Glitter..Southern Style...

One of the most important things in life is the love of friends..

One of the best things in life is when you get to jump for JOY and shout HOORAY when they have accomplished something great!

This morning is no exception...

One of my former brides..

The lovliest of lovlies..

Miss Tami Rekas

(you know..that beauty from Southern Weddings Magazine)

has embarked on the adventure of becoming a wedding planner/stylist and

has formed the company 

Urban Lace Events

(more on this later)

located in New York and Virginia...

What started as clients quickly became friends and now even more exciting..

collaborator..

My heart has certainly skipped a beat...

So..

 last year when she brought her clients Sarah & Ashby to my door..

I couldn't have been more ecstatic!

They allowed us crazy designers to convince them that

gold, glitter, stripes and florals were the way to go...

We couldn't have been luckier..

AND

as luck would have it...

Style Me Pretty thought it was pretty awesome too..

So go check it out my friends...

 Preppy Striped Charlottesville Wedding

Shout a BIG hooray for Sarah &  Ashby..

Jump for JOY for Miss Tami Rekas..

This is just the beginning my lovely Southern Sister...

Your grace, wit, warmth, artistry and unmistakable Southern Charm

not only has won MY heart..

but will win the heart of others..

Friends..

This is certainly..

 one lady to watch...

a little glitter to start your week....

Dear Santa,

Here's what I'm thinking....Next year, the Wesson Family flies South for the winter. I do know that you can find us anywhere we go and palm trees definitely make perfect stocking hangers.  We did receive a major reprieve today as it was in the tropical 50's but lately it's been in the double minuses. One would think that all those cookies, cakes, cheeses, chocolates and more cheeses(which added an extra layer to my physique)would help...but suffice it to say..it hasn't done a darn thing. I know it's possible as you are THE biggest purveyor of glitter and magical things. In the meantime, I'll just let my imagination take me away...

to blue seas and golden sunsets...

To Sequins, Stripes and Snakeskin...

Your EVER Faithful Believer,

Lucinda
