Zipper 8 Lighting

[zipper8lighting]

Anyone else participate in a Secret Santa swap this month? This just arrived in the mail from Leith in CA, whom I have never met but who sent me this awesome box of holiday cheer. My thanks to Leith for the treats, and to @food52holidayswap for organizing this international swap for cooking/baking enthusiasts, and for supporting #nokidhungry in doing so. When the world seems so vast and impersonal, connecting with someone through a shared passion (hello, chocolate and meyer lemons!) is especially fulfilling. Happy gifting, everyone! #f52holidayswap #secretsanta #cookieswap #giftexchange https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Qv1oyjjTO/?igshid=1iyda2r5m4odd

Be still my heart!! It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Peony Season #peonyseason #peonies #paperpeonies #designinspiration #favoriteflower https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu1Eg7DQFk/?igshid=1wday9i8qse2v

I've been observing these #peonies over the last few days that I cut last weekend. There is something sublime about the texture of these, like a cloud-flower-confectionery. I give up on perfecting my paper versions for the day. I think I'll just sit here and stare at the real deal instead.

In the studio today, wishing it was Saturday again so I could relive this gastronomic gem! Flourless chocolate cake with coffee, walnuts and rose water from "Sweet" by @ottolenghi #comfortfood #mondayblues #flourlesschocolatecake #weekendbaking #bestcakestand by @aheirloom

Happy Valentine's Day 💕💕This is a little valentine to Allison, the best half of Aster + Quail. She has been my friend since we were five, and I couldn't ask for a better one, nor a better human to work with every week. I am so grateful for and so proud of the work we do together. 💐💡❤️ #valentine #partnerincrime #magnoliacenterpiece #teaparty #teatime #girlbosses
