If you want to witness the most wonderful smile, give a baby a big balloon! No, Liv did not magically jump from 10 months to her first birthday, but it is Pepper Design Blog’s 2nd birthday! And we’re celebrating all week long.
I have such a fantastic line-up for you this week! I’m hosting a meet & greet (complete with bite-sized Sprinkles cupcakes and cappuccinos for everyone) tomorrow, announcing an AWESOME addition to the blog on Wednesday and giving a quick look behind-the-scenes to the happenings of everyday life over here later in the week.
Pair that with several fantastic giveaways from companies that I personally reached out to (so I that I can fully recommend their products) and that’s my celebration week in a nutshell.
There are just a few changes to announce today as well. You might notice my new little bio pic with Liv over there in the right sidebar, and if you click that new pic a brand new ‘About PDB’ page will pop up. Something to do if you have a bit of down time at the office.
If you read all the way through the About PDB page you’ll quickly notice that Pepper actually celebrated its birthday back in September. But there was so much going on that it flew right by without a second thought! So November is the blog’s honorary blogiversary this year ;).

EmersonMade Giveaway!
a
Let’s start off the week of celebration with a giveaway from one of my favorite companies! I fell in love with EmersonMade back when they specialized in the most beautiful fabric flowers – and now this hubby + wife team has jumped to a full line-up of chic clothing and jewelry that I adore.
Emerson designs all of the clothing and is the model for each photo that her husband Ryan shoots. Their clothing is sophisticated, sexy, well-made and timeless. You will definitely love their little brown tweed blazer in ten years as much as you will today. Other awesome items include their line of blouses (love these), denim, necklaces and even linens (see shot below with the flowers that used to be their trademark). Man, right about now I really wish I could enter this giveaway.

Became a fb fan of EmersonMade today!
Already a PDB fan on fb!
My memory is a little foggy but I think I found you through a link with Kim of the Tomkat Studio, or it may have been Jenn at HWTM…. At any rate, I believe I found you early in the game, and I’ve loved your blog ever since!! Your tutorials are so thorough & easy-to-follow, your home reno/decor ideas are absolutely fabulous, parties are gorgeous, etc, etc, etc. Don’t even get me started on how cool it was to follow your pregnancy with Baby Liv.
Thanks for sharing all of your awesomeness, Morgan! ;)
After moving into our new house, I went on a hunt for new design blogs by running through blog rolls of the few I already read. Glad I found you!
Google search for DIY design

I don’t remember how I found you… It may have been someone linking to your interviews. Either way — I’m hooked! Congrats on your milestone!
I don’t remember anymore. I think I followed a link from another blog a year or two back. I loved that you were renovating your home as well.
I don’t remember exactly how I found you, but I’m pretty sure it was through another blog. They either featured you or linked back to something you posted about before. Wish I could be more specific, but that’s all I’ve got!
How I found you: I have this amazing app on my Iphone called “The Feather Report”. About 3 months after I discovered it, they decided to close shop!PDB was a recommended blog for those of us who missed out on the daily fashion/weather reports. I’ve been a fan ever since.
