Recently I was reminiscing with a few girlfriends about the days without cell phones and computers. We shared stories about bag phones our parents gave us and how they then threatened us within an inch of our life if we ever used them. We assumed they must have cost $1,000 a minute. I remember dial up internet, phones that didn't text, and being assigned an email address my first day of college and being annoyed that I would have to track down a computer lab to check it. It was also in college when I saw the first ad in INSTYLE for a leopard Nokia
phone, and longed for the day when I would be rich enough to buy one. Needless to say, times have changed.<br />
<br />
I realize the above paragraph is the equivalent of our grandparents "walking barefoot in the snow" stories, but I kind of love knowing life in both worlds. I think it's because I knew a day without all of this technology, that I long for it from time to time. If you are anything like me, you don't even realize how much you look at it. My phone has become this thing that compels me to "check it", and it's embarrassing how second nature it has become.<br />
<br />
Mr. Matty and I decided we needed a "no screen night". NO cellphones, NO computers, NO television. Every Tuesday we turn it all off, cook dinner together, listen to vinyl, read books, and have long talks. It's been amazing, and sadly a little tough, which is why we are planning to keep it up. Do you find yourself needing a technology detox? What are some ways you are screen free?pink cupcake vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15362501975555454350noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987741983341050686.post-86990588651585817412013-02-14T09:36:00.000-06:002013-02-14T09:36:22.116-06:00DIY: valentine's day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year for Valentine's day, I decided I wanted to do something a little different for Mr. Matty. I knew I wanted to make something, but also wanted it to be simple and easy. I got to wondering if I could make my own pinata without the papier mache', and after a quick google search found <a href="http://bklynbrideonline.com/23674/diy-projects/how-to-make-a-post-it-heart-pinata/" target="_blank">this </a>great tutorial. The only thing I did differently was cut squares of tissue paper instead of using post it notes. Mr. Matty loved it and can't wait to beat the crap out of it to find out what's inside!<br />
<br />
I'll be capturing that video and posting it on <a href="http://vine.co/" target="_blank">Vine</a>. Do you vine? Come follow me at iheartmatty!<br />

I am so happy to see my friend <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mitch-McGee/389101245738" target="_blank">Mitch McGee</a> in this month's <a href="http://www.dwell.com/" target="_blank">DWELL</a> magazine. More importantly, I'm thrilled to have a piece of his art hanging prominently in <a href="http://pinkcupcakevintage.blogspot.com/2011/10/kitchen-completion.html" target="_blank">our home</a>. I met Mitch while we were in school at Baylor, and then he married one of my best friends! He recently showed his work at the popular <a href="http://www.elisacontemporaryart.com/" target="_blank">Elisa Contemporary Art </a>gallery in New York City and sold every piece!

It was kind of perfect. Just a short drive from Nashville, we found plenty of things to do besides visit the Arch. Here is a list of our favorites while we were there.<br />

This boutique hotel is located right in the heart of the trendy Delmar Loop. With all of it's space themed goodies, it's a fun place to lay your head. Be sure and check out the rooftop bar!<br />

This gem was also located within walking distance of our hotel! Boy did we do some damage. If you love vinyl, prepare to get lost in this treasure trove. With prices mostly around $4.99, you can purchase til your heart's content. </div>

This store was worth the trip. PERIOD. Thanks in part to a recommendation by a cool girl at another store, we were here for hours. As I walked through the doors, I think I actually heard a chorus of angels singing. Selling only Mid Century vintage, this was a vintage lovers heaven. I will definitely be making a return trip to TFA, but next time with a U-haul.</div>

Located in the heart of Antique Row on Cherokee Street, Retro 101 is the place to shop for vintage clothing! Here dresses are hung from the ceiling in place of chandeliers. I like my vintage a little less pricey, but loved combing the racks and seeing all of the beauty. <br />

If you have worked up an appetite with all of that vintage shopping, you are in luck because Whisk is just down on the corner. This bakery is the perfect place for coffee and a sweet bite. With it's sun drenched floors and smells of fresh baked goods, you will fall in love. They also serve vegan, gluten free, and dairy free goods that taste amazing. I'm still craving more of their GF banana chocolate chip bread. Yum. <br />

Made famous by Man v. Food on the Travel Channel, this place boasts the best BBQ in St. Louis. It did not disappoint! I should have taken a photo of the crazy line of people ready to put their hands around some ribs. What we found out the hard way, is that when Pappy runs out of meat, the place shuts down (insert Fritanga adventure). We came back the next day and finally got a chance to taste what all the buzz is about. </div>

I hope you had a great holiday! Ours was filled with family, a lot of sitting in front of our new working fireplace, and endless episodes of SUITS (thanks <a href="http://www.kaycehughes.blogspot.com/2012/12/suits.html" target="_blank">Kayce</a>). I could have probably eaten a few less Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered marshmallows, but now I am back on the wagon and have my eyes set on <a href="http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-1581-cabana.aspx" target="_blank">this adorable swimsuit</a> from Shabby Apple!<br />

As soon as Matty gifted me with Lucille (falcon wagon) this summer, I couldn't wait to tie a Christmas tree to the luggage rack! Here is a glimpse into our Christmas card photo shoot this year, as photographed by <a href="http://brookemorganphotography.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Brooke Morgan</a>. A big thank you to Boy Scout Troop 87 for the gorgeous tree and location!<br />

When I stumbled upon these creepy, but awesome pink carolers, I knew they had to be mine!

