Quick Palette: Mint Green and White

Happy Friday, friends! Why is it that four day work weeks always seem to wear me out? It seems like I worked two weeks in these four days and I am really happy to see the weekend. This palette seems soothing and relaxing - the perfect end to a long week. I hope you all have some time to relax this weekend as well! {Image from luvpublishing}

Unique Centerpieces

How amazing is this idea? Kelly of Yes, Please took ordinary cinder blocks and turned them into gorgeous planters (with a built in table number to boot). I am pretty sure an entire wedding could be designed around these images alone!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great week.

I thought I would share a few of my flea market finds with you.

I found this little cupboard at a flea market this weekend.

When I saw it I knew exactly what I was going to do with it.

I love bar soap and

I thought this rustic cabinet from France would be great for displaying my soaps in.

I am excited because I have found some wonderful handmade lavender bar soaps to carry in my shop as well.

I found this french cake stand at the flea market as well.
I love how the cake stand looks inside this rustic little cabinet.

On another note~
Do you like this zinc pitcher from France?

If you do you, then you should head over to my friend,
Tracey's blog, French Larkspur!
She is having a very generous giveaway over on her blog! She is celebrating a one year blog anniversary!
Congratulations Tracey!!
You will also be able to have a sneak peek of what I will be carrying in my shop!

Real Wedding: Seattle, Washington

There is a classical beauty to Annika and Phil's wedding, so much so that I feel like it took place in another era. Annika wore a custom made silk gown and a beautiful birdcage veil, and the couple celebrated their nuptials with a high tea reception downtown Seattle before embarking on an 11 week European honeymoon! I think the two images above are some of my new favorite wedding photos - definitely something to frame in remembrance of a lovely day.

Quick Palette: Patriotic Shades

I hope you all have a lovely holiday weekend! I am looking forward to spending some time with family, finishing a book I can't put down (and probably starting another) and hopefully being rewarded with a little bit of a tan because oh my, do I need a tan. What are you up to?
