Design is Everything

I'm a huge fan of Jessica Hische, so naturally I loved this print she made with Josh Higgins


Happy Friday!


Royal Wedding




Prior to this morning, when I woke up to check what Kate wore, I didn't really care much about the wedding. But her dress was gorgeous. It's so simple yet it's still fit for a princess. Even better, I loved Pippa's (love her name!) bridesmaid dress . It looked so great on her! I seriously can't decide which I like more... 1 // 2

Rug Love

Wednesday, April 27, 2011


Since we moved into our place, I've been on the constant look out for affordable rugs. Its crazy how much they can cost! I think another aspect that is holding me back is choosing the style and color, because I just can't make up my mind. But I'm wondering if the search stops now, as I found a rug for under $100 today! The bottom right grey chevron rug from Urban Outfitters....

Thumbprint Trees



T H A N K S to my wonderful husband, who is a marketing guru, I've had new orders for my custom thumbprint trees. I've also had requests for more pictures. Above are pictures of my own and a tree recently drawn for an order. I've also had a few questions, so I hope this clears up any.

The order includes: a hand drawn tree on 22 x 28" (or smaller) white watercolor paper. I start with the paper size 22 x 30" but 22 x 28" is a close frame size. I recommend when deciding what size you want, making sure there is a standard frame size to match. I chose watercolor paper because it has weight and texture to it. 

You can buy ink pads at your local craft store. I recommend at least two colors to add depth. When picking out your ink pads and pens (for signing), make sure they are non-toxic, this means the ink won't fade over time. 

If you have any requests for specific tree types or font types, don't hesitate to ask! I think  it's really important to help make your wedding day match. If you have any 
other custom request, please email me. 


I tend to ship your tree two weeks (or so) before your wedding date (depending on your location). If you'd like it sooner just let me know!

My Madewell obsession  continues  to grow with their new arrivals (the shoes aren't new but they're awesome).

I really like great product styling. The products are so beautiful and styling them this way makes them shine even more.
