Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Fall is definitely in the air here in DC and I’m kind of loving it! I’m so excited to wear my sweaters and boots again! DC summers are usually too hot to spend much time out in the garden, so I’m also looking forward to getting my hands back into the dirt this weekend. I’m planning to move my backyard roses to my front foundation garden (where they’ll get more sun), and move the hellebores and peonies currently in the front yard out to the backyard garden. But in the meantime…

Let’s milk every last drop of summer, shall we?!
Hello friends! It’s been a while since I posted on Nole’s blog and it’s great to be back. I’m bringing you some inspiration from one of my favorite recreational and nostalgic summer activities …. boardwalk bike rides!  Growing up on the East Coast I took many a’ rides down the Ocean City New Jersey Boardwalk.  Now, years later I somehow ended up in Venice, CA where the boardwalk is quite different but the thrill of the ride remains the same.  Today I rounded up some favorite things from around Urbanic that capture the essence of that boardwalk bike ride feeling.  (insert a teensy bit of ocean wind)

Hello Hello!  Delighted to be back here once again and sharing yet another one of our latest obsessions with you from around here at Urbanic.  Today’s topic is this darling little equation:

>>  Pink  +  Gold  =  Rose Gold!  <<

It’s pretty. It’s timeless. It’s now! We’ve hand-picked some of our favorite things from around the shop and beyond for your viewing pleasure. We’re talking about decorative arrows, bottle openers, desk lamps, candles, sticky notes, telegram pads … and even tape!  So basically, rose gold everything. âœ§

Urbanic Faves | California Dreaming

Good day sunshines!  When I was debating what to put up for my monthly guest post here on Oh So Beautiful Paper, I decided to pick something very close to home (okay well technically my present home) – Los Angeles!  As some of you might already know, I’m originally from the East Coast.  Believe me when I tell you that it definitely took a while to adapt to the lifestyle here on the West.  I’m proud to say that these days my affection for both sides of the country is equal and my heart has become bi-coastal. There really is so much to love here in L.A.  The colors, the optimism, the sunsets, and we cannot forget about the tacos!

Here’s a little collection of some things from around Urbanic and beyond that celebrate this golden city.

Gather the gals for a Valentine’s Day baking party! Whip up some treats (Cookies? Donuts? Macarons?) and then package them up to send home with guests or to hand out to family, friends or co-workers. Nothing like a party with something extra sweet to take home, eh!? —Kelly
