Hi! Please tell us a little about yourself! I'm Alli Michelle, and I live with my husband just outside of Ann Arbor in a little village. No kids yet, just us and our two cats, living in our first house and starting our careers (I'm an event planner, my husband an engineer).

How did you get started with your blog + shop? I was introduced to blogging through a friend who does graphic design, and I've since become hooked. Blogging/reading blogs is one of my favorite parts of the day, and starting a shop has been just as fun. I wanted to put things in my shop that I myself would use for parties or everyday occasions, just little things that are hand packaged and fun to use or to gift.

What inspires you? A narrowed list would include blogs, magazines (all my Domino's are neatly saved), clothing (I get happy whenever a new J.Crew catalog arrives), and movie settings (countryside in Pride & Prejudice, London book shop in Notting Hill, just about anything set in New York, etc.).

Favorite place to travel: I'm convinced it's Europe. Not that I've ever actually gone, but I've always dreamed of traveling there, so I just know it will be amazing when I finally do.

Favorite links/shops/blogs: Sunday Suppers, design is mine, French Women, MS Weddings.
