.

The next one popped up on my instagram feed as a sponsored ad and instantly grabbed
my attention. It screams cold weather with hints of maple syrup, a splash of something
sweet in the grapefruit juice and a Christmasy touch of rosemary as a finishing touch.
wine glasses: Pier 1 | "Mays" notecards | all photos: Catherine Truman Photography
4 parts Vodka (Grey Goose)
1 part organic maple syrup
5 parts freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
1 pinch of sale
1 sprig of rosemary
Add the maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and a sprig of rosemary to a glass. Mash
the rosemary to combine the flavors. Top with the vodka and fresh grapefruit juice.
Serve over ice.
Cheers to the holiday season!

Red Balloon 2
Not all new designs make the cut and this is one of those. She's too cute to be a called a reject, but she simply didn't fill the need in the collection. I was aiming for a chic lady that would meet the needs of birthdays and other general celebrations with a darker skin tone. I opted to include "Olivia" as both a notecard and greeting card instead! She's also available as a luggage tag.
For now, this one will sit in the archives.
Also, I just added new PRINTS, so check them out!

Happy Easter
I got a little carried away with Easter eggs earlier this week. While I started by dying a handful, I eventually gave up and switched to the old faithful Sharpie method.
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!
Be sure to tune in Monday for a special announcement!
