I am completely inspired to start on their wedding invitations....now just have to get out of vacation mode ;)

TODDLER TUESDAY- MCKENNA'S LITTLE MIRACLE

So even though Millie is not a toddler yet, she will be soon and I wanted to show everyone her little baby announcement.  I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and the photo taken by Jackie Rohling Baughman from www.blowingdandelionsphotography.com just made the announcement ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.  The story behind this little miracle brings a tear to my eye, and I am so honored to be part of the experience.

TODDLER TUESDAY- DAUGHTER LIKE MOTHER

Loving that my daughter's new favorite toy is her CPK doll!  Just a little blast from the past to hold you over until next week's Toddler Tuesday.  I am strapped down assembling some beautiful wedding invitations for my June brides and party stationery for my April babies!

These beachy jewel tones set the mood for a wedding in paradise.  Not only does it inspire me to design a watercolored invitation for a Maui bride, it makes me yearn for that tropical water and warm sunset.

A BABY SHOWER INVITE

This invitation was fun in the aspect that it pushed me outside of my comfort zone.  I usually find myself gravitating towards all things vintage, and this invite was more on the traditional side.  I had a great time doing this invite, and I hope that the guest-of-honor really enjoys herself at her first baby shower!

T.G.I.I.F.-THE CREAM EVENT IN LOS ANGELES

Last night a couple girlfriends and I went to The Cream Event in Los Angeles.  If you are a Los Angeles bride, this is the "IT" event.  Be prepared to be inspired and to have fun!  Talented vendors set up shop and display their work.  There was live music, a dance-off, food truck, amazing floral arrangements, photo booths, yummy cocktails and much much more.

There was one booth in particular that stuck out in my mind...and boy I wish I knew about this shop pre-wedding.  The shop is called Antiquaria.  What sold me on this company was the option to register for all things vintage!  They have vintage china, everyday plates, glasses, kitchenware, and textiles.  Below are some images of what they have for sale on their website.....J'ADORE!
