Reader Ellen, who shares my love of peonies, just sent me this photo of the centerpieces at her recent wedding.

Retro Brandy Snifters
LOVE the '50s feel of these cut crystal brandy snifters (about $130 for a pair).
Introducing: Project Jenny
You may recognize Jenn from seeing her around these parts from time to time, but I wanted to take a moment to officially introduce her.
Lena Chen / Sex and the Ivy
Yesterday I had lunch at Wasabi Lobby with blogger and recent Harvard grad Lena Chen, the often-controversial and always-fascinating girl behind Sex and the Ivy and The Chicktionary. If you've never heard of her, I encourage you to check out her sites; she's one of the smartest, most interesting people I've met in quite some time (Newsweek dubbed her the “poster girl for what could be called a group of brainy girls gone wild”). I'm not even going to talk about how much I love her dress.
Excellent Small-Business Business Practice
As I've mentioned before, I'm not a big coffee person - it makes me jittery-er than I already am - but this morning I've been getting a slow start, and when I took the dogs out for a walk...well, it just felt like an iced-coffee kinda day.