I decided to visit <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a> where everything is beautiful, tidy, and smells great. While I was browsing, an adorable <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/search/C25709163.jsp?cm_vc=SEARCH_RESULTS" target="_blank">mason jar snow globe</a> caught my eye. I picked it up, looked underneath, and rubbed my eyes when the pricetag read $40.00! I'm not rich, so I decided to try and make my own. I'm happy to say, it was quite easy, you can make about 10 in an hour, and each globe cost under $5.00!<br />

Step 1: Take trees and spread glue on them liberally. I ended up
liking the glittering glue better than the tacky spray because the glue
seemed to spread just the right amount.<br />
Step 2: Roll the tree in glitter. (I used the Martha Stewart glitter in white gold)<br />

This was my TWILIGHT. Getting to see and hear Grace talk about her life in person, made me an even bigger fan.

Don't get me wrong, I love <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, but sometimes Pins are just too good to be true. Have you ever tried something you Pinned only to have it turn out as a big mess? Well apparently we aren't the only ones. A friend sent me the blog <a href="http://pinstrosity.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pinstrosity</a>, and it has been entertaining me with Pinterest fails for hours.

Goodness, is it really 4th of July already? I can't believe how time is flying! It is ridiculously hot here in Nashville, and I realized the other day that I have worn a dress for the last 15 days straight in an effort to keep cool. Are you as obsessed with Pinterest as I am? I couldn't help but make these cuties when they popped in my feed this morning. Also, my affection for instagram continues to increase and I find myself posting like crazy! Come follow me! Hope you are well and enjoying a day off!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This past weekend I was overwhelmed by the company of friends I keep. I count it a blessing to be surrounded by such gobs of talent on a daily basis, in hopes a little rubs off on me. One of these friends is </span><a href="http://dearfriendrebekkaseale.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rebekka</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. You many remember me talking about her </span><a href="http://pinkcupcakevintage.blogspot.com/2011/05/guest-blogger-rebekka-of-dear-friend.html" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://pinkcupcakevintage.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-friend-is-talented-rebekka.html" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, or </span><a href="http://pinkcupcakevintage.blogspot.com/2010/04/aprons-for-adoption.html" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. You may have also read about her gorgeous custom house portraits on </span><a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2012/01/weekly-wrap-up-rebekka-seale-house-portraits.html" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Design Sponge</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. A few weeks ago, I mentioned wanting her to do a custom portrait of me and Matty that we could use as a thank you note. Because she is so ridiculously gracious, on top of all of her other work, she said yes! This little gem popped into my inbox over the weekend and once again I am in awe of my beautiful, gorgeously tall, and talented friend Rebekka. Isn't this the sweetest?</span>pink cupcake vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15362501975555454350noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987741983341050686.post-16620330941947896122012-04-06T10:52:00.000-05:002012-04-06T10:52:48.283-05:00pinteresting: new recipes<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After watching a LOT of March Madness, (go Baylor Bears), I was sick of bar food and ready to get back cooking in the kitchen! I decided to go to my Pinterest recipe board and see if this food was as good as the gorgeous photo I pinned. Well below are some of the ones I tried, and every one of them got 5 stars from Mr. Matty. I made them all gluten free, and my favorite has to be the "Quinoa Mac & Cheese". Let me know if you try them out, I would love to hear what you think! </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

So much has happened in the last few months that I've wanted to share with you, so I thought I would give you an update! Since my last blog (on January 20th...yikes!) I started working for an amazing branding & photography company <a href="http://www.anthonymatula.com/blog/">ANTHONYMATULA</a>. I came on initially to business consult, but my job has also evolved to include one of my favorite hobbies...hair and makeup! I thought I would show you two film portraits we recently did. You may recognize the model as <a href="http://brookemorganphotography.tumblr.com/">Brooke Morgan</a>, the photographer for my Closet Shop series! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For awhile now, I've been thinking about how much time and space social media takes up in my day and have been quite convicted about it. Of course I love blogging, facebooking, tweeting, and sharing my life with people, but I often think how much time I could be spending in museums, libraries, parks, and traveling instead. So this is the year. 2012. I am suspending my social media accounts and living life less behind my computer. Of course, I couldn't let go of everything, so I will still be blogging here from time to time and posting on <a href="http://followgram.me/iheartmatty">instagram</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So follow me <a href="http://followgram.me/iheartmatty">there</a>, and I hope you have a very Happy New Year! </span>pink cupcake vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15362501975555454350noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987741983341050686.post-11691641660331850872011-12-23T14:35:00.000-06:002011-12-23T14:35:32.917-06:00holy sale batman<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://riflepaperco.com/item_images/post_santa_m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://riflepaperco.com/item_images/post_santa_m.jpg" width="352" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://riflepaperco.com/item_images/tag_tree1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://riflepaperco.com/item_images/tag_tree1.jpg" width="352" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So much is on sale at <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp">Anthropologie</a> right now it's insane. And not only that, you get to take an additional 50% off the sale price. I could have done some major damage, but instead picked up a gift or two and then happened upon these adorable paper products by <a href="http://riflepaperco.com/category/Holiday/c5">Rifle Paper Co</a>. that were also half off! Major score! Here's wishing you all a wonderful holiday and a very Merry Christmas! For the next few days I can't wait for home-made roast chicken and lots of movie watching! </span>pink cupcake vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15362501975555454350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987741983341050686.post-54694492159317639402011-12-21T16:18:00.000-06:002011-12-21T16:18:31.700-06:00in need of holiday cheer?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ROWoiYyW0Sk?rel=0" width="640"></iframe><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mr. Matty decided to decorate the outside of the house while I was away working Nutcracker. We don't do a whole lot, but have the usual pre-lit garland and a vintage light up Santa. So, when he texted me telling me one of the garlands had gone out, I thought..."oh well that is that...we will just settle for a Santa this year". Well, I came home to this. Matty had "fixed" the lack of garland by wrapping some of our netted lights (usually thrown on the bushes) around the banister. At first I was horrified by the white trashery that had occurred on our front porch, but then I laughed.
