I love the weirdest smells.

Today Troy & I had the opportunity to do an engagement shoot in Disneyland. We had a blast! Upon leaving, I ran over to get my “exit hand stamp.” Since I was little I have loved the smell of Disney’s hand stamp. It may smell like a mixture of cleaners to some people – but...

A bride idea!

Yesterday, I had coffee with my friend Corey, who told me about a brilliant idea! Her sister, who is getting married in the spring, asked each bridesmaid to be in her wedding by sending a bouquet of flowers. She used four florists & gave each one the same description. After each bridesmaid recieved the bouquet,...

wise willow.

This has been an exciting weekend! My sister flew in & we went on my bachelorette trip to Palm Springs, where we stayed at the Ace hotel. It was quite a relaxing trip! We soaked up some sun, made s’mores, went out to eat & rented a good chick flick. On Saturday, my aunt Shay...

Joel & Rosanna. 100% handmade

I am excited to finally put this post up! I went to a small high school with Rosanna (who was a few years older), & saw her wedding photos online a few months back. I loved how her wedding looked truly handmade! Seeing the photos of her wedding actually helped me come up with the...

love and strawberries.

These cute little jam jars are going to be part of my centerpieces at my wedding reception. My good friend Lindye suggested that I tie in my themes by creating labels for the jars that match the invitations. I am very happy how they turned out! Now all we need are some cheery flowers to...

kitty cats and cigaretts

While walking around down-town Omaha with Troy’s family, we found an amazing thrift store that has been open since 1978. If you could get past the cigarett smell & put your cat allergies on the back burner, this place was covered wall to wall & ceiling to ceiling in treasures. Antique mirrors, Titanic looking old...

Twigs Adorned.

Last week, I had my friend Lindye Galloway over to help me with wedding crafts. She is a very creative & inspiring friend, the same one in fact who created that amazing suitcase chair I recently featured. I had seen some images online of a Strawberry Farms wedding, where the couple made their initials out...

Chatty Cathy

Don’t you just love that phrase? “Chatty Cathy.” So simple, yet it says so much. Funny thing is, I do know of a couple Cathy’s that are on the chatty side. While I was having coffee with my friend Olivia, at none other than the amazing KEAN coffee, she used the “Chatty Cathy” phrase. It...

Heather, the senior editor, contacted me shortly after I started my blog, to document this special time. To learn everything and more “unveiled” about our...

you a-muse me

Yesterday morning I met up for coffee with my friend Allison, who I worked at Montage Laguna Beach with this past summer. While we were talking she mentioned how neat it was that Troy and I are in the same “muse” now. I love that word, MUSE. I’ve been thinking about that today & re-appreciating...
