We Love Snow

Posted on Dec 6, 2011

Well actually, I don’t love snow. It’s lovely to look at an be in while warm and dry but I’ve never been a fan. I was once forced to go sledding my a guy I dated. It was not fun. Probably mostly because of my poor attitude but still. Not a fan.

On the flip side, I love photographing people playing in snow which made this Christmas Card photo shoot for the Hepworth family. I LOVED romping in the snow after this lot. It was SO fun!! Turns out snow is more fun than I thought.

Also, I want to go snowshoeing.

Display Thursday: Very Vintage

Posted on Dec 1, 2011

I love vintage anything. My fascination grew from staring at photos of my ancestors all over my walls as a child. My mother grew up on a farm in North Dakota and continues to collect items that hearken back to her upbringing. Butter churns, mason jars, and other odds and ends.

The photo displays today all revolve around a vintage look. I love this hanging ribbon look. It definitely hearkens back to a Victorian era aesthetic. I also love that their is a mixture of standouts, framed pieces with ornate and contemporary frames. This could be used with engagement photos or wedding photos as well as family photos. I think it would also make a super cute photo booth back drop too!

This is another great way to use a collection of trays as wall decor and incorporate photoraphs. I love this idea. So simple but really great. You could modge podge the image for a permanent fixture or use my favorite craft adhesive, glue dots. The removable ones are great. I get mine at Michael’s.

The stripe wallpaper has me drooling. You know I would totally try to do this with paint. But I’m not sure I have a death wish. It would take forever!! But I love it. And I love the arrangement of the frames around the convex mirror, which also adds to the vintage feel. So pretty! I also love that the images sit flat against the ceiling. Combined with the stripes it really makes the room look exceedingly tall. Mmm, hmm.

What plans have you for your photos? Is a vintage feel in your sights?

We Love DIY: Homemade Jam Favors

Posted on Nov 30, 2011

Nothing like wintertime to get me thinking about summer. I LOVE jam. Mostly because it goes so great on my favorite food, bread. Growing up in Southern California made for the perfect weather for fruit trees. We had an apricot tree and two nectarines and a non fruiting apple. Our neighbors’ plum tree spread its branches into our yard making a total mess and allowing us to scavenge for plums.

Jam really is the easiest thing to make, ever. It makes the perfect favor for a summertime wedding. Start collecting jars now. They’re super cheap at thrift stores. Just get some new rings and lids and you’re good to go.
