Good friends of mine Tara & Chris are expecting!  To capture the excitement, we did a pregnancy photo shoot a few weeks ago. Between the bedroom and the tulips, can this couple get any cuter!?!

As a gift for their shower, I printed and matted three of our favorite prints and also made a flag banner alternating photos with colorful pattern papers. See below at the party hanging on the mantle!

Decoupage old stamps on blown-out eggshells or on wooden eggs,  each one will tell a story and be unique. Happy Easter all!

Loving this formal and subtly stunning table setting via Dauphine Press.  Tinted green glassware, distressed wrought iron seating, and succulent centerpieces scream spring, while touches of gold trim add flair. Poms of orange and golden yellow add pop and mis-matched floral china and patterned invitations blend in an old world charm. Oh what a happy day I take a seat at this table.
