pretty and white and lacey

{from pistachio press' etsy shop}

i love most things pretty and white and lacey. plus my heart just flutters for almost anything blind stamped.

if you haven't seen this watch it.

if you have seen this ... hooray!

packaging

yes i know the cards are wonderful, but can we talk about the packaging for a second? i love these boxes! they are filled with letterpress cards, from orange beautiful, just waiting to be opened ... or maybe kept shut? available here.

please someone buy this!

and then send me pictures of you wearing it. i love this dress, and would grab it in a heart beat if i thought i might be able to fit into it. available in the neringaci etsy shop found on perfect bound.

i may be crazy but,

i have always wanted to have scented candles around my ceremony and reception. i don't know where the idea came from, and maybe it is my insane sensitivity to all things smelly, but i am going to purchase these for the bathrooms and tents. have i lost it? i mean really?

{votivo deep clover candle, aka the scent of our wedding, available here}

i love invitations

and i am LOVING this one from the friends of the lovely blogger behind beautiful paper. the invitation is so personal and wonderful you must click over to see the rest of the group.

crazy calendars

goodness they are everywhere these days. i guess that means the holidays are upon us. but it is only october! i do wish i could postpone the winter holiday bonanza until thanksgiving is over ...



back to calendars. this one is my favorite so far. i originally spotted it here, but it is available here.

field of dreams

how wonderful would it be to approach a seemingly empty field only to turn the bend and see this?

clever campaining

i am hands down impressed with all of the campaign art that is floating around these days. i love the approach that the obama campaign is taking and then there are all of the extras popping up from creatives all over ...

obama pin set available here and found on lovely morning.

pretty dresses

simple and lovely from chicago designer horacio nieto.
