Milk Glass 2.0


Found a new use for my collection that I used as centerpieces on the big day.  I planted Basil, Chive, Rosemary and Sage.  I am doing much more cooking lately...and not just Mac n Cheese.  Although maybe I should try Rosemary Infused Pasta de Frommage.

Irish Blessings

I made St. Pat's cards for a couple LUCKY people.  I loved what I came up with.  I knew I wanted handmade, then just wandered through Hobby Lobby looking for inspiration.  There are so many awesome papers and stickers, just add imagination!  The vision of a red headed irish man didn't come to me until I got home.  I crack myself up.

Just did it.











We got married.  Now back to sweet reality.  More time for the things I missed...like being crafty, getting creative, and searching for the new "I have to show you what I found" find.   

My favorite picture from the Big Day is on this old couch.  We were driving in our limo after the ceremony looking for inspired photos.  This couch was at a parking lot garage sale in the Crossroads area.  The lucky guy that let us borrow his new couch for 10 minutes paid $30 for his new sofa.  He was lucky.  We were Lucky.

Vintage Friends.

...from Eat, Pray, Love. 

This day was one of my heaviest.

Tie the Knot.




Shannon doesn't know how to tie a tie.  He has until October to figure it out!

Typogra-what?















Typography: The act or art of expressing by means of types or symbols.  

I love the use of words in any form.  Very simply they express the feeling that you are trying to achieve.  Cheating I know, by giving the viewer the answer, but very effective.
Here are some uses I have found lately. 

Opus: an artistic or creative expression, especially that of a music composition. 

Do you find my opus in the photo?

A bit o' green.




As a nod to my Lucky-To-Be, I am put a dash of green in the wedding.  I teased my maids by telling them they were going to be wearing green dresses.  I wouldn't want that torture imposed on me, so instead I gave them the gift of grey dresses.  I think they are all going to look amazing. 

This little collection of frames are from one of my favorites, TJ Maxx.  As a single, a cute frame is just that, cute.  But as a plural, oh how the collection sings.  Kinda like Shannon and I.  Better together.
