You may remember a while back when I mentioned how much I love Made by Girl... (pause for you to go back and look). WELL... she recently launched her art site Cocoa and Hearts, and it has certainly surpassed my expectations. She has a truly unique eye and point of view, and I have big dreams for having one of her pieces in the home office I plan to have one day. They're selling out at a staggering pace, so hopefully she will have more up soon.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
I hope that everyone has a great Easter and that you all have a wonderful time celebrating with your loved ones. I hope that you will also take the time today to remember what today means and the sweetest love we'll ever know. God bless you all!
Have any of you ever watched that show on the Food Network called "The Best Thing I Ever Ate"? It brings together famous chefs and Food Network TV personalities, and they recount all of the best dishes they've ever eaten at a restaurant. Well friends... I have found mine. For those of you who read my old blog, you might remember a post about a place called Fat Sully's Pizza. I stand firmly by my assertion that it is the best pizza I've ever had. But this post isn't called "The Best Pizza I Ever Ate"... no... it's the best thing I ever ate. What a lot of people don't realize about Fat Sully's is that it's 3 places in one. The bar is called the Atomic Cowboy, the pizza is Fat Sully's... and from 7 am to 2 pm, it is also the Denver Biscuit Company.
We had some lovely friends from San Antonio visit us this past weekend, and naturally we took them out for Fat Sully's, which naturally they loved. Our waiter made the recommendation that we come back the following day for biscuits. I believe his exact words were, "Our pizza is good, but our biscuits are (expletive) phenomenal". So Sunday morning, we went back... and the waiter was right.
Their menu has a unique variety of sandwiches and platters, but they all have one staple... the big, fat, fluffy, southern, buttery biscuits that they make fresh every morning. We ordered a table full of food and ate until we felt delightfully ill. I had the pulled pork biscuit, and I can say confidently and with no hesitation... that it was the best thing I ever ate.
They also have a "Biscuit Bus", and if I were to see it driving around town, I would run like a maniac to catch it. They're that good. If ever you find yourself in Denver, you are doing yourself a real disservice if you don't stop in there. Come for the biscuits, stay for the pizza.
I love this fresh and effortless spring look from Emerson Made... who by the way, I think is impossibly wonderful.
And outfits like this one are only made better with fun and carefree nail colors that you can only pull off in the spring...
I'm also loving...
:: The fresh smell that fills your house when you open a window in the spring time.
:: The recent news that Denver is opening an H&M. Be still my heart.
:: Mayan cocoa. We found a great little shop nearby that carries it, and it's the perfect blend of spicy and sweet.
:: That the hustle and bustle of the new year is slowing down at work, hopefully giving me time to be a better blogger and writer.
Cheers
As someone who so aspires to be a better blogger, naturally I admire people who are better bloggers than myself. My newest blog crush is Made By Girl.
She's fun, inventive, artistic, stylish and she's got the posts to prove it. Lately, she's been posting a series of home tours, which I'm finding really inspiring. When we buy a home of our own, I plan to shamelessly steal ideas from her. Check out the link to her shop too. She has a great collection of prints, art, cards, etc that I love, and soon she'll be launching a site with her newer artwork.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
