Second, Elsie and I are traveling to Phoenix to do a little work, meet up with an old friend, and make a connection with a new business partner. Yes, we’ve got a lot to pack into a short little trip, but I couldn’t be more excited because I didn’t get to see Elsie in person at all in March (boo!!!!). So it will be great to connect and work on this new project we’ve got brewing together. Don’t worry – we’ll share more soon, I promise!
And third, at the end of the month, we have a short trip in partnership with Canon to meet up with a giveaway winner and do some decorating. I think it’s gonna be an absolute blast! But again, I’m sort of also just happy to get to see my sister in person twice in one month!
What’s got you excited in April, Sister? Obviously seeing me. Ha! But what else?
Spring is always good, no matter what, but this spring is extra special because we have a LOT of fun projects in the works. As Em was saying, it’s a huge milestone that we just turned in our cookbook manuscript (YAY!!), and next we have two months of photoshoots to get all the food photos ready for the book. Working on this book has really changed the way I think about food (in a VERY good way!). So I am excited for you all to read it next year!
This book is brining us together for two FULL weeks of photos in May and June, so I am really looking forward to that as well. I have been collecting cute cloth napkins and rad serving pieces like a MAD WOMAN. It’s really fun.
Next weekend Jeremy and I are FINALLY going back to Missouri, and you better believe we’re going to Emma’s new bar EVERY night… OK, that’s a little excessive, but I am very excited to go see it in person and order a tiki drink!
This season is already off to a BEAUTIFUL start. (Wow! I use CAPS a LOT… Sorry for that.)
Love you guys! Emma + Elsie

Best of luck with the cookbook! What a cool opportunity. Elsie, I’m heading to Nashville for a quick trip at the end of the month. Any suggestions for a fab dinner there?
Where do you find all these fabulous walls?!!!!!!
Love these photos – and that your outfits + background pairings are almost a reverse match?
Excited to hear about all these springtime projects you’re diving into!
I love that chambray denim blazer. I got one similar to it in my StitchFix this month and I’m so unhappy that it was too snug. I need to get one of those.
I love Elsie’s sunnies!
Elsie’s dress is so cute! I love the graphic/doodle walls too. So pretty.

Hello Elsie and Emma,
Being your reader of SO many years… right when Elsie was still staying above her little studio/shop, before you had your vintage boutique…..
i really love reading such personal posts by both of you.
it just feels more close and warm, as compared to the posts on DIYs, recipes..etc.
Please please please do keep all these more personal posts coming in, because I LOVE reading your stories and feel equally excited for you and your new plans!
xoxo.

OMG I love BOTH of your dresses!! x
Lovely dress, Elsie! You guys look great!
I can’t believe you finished the first cookbook draft with everything that must have gone into opening the bar! So exciting, though. Congratulations. Can’t wait for all that’s coming in spring!
Oh I LOVE you dress Emma! Elsie’s is nice too, but not really my style. But that black and white one, I would wear that all the time lol and the texture on that fabric looks amazing! 🙂
Can’t wait to learn more. I love Emma’s outfit. http://www.hannamarielei.com
Love the bell sleeve dress so much. Digging the 60’s vibe 🙂
Your styles are so cute! I love the sunglasses and the patterns on the dress. My style is more hipster-minimal (not sure if that is a thing) but I really love the bright colors and patters you guys wear.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
