Last Spring my daughter and I were honored to be asked to put together a large-scale floral arrangement to be displayed at the pulpit of our church for an important meeting. We were given a modest budget and instructions that it would be on a shallow shelf, so the arrangement couldn’t be too deep. Other […]
Vintage Wedding Blush and Gold
June 12, 2013 by 7 Comments
Summer means wedding season! And since we started the summer off with a wedding, it means I haven’t had a many lazy days of summer, yet. But it was so fun to help my niece Mellissa on her special day! I was sort of the florist, day-of wedding coordinator, and day-of photographer all in one! […]

Cupcake Liner Christmas Tree, Elmer’s Holiday #GlueNGlitter
December 20, 2011 by 14 Comments
I have a couple of gaping holes on either side of my mantle that present some decorating challenges. Anything I put there ends up looking cluttery, unless it is the right scale. I spent some time looking at ordering some smaller Christmas trees. I thought something like this fancy feather tree from Z Gallery would be […]
Wonderful Wedding Inspiration
March 14, 2011 by 1 Comment
I’ve recently been asked by a few brides-to-be if I have any favorite on-line sources for wedding ideas and inspiration. I’m sure most everyone knows about sites like Martha Stewart Weddings or The Knot, but I have some other places you may not know about, that are full of wedding eye-candy and keep me planning […]

Welcome to the party! Imagine I’m greeting you at the door in a fabulously enviable outfit, with my hair and make-up salon-fresh.

January 6, 2011 by 15 Comments
Last year at this time, BSB’s sister got married. To say we were involved in the wedding would be an understatement. My whole family was part of the wedding party, I did the flowers, created the hot cocoa bar, BSB and I sang at the ceremony, and I helped coordinate the volunteers in the kitchen […]

I have lots of ideas for the New Year, and how I want to get organized, and some blog events I’d like to announce, but right now, I am exhausted, and will still need a few days to recover from the wedding this weekend! My husband’s sister got married Saturday evening, and not only were […]
10–Something to Celebrate
August 7, 2009 by 9 Comments
I’ve been trying to create a post highlighting the details of our wedding, 10 years ago, this week. But I am finding the challenge of blogging with pre-blogging, pre-digital images, combined with trying to get out of town for a family weekend, a little more than I can handle right now. So I’m not promising […]
Shanda & Preston-Summer Fun Wedding
July 17, 2009 by 12 Comments
Yesterday was my sister’s 4th wedding anniversary. She asked me to send her some wedding photos (since I have them all, since I offered to scrapbook them for her. What? It’s only been 4 years! I have a page or two done already!) Looking through the pictures I was reminded of what a fun wedding […]
