Etsy Store is Now Open!

Very excited to announce that my Etsy store is now open. What I love about Etsy is the community it creates among people who love and appreciate the creativity of artists, whether it be invitations, a chunky crocheted scarf or a beautiful piece of handmade jewelry.

Etsy also has a cool little plug in for your Facebook page, so you can find my Etsy offerings there as well. And if you aren't a fan of Something Detailed yet, head on over and check it out. 

I'll continue to add new items over the coming months, and I am thrilled to put my creative, obsessed over paper and wedding details out there for everyone to enjoy and purchase without the need for a custom order. Cheers
 to that!

Nashville Cake Pops: My New Obsession

If given a choice, would you eat the cake or the icing? People fall into 2 categories: a cake person or an icing person. I...am a cake person. And a chocolate person. So, I have the best of both worlds in cake pops. Don't worry, you icing fans will still get your icing. It's inside. Making for a moist, delicious little piece of cake on a stick.

Nashville Cake Pops is located right here in Nashville. I first tried these yummy little things at a Tennessee Titans tailgate party. They were red velvet (um...yes, please) with cream cheese icing inside and light blue white chocolate on the outside. Nicole, owner of Nashville Cake Pops, is the creator of these little bits of heaven. Trust me, you will crave them once you've had just one.

Nicole and I started collaborating about her new business, and she asked me to create some cake pop tags (above) to match the bunny shower invitations we did for a shower she hosted. That lead to more and more cake pop tags, and eventually we designed her company logo. Nicole wanted something retro and fun - like a retro sign from a vintage soda shop. I love the colors and the vibe this fun logo implies.

Other flavors include Chocolate, Devils Food, Vanilla, Coconut, Oreo, Lemon and Carrot Cake. Is your mouth watering yet?

Nashville Cake Pops is offering Valentine's Day & Easter specials, shipping nationwide. Order some for your sweety...or for yourself (guilty!).


...how cute would these be for wedding favors?!?

An Affair to Care: Southeastern Young Alumni

Southeastern Young Alumni is a Nashville organization, founded by several alumni of the Southeastern Conference to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Each year, they host Affair to Care, a top-notch, black tie event to help support their cause and the Monroe Carell Jr.'s Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.

Live music, a silent auction and a myriad of food and beverage sponsors are the backdrop to a fun evening. For the past two years, aVenue on 3rd Avenue downtown (next to Past Perfect). aVenue, owned by Nashville Event Space, hosted the event. It is the perfect venue for a wedding or social event. I am a little partial to Nashville Event Space because they planned my wedding reception. We held our reception at previously known as Global Cafe, which is now the new Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. I haven't eaten there yet, but it might be weird to eat fried pickles where we cut the cake. Laurie and her team did a fabulous job on my wedding reception as well as the 2 friends I referred to her. Highly recommended. Plus you can bring in your own alcohol, saving for you to splurge on other fun things. But, I digress...


Some of my favorite restaurants were sponsors of the event.

Sambuca: my favorite place for toffee bread pudding and port wine

Buffalo Trace: what can I say, I love good whiskey. Like any southern girl who loves football would

Yolos: I have not eaten here yet, but it is now on my list. If they can do buffet shrimp and grits this good, then you know it is delicious at the restaurant.


Local Taco: I seriously ate here every Saturday for lunch for months when they opened their first location in Sylvan Park.


Nashville Cake Pops: my favorite way to eat cake...mostly cake dipped in chocolate instead of icing. And it's on a stick. Yum.


This year, SEYA really rolled out the red carpet - literally. A very special event for a very special cause.


p.s. from one foodie to the next...go try Past Perfect for Sunday morning brunch. Three words: Bloody Mary Bar.

Pocket Baby Shower Invitation: Nautical Theme

This might be the cutest shower theme ever. How cute is a sailing theme for a little boys room? These baby shower invitations sit in a paisley pocket wrapped in grosgrain ribbon and secured with a 1" circle tag. The invitation is 3 layers of red, metallic baby blue and a custom designed invitation. 

Birth Announcement: Shabby Chic

How beautiful is this child? A dear friend had baby Annabelle last September and we got these announcements ready for a Thanksgiving announcement. It reads, "with joy and thanksgiving, we welcome our new arrival." Congratulations to the happy parents!
