It’s beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!!!

We were lucky enough to be able to help decorate The Loft Salon and Spa for Christmas. We used one of our favorite things right now — cotton!  It turned out amazing!  The salon is always decorated so beautiful by Jessica (owner) but it was fun to help her make it sparkly and Christmasy!!  Here’s a couple pics:

Sneak Peek

This week we were hired to style a photo shoot for engagement pictures.  We had so much fun gathering props and designing beautiful settings for this charming little couple.  Their photographer is Diedre Lynn Photography.  It was so fun meeting her and she was so great to work with.  If you haven’t checked her out - do it!  She is amazing!

This is the van packed full of awesomeness.

And a little sneak peek…..

Fall is finally here!!

Today I went to Fresh Market to grab some sushi for me and a friend.  I left having spent $60.  How the heck does that happen???  I’ll tell you how!  They had gorgeous bunches of Bittersweet vine.  I HAD to get myself one and I HAD to get Shanon  (the other half of Bittersweet floral) one, too.  I mean I HAD to. 

I love fall and love to decorate for the seasons.  This is what I did with my beautiful (albeit expensive) Bittersweet.
