Lovin' the Teal!

Teal can be rich, bold and deep. It can be an accent or a main color. Now that I think about it, why have I not made a teal clutch! Well, perhaps some of these pieces will inspire me (and you)!

Wood Wedding

There is something romantic about wood... seriously. It has a warm feeling, rich colors, and feels nostalgic. I love the trend of having wood pieces incorporated into wedding schemes. Here are some that I love.

Destinations and places

I was perusing Martha Stewart Weddings and found this really cute idea. Traveling is so fun and I wish I had the space to create a travel area in my home. I currently have a shelf with some tasteful knickknacks. :) Anyway, these ideas are specific to destination weddings, but I just like them in general, especially the picture frame.

In the process...

I think it's fun seeing projects from the beginning, so a few weeks ago I took some pictures while I was making an order for 4 Ivory Silk Clutches with a Ruffled Flower (and pearls).

RAW Part II

It has been about three weeks since the RAW showcase I attended. If you missed the post about what RAW is, check it out here. The event itself was so much fun and I really enjoyed talking to everyone that stopped by! I would recommend participating to anyone and check them out to see if there's one near you.

Here are some pics from that night:

That's me!

The Art of Framing Shop

About two months ago I received an email from a super sweet person... we'll call her Blythe. She owns a neat framing shop in the San Diego neighborhood of Normal Heights called The Art of Framing. Primarily the shop focuses on, well you guessed it, framing! However, Blythe also has a boutique area with items from local San Diego artists (art, jewelry, leather goods, bags, apparel) in her cozy little shop. She contacted me to see if I would be interested in having some of my clutches in her boutique.

Discount Fabrics

It also *so happens* that her store is two doors down from a discount fabric store (located in an old theater) that I tend to frequent. Needless to say, I was very excited to have some of my items in her store!


Here are some of the clutches that Blythe is carrying from Simply Clutch!
