In just 9 short hours, we will be at it again bringing all the last minute details together, so I’ll keep […]
Behind the Scenes – Lush Art Inspired Shoot on Junebug Weddings
The story of this project started three years ago…which seems to me like forever ago. I decided to orchestrate my very first inspiration shoot. A carefully chosen team and venue later, we were in full swing carefully crafting the artful table you may have seen on the What Junebug Loves blog yesterday. There are a […]
A Momental Girl Get's Married – DIY'ing with FiftyFlowers.com and an Invitation Peek
Jess is a DIY girl at heart. From lace bunting to quirky signage built by the groom, this wedding will be full of hand crafted moments. FiftyFlowers.com offered to help out a bit with Jess’s blooms as have I! I tried my hand at floral design back in 2010 to celebrate the hubby and my […]
My Story is Art – Keep Your Nose to the Grindstone
I’m not sure I’ve ever introduced you to my Unkie. My great uncle Aaron, who passed years ago, was like a grandfather to me and the entire family called him Unkie, for a reason I never knew. Growing up he encouraged my every aspiration, took me on picnics and taught me to appreciate what he […]

My Story is Art – Lisianthus and Snapdragon Watercolor Pattern

Whether I pluck the freshest from my Mom’s garden or find some pretties at the local market, there has been no shortage of flora for me to capture. Last weekend I found the most gorgeous creamy, blushy Lisianthus. Rich, violet snapdragons were […]
My Story is Art – Handwriting Found
Emails have replaced long walks. Quick texts have replaced postcards. Letter writing is considered an heirloom skill reserved only for those of us with time to kill. Handwriting is loosing footing in this flurry of a world. I’m determined to keep a stronghold. Last year we collected a bunch of vintage postcards for this project. […]
My Story is Art – Re-discovering My Hours
Last week I spent a few evenings getting acquainted with the newest volume of Kinfolk magazine. The narrative “Undocumented Hours” was particularly curious and complex and has since inspired my to read again and again. It begins…. “The past few years have levied a strange burden of proof upon our backs, a burden to account […]
A Peek into the Studio – Pink Peony Wedding
This year I feel like Peony season just slipped through my fingers. This magical bloom, the muse of so many artists and designers is only with us for a short time. Luckily Janie Medley paid homage to the big and bountiful peony and allowed me a moment to linger a bit with the flower I […]
