Branding: Love & Kismet

I had the extreme pleasure of working with Corinne on her exciting new business venture! While this lovely lady was planning her wedding she discovered a beautiful way of creating a bouquet that will not only look gorgeous in pictures but be a lasting keepsake for the years to come. When Corinne first told me about her plans to start selling her silk taffeta bouquets and boutineers my first thoughts were of what a great "something old" they could some day be. Could you imagine using the same bouquet your mom or grandmother used? Or pinning the same boutineer your husband wore on to your son's tuxedo for his wedding or prom some day? It's a really cool idea and I hope you all check out her shop!

Color Palette: Sunset

Some nights, this is the view from our apartment. I like those kinds of nights.

Custom Design: Save the Date

I don't think there is a more fun couple than Chelsey and Scott. I mean, look at these pictures! I've been good friends with these fools for 5 years now and I am SO excited for their upcoming wedding.

Office/Playroom Plans

I am so very excited to finally have my own designated office space! Up until this point my office has been both a small corner of the living room and (after Harrison figured out how to open drawers) a small corner of the bedroom. It's worked fine but I have officially outgrown it. I need more space to package orders, organize files and space to just spread out. Because sometimes I just have to lay on the floor for a few minutes in between projects. :)

We move on June 1st and the plan is to go room by room and actually make our little apartment feel like a home. We always have great big plans and then end up with nothing on the walls and projects are always saved for "another time."

Starting with the combo office/playroom.

In case you were wondering, yes, Ikea is going to be getting a lot of business from us in the near future.

Current To Do List:
+ MOVE!

Stay tuned! :)

5 Things

+ There were too many hoodlums (read: teenagers. I'm 80 years old.) at the pool the other day so we decided to make our own pool. On our second floor apartment patio. I thought H was going to explode, he was so excited. Screaming. Squealing. Our neighbors love us.

+ I survived bachelorette weekend! In both a mom-way and drink-too-much-booze way. It was good all around. So, so good. I love my friends.

+ Harrison had a grand ol' time at grandma and grandpa's. So much in fact that he SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. Yes, people, you read that right. My 15 month old newborn slept through the night for the first time ever at my parent's house and I wasn't there to reap the benefits. And in case you're wondering, no, he hasn't done it since.

+ Tyler did good. I didn't get home until 4 p.m. on Mother's Day but he had flowers, chocolate, and gifts on the table waiting. The entire place was clean and perfect. We got takeout sushi and he listened patiently as I told him 98345739487 stories about my weekend and asked him exactly 0 things about his (best wife ever).

+ I have the month of June off from the day job. It's so close I can taste it.
