ME ME ME MElinda.

Good day friends! I’m Malinda Kay Nichols, and I live and love in Birmingham, AL with my husband Zack and hopelessly neurotic dog Tallula Jane. I just snagged the job of my dreams as a photo stylist for a charming little food magazine called Taste of the South. I love to bake, sew, decorate cakes and my house, read Harry Potter, ride my Vespa, and set my table with pretty things. I love rock and roll, paper/stationery, typography, textiles, the color blue (robin’s egg, even before it was cool), traveling anywhere, mid-century Americana, Jim Halpert, and New Kids on the Block. I don’t love seafood or passive aggression. If you come to my house I will bake cupcakes for you. I think it’s really swell that you took a few minutes out of your day to read my little blog; thank you sincerely, and please enjoy!

Hey Melinda,

I came across a post about you on the Simply Seleta blog and I looked at the pic and was like, “She looks so familiar!” I think we worked together at Southern Progress back in Jan-June of 07…or am I completely wrong? Haha! If I am, my face is currently blushing!

Regardless, your blog is great and I’m totally adding it to my blogroll over at designchampagne.wordpress.com.

Take care!

I wanted to let you know that I had one of your cupcakes…Pumpkin one to be exact! That was incredible! I was expecting good, but just not heaven, so I was so pleased. Thanks for such an awesome and very delicious cupcake!

You probably don’t remember me, but I had a few classes with you in CTD a few years ago (History of Costume design and Apparel Construction with Mrs. Robinson). I stumbled upon your blog via facebook one day, and I love it! It’s one of my most visited bookmarks…just thought I’d let you know! Keep up the inspiring work!
