Not much. Wasabi with you?

Note to self: must go to NYC immediately. The MOMA store is featuring a product collection from Japanese designers (“Destination Japan“) and it totally rocks the house. What? I can shop online? Bliss. 

Splash dipping bowls, $40.

Paper or Plastic? Or Ceramic?

In between family fun for Memorial Day, the worst sunburn 
of my whole entire life, and the season finale of Lost, these cuties caught my eye.

Ceramic vases fashioned to look like paper bags. Genius. 
$35-$70 right here.

Messy Mandy Website

A few months back, I blogged about the identity work I did for Messy Mandy. Once we had that hammered out, we put together a simple website to match her branding. So visit now and if you’re in the Chicago area, give her a call.

I think Mother’s Day is the perfect...

Lukewarm Celeb Wedding Trends

OK, I’ll admit, I want to completely recreate the herb garden display as my kitchen table centerpiece. And I did swoon over the
candlesticks.

But grooms cakes as a “big hot celebrity trend”? Um, welcome to five years ago. (They were pretty cool cakes though, I’ll give
them that.)

And while I agree with what she’s saying about favors...

Kristen & Tracey

Kristen and Tracey were married in April at the beautiful Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. 
I first met with Kristen awhile back to design their save the date cards.

One thing became glaringly apparent when I first met with Kristen. This girl was not afraid of color. When I asked her what colors she was using in...

More Big News!

I have been wanting to find a good resource for silk boxes and envelopes for awhile now, and with the help of the ever talented Victoria Canada, found one! 

You should see these babies in person, words cannot describe their coolness. I have a spectacular sample kit for anyone who is interested in incorporating a silk...
