A New Year...

So I've been missing in action for a while - life has been crazy - but good:)  Have you been wondering what I've been up to?  Well, my holidays were great....

I spent the holiday season with family on an amazing and much needed vacation!

It can still be Christmas in 85 degree weather!!  I just loved these lights! 

Mom and me enjoying the beach at The Turks and Caicos Islands.

It was so great for us to get a little R&R!!

After getting back from my vacation I was off to Atlanta for an order writing show for the shop! 

Until you've lived through one of these shows you can't even wrap your brain around how intense it is!!  Your day looks like this for four days - 7:30am on the bus to the mart, shop alllllll day and back on the bus at 9:00pm to head to the hotel.  You don't sit, eat and you try not to drink so you don't take time to use the restroom!!  Maybe I'm extreme - Connie (my friend and fellow shop owner of aesthetics who dares to go with me)  might tell you this.  There's just so much to look at and you only have a limited time.  It took a few days to get back to reality - I was seeing burlap, linen, and numbers (yeah you spend lots) in my sleep!!  But it's all worth it when you get your treasures delivered!

You'll be seeing these at the shop!  I have a love for linen and ruffle bedding!

There was burlap everywhere!!

Beautiful lighting seems to be a huge trend - I found amazing lighting at all different price ranges!

There was so much industrial - I wanted it all!!!

Wings, big clocks, and again burlap everywhere!!!

Walls of mirrors were popular - LOVE this idea!

I was starting to see some color in the showrooms that normally were all neutrals!

I am so ready for a garden party!!

Vintage replica floral plates and adorable birds for each guest - soooo cute!!

Now don't think these shows are all one amazing showroom after another - it's like going to TJ Maxx, to find anything good you have to dig!!!  See how scary they can be - yikes!!! It takes a lot of work to dig through showrooms like this!!

 

I've been bringing some amazing new items into the shop! 

I'll post some pics of all of our great goodies!

Holiday Party!

Last weekend I decorated for a holiday work party! 

I had so much fun with this event - here are a few pictures!

Each guest received a stocking filled with goodies!

I painted tags with chalkboard paint and used a chalk pen for the numbers. 

I made these centerpieces from real vintage ice skates that I've been collecting just for this event!  They are filled with a mixture of greens, spray roses, larkspur, and burgundy seeded eucalyptus!  I sprayed the entire arrangement with glitter for a little glitz!

I created these table numbers with chalkboard paint also!

I tied a bow with bakers twine and glittered a tiny snowflake!

I brought this vintage toboggan to place some of the guest favors on.

Each guest was able to take a Colorado blue spruce home!



And one of these jars that I filled with hot cocoa mix, miniature chocolate chips, peppermint, and miniature marshmallows!  I placed directions on the back of the tag!

In these cute bags were iPads!  How lucky were these employees!?!

Erin at the Paper Co. printed these menus and I wrapped them with paper, ribbon and a felt snowflake!

Another picture of the centerpieces - I just love them!!!

Thanks for taking  a look:)

Around the shop...

Thanks to all of our brave customers who fought the crowds to get some great deals at our Midnight in Morris event:)  We were really busy and at times I had to have customers wait to get in!  By the end of the night it looked like a bomb had gone off in the shop!!  Here are a few before pics:)

Have a great week!

Winter White Wedding

Kim asked for her wedding decor to be very simple yet dramatic.  Her favorite flowers are roses and carnations so I wanted to incorporate them into the arrangements and decor.  We decorated with lots of white for a classic and elegant look. 

Kim was so great to work with and trusted my vision for her wedding! 

Here are a few pictures...

A rose wreath at the entrance

The tables featured different heights of mounded carnations with crystals hanging inside the vases.

A light was placed at the bottom of each vase to cast light upon the guests.

I covered these candles in white and tiffany blue paper and tied the guest place cards and crystal to each.

Kim and Mark - the perfect match

An apothecary jar of matches, which I wrapped in the same patterns I used to wrap the candles, was placed on the table with the guest place cards.

I zoomed in on this picture so it's a tad blurry but I wanted to share her beautiful bouquet composed of 30 roses!

Have a great week!
