a little glitter to start your week...

Image by María de Miguel for Elle Decor Espana

ANYONE who has lived with me knows that I am a hoarder...
of magazines..
But since I am sticking true to my New Year's resolutions..
sadly..
they must go...
Not all..
my god.. that would send me into shock..
So..
over these past few brutally cold weeks,
I have said goodbye to some very very dear friends..
But
for the lucky remaining few..
I need something
a little glittery
and
a little golden
to 
honor and contain my lovely ladies..

Seeds and Stamps...

Certainly one design element that often gets forgotten when creating wedding invitations is the stamp...

Those who are not looking for pricey custom or vintage ones

are left to the mercy of the United States Postal Service...

Sadly the array of .64 cent stamps is exactly that..

SAD...

But this year my lovelies..

This year I could honestly design an entire suite around these FABULOUS vintage seed packet stamps...

Ok..maybe I'm a little biased as they are

some of my favorites colors

and

possibly perhaps

that

90% of them are either growing or soon to be growing in my garden.

Can you imagine how lovely this garden wedding would be? 

Brides & Grooms..

I would be running on over to USPS before they all get picked! 

a little glitter to start your week....

Why yes..
I would LOVE to step into your vintage cocktail ring shop BHLDN...

Lace it up....

It's official...

We are actually having a mini heat wave here in the Northeast..

Who would have thunk it would be right smack dab in the middle of June!!

You know it's really hot when the Tall One has "allowed" me to turn on the a.c.

That being so.....

When I saw this gorgeously fabulous gown from the 2013 Resort Collection of Monique Lhuillier.

my heart and soul were on FIRE!!

It is simply to die for...

Can you EVEN imagine owning this gown?!!

If there was ever a dress that could sum me up..this would be it!!

Vintage, modern, handmade, textural, classically cut and wonderfully colorful!

 A girl can dream..

But maybe..just maybe...

I might just find a little lacey number to soothe the soul..
