We are so excited and grateful to Country Living Magazine for including us in their September issue! On newstands now! {page 16}

a little piece of bakery heaven

If you find yourself in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, on a Saturday stroll down Smith street, besides checking out all of the adorable shops & restaurants (more on those later!), you must take a detour onto Dean to treat yourself to one of these bad boys shown above...the infamous pumpkin whoopie pies from One Girl Cookie.


These delicious treats are their most popular, bringing back a bit of retro flair to the dessert world...but you will also absolutely love the look of their shop as well! For those of you not on the east coast or nyc area, have no fear, you can also order online. How perfect, with fall just around the corner!

laurel denise posters

my darling friend laurel, behind laurel denise jewelry design {if you don’t have one of her gorgeous necklaces you must purchase immediately!}...has wowed us again!

Laurel has recently launched a line of inspiring wall art with the same quotes she uses for her necklaces. How lovely! They are the perfect thing to brighten a room. Available on her etsy page here.

I recently attended a friend’s bridal shower where this was given as a gift and I just thought it was such a great idea and had to post about it!

Tastebook takes all of your uploaded photos & family recipes to create a specialized, professionally-printed cookbook, designed by you! Choose your own cover, layout, and messages or quotes to personalize your book. The best part...it has all of your favorite recipes in one place! What an ideal gift for newlyweds just starting out, or as special momento for an entire family to have all their traditional recipes live on to the next generation...

oh chronicle, how we adore you!

Who doesn’t love a beautiful coffee table book, a lovely set of stationery, or a funky set of postcards?! Based out of San Francisco, Chronicle Books offers the most unique books, stationery, and gift sets to boot. Everything they carry has so much charm and personality!

We carry many of their items already but see below to discover our newest additions:

red & aqua color combo

I have the smallest, tiniest crush, well okay, obsession with all things red & aqua. Perhaps you had noticed?? {see color scheme of madison belle: website color scheme, packaging, the list goes on and on!}

So what could be better than retro cupcake liners in my two favorite colors! Get yours now in our kitchen section here! We also carry yellow, purple, and blue plaid.
