there's something glorious about a white palette with wonderful textures and details. we love {olive manna} ~ check out their pretty tags, fun packaging and great home decor. 

colonial williamsburg, virginia

this week is a trip to historic colonial williamsburg, virginia one of the starting points or our country. i love the spirit of the south and was in love with this "exchange your tie for a bow tie" southern wedding {southern weddings and katie stoops photography}. so we are off and we'll be back in one week with more stories to tell!

pie in connecticut

this charming site {apt. B baking co} was something we stumbled upon and instantly wanted to make all these traditional desserts that were so beautifully photographed! this pie and rustic tin shot especially caught our eye. enjoy!

outdoor weddings

As my younger brother's wedding comes up this fall, I have become increasingly more obsessed with casual yet elegant outdoor weddings! This particular wedding seen on {once wed} has been my long- standing favorite. This bride casts an effortless beauty on the occasion, and the surroundings seem to fall into place with just the right amount of charm and softness!

Meeting Sarah...

Come one, come all to meet the author of the The NEWLYWED Cookbook!  Lifestyle expert & recipe developer, Sarah Copeland does not disappoint with this gorgeous book! Although I can't be there in person, I have had the privilege of tasting Sarah's "Deep Dark Secret Chocolate Cookies", and they are sinful! Not only do the recipes deliver, there's also a sweet story to go with them. Enjoy!

happy weekend! a few shots of my favorite things to {peek at: photos by the wild fleur} and day dream for a little while!

creating a happy space!

whether you sew or shop well, {caitlin wilson textiles} has you covered with her delightful textiles shop, online. we were so thrilled with the great colors and prints found here ~ i see a sewing project coming right around the corner! note: when using different patterns together, remember to keep a constant color throughout for a cohesive look that looks designer inspired and picture perfect!
