Feeling Preppy?

I found this adorable photograph of this woman

and I absolutely adore her outfit. 

I love her layers, her red lipstick, pale pink shoes

her big shiny pearls and her amazing sunglasses.

(And coming from someone with 'cankles' I even admire her skinny ankles)

It makes me want to go into my closet and layer all of my favorite button ups.. 

{xox} I've been inspired for my day.

Than I found this photograph at I feel Preppy and I thought

"Surely this Man is searching for that Woman"

Wouldn't they make a great pair?

A question for everyone...

I have a QUESTION. 

Have you ever been really mistreated in business?

I just had my designs stolen from me. Yes. Stolen, admittedly so, and proudly used.

How would you deal with that?

What a sassy package

Oh come on. I would buy this even if I didn't need soap. 

This is brilliant marketing. I adore the line underneath that reads 

"Help is on the way" it makes me feel like the little soaps 

are mini super heros. I love them. 

Love this Campaign! {xox}

I love Advertising design. 

Love Agency created this creative campaign.

Talk about getting into reading! 

Photography Crush.

I LOVE this photo.

A Garden Themed Wedding...

This season I had the honor of working with Mike 

and Sal, to create their wedding invitations. They 

are getting married by the water and having a 

garden themed wedding, so asked for a 'wildflower look'.

Here is our final result. 

I created custom watercolors for each piece 

{including map!} and bundled it all together 

with a custom designed wrap around. What do you think. 

Congratulations Mike and Sal {xox}

Well, back to reality.

Well, I am back from my super sunny relaxing 

weekend by  the dock of the bay {xox} My 

older sister and her husband flew in and the entire

 family was together, for a rare treat. Their dog, 

Ollie and Cricket became best friends fast and I am

 dreaming of sipping my coffee there this morning.

But, Dave and I hit the road before the sun this 

morning and here I am back at my desk. I find 

that although the transition from vacation to work

 is always very difficult, I am looking forward to today.

My hands miss the flow of the lead on the paper

 and my brain is aching for some creativity.

So here we go. And first up... a post about these awesome 

scarves by French Felt. I like to wrap myself in scarves

in the evenings during the summer, because around here 

sometimes the bugs can be a nuisance

these would be absolutely perfect, don't you think?
