Yaaaaaaaa!!!!! I decided on this design from Amanda Archer, and after she sent me some beautiful swatches, I'll be going with an amazing mint green pique fabric for them!!! I honestly couldn't be happier, they are so gorgeous, my ladies will look lovely...they have pockets and a ruffly collar to boot : )
Loving these fun, colorful and casual invites from Mok Duk!!! There will be no cream or ivory...no ribbons or bows made of silk here.....and do I see a bit of mint green and yellow...all topped off with the brown paper envelopes!!!! *sigh*...well they are very pretty aren't they!
Check out these AMAZING photos by Rachel Thurston over on Once Wed!!! I just saved about 5 in my *wedding insp. folder!!!!! love love love the vintage finish on the photos...it's exactly what I'm looking for.
:: peace and love ::
How pretty are these!?!! I really wish I could rock a snazzy headband frequently....(who says I can't right!?). Regardless....if I do get the cahones* to start this up, these are the ones I would want! Go on over to Which Goose and check them (and many, many more) out here!
I finally got around to potting my plants this last weekend!! I got two white pots from Ikea (and I need more....hrmm...) while the beautiful 18'' yellow ceramic pot is from a local nursery called Pacific Home and Garden's. For now the bigger of the two Agave plants and a beautiful little purple succulent are residing in there until I find more white pots for them....I found the yellow one a while back, got around to buying it with the justification that it will be perfect for the wedding (somewhere....). I think they look cute and they 'cozy up' our little pad!
:: peace and love ::
(p.s. we may be moving to a bigger space (WITH A YARD!!!!) yayaya...if so, I will be blogging up a storm about starting my garden (finally....I can't wait!) hope it all works out!)
Welcome to Linea's Cafe!!!! It's our favorite little spot in SLO...with good coffee...yummy little salads and home made muffins and croissants (as well as 'espresso eggs' and breakfast burritos)....it's such an amazing little place. I have been going to Linea's since I was a baby (I'm a local) and it really hasn't changed at all...still beautiful..lush..has a Koi pond that toddlers find just as interesting as I once did........I could go on and on...
no....i don't have a photographer 'just' yet...working on it and entertaining many options....so many amazing photogs out there!! HOWEVER....I did happen upon this Tory Burch dress and Vivienne Westwood jelly heals (imagine that!?) and am seriously obsessed with both--perhaps together--perhaps for our engagement session, whenever that occurs!! I do know that I 'need' both pieces in my closet a.s.a.p. if not for engagements--just in general...because I will for sure be wearing those snazzy little heals for everything imaginable.
:: peace and love ::
*my love of Tory Burch is well documented....see it here. (one might say it parallels the obsession I have with Nina Garcia....but let's not get carried away!)
well I haven't downloaded many pics I've been wanting to share with you (I finally potted my plants in pretty white pots from Ikea!!) so I am going to post some of the decor photos that I've saved here and there that inspire me! ((I am soo very bad with saving where images are from...I will work on that...I'm sorry...so if you know of where one of these is from, please let me know, I like to give credit when I can!). I do know the bottom is from Apartment Therapy. I love graphic, modern, clean and fresh design...all of these exemplify that to some extent, I also love color and am very picky about them in my home (not saying my home is perf. far from in fact...but hey...story of life right...work in progress.) I love the color and print of the wallpaper in the first one...the pillows and refinished stool in the second...the clean white lines of the desk area and the amazing graphic rug and modern coffee table in the last!!
Enjoy and happy Thursday! (it's my favorite day of the week...along with Sunday!)

I've been admiring Linda & Harriett's work for sometime now...especially loving their citron zig zag note card and the lined envelopes they offer! I'm craving a fresh idea...craving to choose or find something that is new...and un done. I just don't want all my choices to directly mimic things that have already been done....hmmmm? If anyone knows of a lovely modern, fresh and whimsical paper goods and invitation company please let me know!!!
Happy Saturday...Just thought I would post a little snippet of my inspiration board before we take off for SF ;-) I try to re do the board often, saving little pieces of magazines and articles that are inspiring by either their content or their colors and images!! It's something I have fun with, and I'm really loving the one I have right now. Enjoy the weekend everyone, I know I will. (please excuse the poor pic quality...it's from my phone!)

We're off to San Francisco for an A's game this weekend...staying at the Villa Florence hotel and going to Ikea on Sunday to hopefully find and grab some of these goodies above (I'm really hoping for a new media station...bedside tables...and a chest of drawers...but let's try not to get *carried away). I'm hoping for a wonderful and relaxing trip with my honey...a lovely get together with our very good friend Mara (Ashlee has suggested the Bubble Lounge), for the A's to win of course....and good weather! Happy Weekend everyone : )
:: peace and love ::
*carried away :: something I do often.....
I've been eyeing these images for a bit now...meticulously saving my favorites for inspiration later...well, I've decided that they needed to be shared (along with everyone else in the blogosphere...) the pics are obviously amazing...the feeling they evoke is lovely and peaceful. I just want to spend a day inside every frame, perhaps I can create this atmosphere for a shower..or bridesmaid's luncheon...because it certainly is magical!! Check out the rest (you wont be able to stop looking...at Once Wed). Photos by the insanely talented Tec Petaja. :: peace and love ::
Hi....my dream photographer...where have you been *all my life---I had to say it, even though it makes no sense. But seriously...wow...I really am in love with these pics...it's exactly what I want....lets see if I can rope this ever popular Max Wanger into shooting my engagement and wedding pics....*HA...we shall see. He's probably booked for the next 5 years. Wish me luck! Pics by Max Wanger via 100 Layer Cake !!:: peace and love ::
