Hand Painted, Handmade Wedding Invitations – Really?
Say the phrase hand-painted wedding invitation and most do a double take…then ask “for small orders right?” or inquire “well you reproduce each one on the computer?”. All of these are valid responses I admit as the thought of individually hand-painting hundreds of pieces is initially mind boggling. Let me be the first to tell […]

It’s official – we found a venue for our renewal celebration – read more about the plans, the inspiration , more inspiration and the save the date. It was difficult to find a venue for our modest guest list of only 75 or so. We wanted rustic but not too casual, blank palette but not […]
Aruna Seth Shoes – Oh My!

A Peek into the Studio – Bamboo, Trees and Sails
Some of my favorites from earlier this week. From left to right: Meghan’s sophisticated color palette contrasted with the whimsical illustration of her pup, Natalie’s contrast painted white peonies and Tara’s Bamboo sketch save the dates. Jennifer and Tonya’s Sea Inspired Watercolor was such a favorite that it may be inspiring a new Momental Collection […]

Well Said – A Destination Save the Date

While perusing the Be Inspired blog earlier this week I stumbled upon Robyn Glaser’s website at the recommendation of Jen from Green Wedding Shoes.

Renewal Inspirations – Depression Glass and Vintage Linens
An inpromptu trip to a local Antique market last weekend was all I needed to get inspired. Last week I announced that The Hubby and I are planning a wedding vow renewal bash. I must admit settling on a color palette has been difficult for me. Wandering around the Antique Center I was repeatedly drawn […]
Engage 09: Something Blue, Something Amazing – Part III
So it has come to my third and final recap (See Part I and II) post of Engage 09! Sadly the event has passed but perhaps what I am left cherishing most are the connections made during the three days in Grand Cayman. Of course the stylish events and invigorating speakers were all priceless and […]
