I used to travel to Philly occasionally to watch Kendrick's band perform, and I always thought it was a really underrated day-trip-from-NYC spot. Thanks so much to Philly native (and new blogger) Lauren for offering to show us around!

I am so honored to be guest blogging for Jordan! I adore her blog and it’s part of the inspiration behind mine. I am a native Philadelphian turned New Yorker, so there is nothing I love more than going back to my second home in Philly.
Dad and I came across Cupcake Vineyards wine at the wine store a couple of weeks ago, while shopping for Mom's birthday dinner (click here to check out the Lemon-Chocolate Birthday Cake we made). We didn't buy it, because we were on the hunt for a white...but I think it just sounds spectacular.
Listen to the description of the 2009 Red Velvet (about $12/bottle): "It's reminiscent of a blackberry chocolate cupcake with a mocha coulis. Shows an incredible nose of chocolate, deep rich blackberries, red fruits and a creamy mocha finish that is unmistakable in its intensity and length."
In other words, I would like to fill a bathtub with the stuff and roll about in it for hours, please.
Has anyone tried Cupcake Vineyards? Is it as wonderful as it looks?
Tastes like sausage.
Please give a warm welcome to the lovely Erin & Lia from YAY! DIY - check out their site for everything from lamp refurbishes (you know I love those) to Grown-Up Arts & Crafts and interviews with yours truly.

First of all, hello everyone! We're so excited to be guest posting for Jordan while she soaks up the sun this week!
Like Jordan, my co-blogger Erin and I are big fans of dragging in furniture off the street to fix up and make our own. This little end table was no exception. Walking one night in my old neighborhood, I spied it next to pile of trash destined for the landfill and immediately knew I had to rescue it. (There were actually two, but I could only carry one at a time in the cold all the way home. Not going back for the second one is a decision I still regret!)
We're leaving today to spend a week hanging out with those guys up there.
!!!!!!!
I'm a little unsure what the Internet situation is at our hotel - the fact that I haven't been able to get a response to my email queries re: wireless connections doesn't exactly instill a great deal of confidence - but I'm sure I'll manage to do some posting from down south. In the meantime, though, I have some fun stuff queued up for you in the coming week, including some fantastic guest posters.
