Candy! And who doesn't love doughnuts? Seriously.

Just a few candy inspiration pics! From The Knot and Martha Stewart, of course!


AND... DOUGHNUT CENTERPIECES!!!! {Love this idea.} One of my good friends had a doughnut "cake" at her wedding (10 years ago!) it was a smashing hit! The idea started as a joke with her and her friends, so she just went for it. She was shocked to see this pic. I really, reeeaaaaaallly hope this becomes a new trend for at least... every wedding in the whole world.

Inside Look: The insiration behind pattern designs.

I recently came across the Pattern People's work and was so inspired by their use of patterns. They are also kind enough to share their inspiration with us. See where they find inspiration!

Click here to check out their site and be sure to download some of their great patterns for use in your personal diy projects! You have the option to download as illustrator files too, so you can get in there and adjust to your liking! I am loving the camo kitty pattern.


About Pattern People: "Pattern People is a surface design studio founded by designers Claudia Brown and Jessie Whipple Vickery who came together with a mutual appreciation of pattern and a shared vision. Collectively they bring their illustrations to all types of surfaces from fashion to interiors."

They have studios in Portland and London. They have worked with Adidas, Godiva and Estée Lauder too! So jealous!

Get your tweet on with them, follow them on twitter!
