Between the two of us, Stephanie and I own at least a dozen vases in the shapes of heads. We can't stop! Here are some favorites: Adorable Plum and Punch Bright Eyed Yellow Pencil Holder, which now holds a zipper cactus. Its Green Companion is still waiting to be filled. *** These sleepy ladies come … Continue reading Head Vase Case
Has anyone else been enjoying the nostalgia lately of all things 80's and 90's? From TV shows such as Stranger Things to fashion of vintage rock tees at boutiques, the highlighter colors and scrunchies of the past are making childhood seem so much cooler as an adult. The bonus is that it gives a conversation … Continue reading Chrissy, This One’s For You!
Stephanie wearing a shimmery holographic mask. Hello strangers! It's us, the Bubbly in a Teacup twins, Stephanie and Nicole. We took a hiatus from blogging about life's little luxuries because during a global pandemic, sometimes your priorities shift. But after a while, it's also obvious how important those little luxuries are to stay healthy, sane, … Continue reading Since you mAsked…
Maybe it's because our high school senior photos were less than stellar (hint: don't choose a photographer just because they offer a twin discount), or maybe it's because we wanted to have an excuse to get dressed up and have a fancy tea party. Whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter. We do recommend, … Continue reading A very merry unbirthday!

But books, movies, food, drinks...things like that, yeah. We're no Obama, but here's the list … Continue reading End of Year Lists: Books Read

I had A LOT of books in those backpacks, because...well, I was a classic nerd. … Continue reading Backpack, Backpack
Living in the midwest affords us plenty of farm-fresh fare. This year, my family re-joined a CSA (community-supported agriculture) at Millsap Farms. We belonged a few years ago, and it was such an amazing experience. Each week we'd receive a box of fruits & vegetables. To offset the cost, we'd work the farm a few … Continue reading Easy Bruschetta
If you've been following along, you know we love to entertain. Part of the fun is menu crafting, deciding what to make from scratch, what to collaborate on with the grocery store, and what to just unpackage and put on a pretty plate. Last week Stephanie hosted a Bunco party for some friends, and because … Continue reading Not even Semi-Homemade
