Snail mail.
I took part in a little snail mail exchange project last month called Elevated Envelope. Here’s a little peak into what I sent out to my pen pals— watercolored papers, cut out shapes, and fun little quotes all wrapped up in a pretty watercolored envelope and washi tape.
Pallet Day Bed {DIY}
I’m constantly working on my backyard; new furniture, pillows, lighting, and flowers… and this past weekend I’ve finally added the last piece (at least for now!) I saw a version of this idea on Pinterest and since I’ve been scouring the internet and catalogs for loungers in my price range and coming up empty handed, [...]
You’ve got Mail…
Valentines Day, I hope, is a day for everyone to celebrate love. Not only for couples but for making friends, family, room mates, clients and other loved ones in your life feel special and loved. This year, instead of mailing out the normal Valentine’s card, I put together a little specialty Valentine’s Day kit filled [...]

I’ll post more photos soon of the paper goods I created for the shoot, but for now make [...]
A Spooktacular Dinner Party
As promised, here’s a few snapshots from our Orange and Black Dinner Party we hosted over the weekend. Everyone was really creative with their pitch-in dishes; bleeding heart brie, salad with plastic spiders, and a puking guacamole pumpkin. It was a fun night full of a little dress up, some creative dishes, and some spooky [...]
