Classic Fall

I just got the photos back from a lovely autumnal wedding in October. I am loving the way the orange pops on the navy blue. The photos are so saturated! We nestled little lady apples in the centerpieces. The photographer is Aaron Almendral.

Moody Blues and Grays

I learned about this lovely exhibition in Portland Me. titled Come Darkness, curated by Maria Alexandra Vettese via Lena Corwin. To make you dream about winter days, white light and cloudy skies. I wish I could beam up to Maine and see all these works. Ideas are swelling in my head and I am pressed for time and out of focus. My irritation mounts. I am second guessing myself and that is the worst. When my creative desires get out of whack, I need to repeat my little mantra and say "stay close to flowers". Somehow this calms me and I know new art will follow suit. pretty please. Ok, vent over.

Here is the new logo for my handmade "things" enterprise (haha). Since I am having trouble settling on what exactly I will be selling...wreaths, decor, prints, crafty projects, art...I thought "things" covered it all. I decided against "goods" because it sounded too official and reminds me of bags of barley and bolts of fabric (which I will not be selling). And "do-dads" was too much of a mouthful. Can I boast that I hand drew the border and tweaked it in Photoshop all by myself?! Silly but a big deal to me. My husband was laughing that I have my logo and tags ready before I have the work finished. He just doesn't get it. Sometimes getting your packaging together helps push you forward. Right? Or am I just working backwards?

Fancy Headbands

I don't know what is prettier these gorgeous headbands or the photo styling? I wish my littlest pheasant would would wear a headband! Right now she is into the wild child look. A Field Journal created them for Project Wedding. Click here for instructions on how to make one. Maybe, I will make one for when she is older? Add it to my ever growing list of "things I'd like make list"
