A couple weeks ago not only was I spring cleaning, but I had to create a little centerpiece for the ’secret project’ I’m working on…which means I had a mini photo shoot! Two things were decided: I wanted to incorporate birch (because I’m just in love with it) and wanted to spruce up a simple vase. BAM! I came up with birch sleeved vases with diy brooches, fabric flowers and ribbon bouts aka the all-in-one ‘vase boutonniere’! (more…)

Wow, I hate to be lame, but I can’t say much about why I took these photos! Let’s just say there’s a ’secret project’ and a ‘pinky swear project’, both are different and oh-so fun! I guess I can say that I did a mini photo shoot yesterday of a spring-clean rustic on a budget theme centerpiece for your wedding table, but I can’t say what for :) (maybe I’ll be able to show the images for inspiration anyway, will keep you posted) Hopefully it will be good news later! What are you up to this weekend? We have family in town so I’m off to start my fun!

Well hello everyone!  The blog crickets are in full force, but that’s what happens when I travel!  I depart from Chicago today and fly on over to St. Louis for a fantastic wedding on Saturday…then it’s finally time to head back home to San Francisco.  But I just had to share the oh-so fabulous wedding of Lauren and Brandon!  If it’s not Lauren’s giddy smiles that win you over, it will for sure be the rainy romance that we experienced that day.  Fall was crisp in the air, and the history of their love kept all of us warm and fuzzy.   (more…)

This photo is so me!  Love the concept and the ideas that this article from ATSF has on sliced wood – you have to check out the rustic vase idea…it’s totally a wedding centerpiece.
