Allison + Joseph

This past weekend I had the privilege of helping a friend with her very special day. It took a bit of convincing to assure this crafty bride that everything would be in good hands.

Emma, Blair, John and I gathered all of our favorite old things and talents to create some truly unique decorations for this very hand made wedding.

The talented bride created all of the bridesmaids bouquets and groomsmen boutonnieres out of yarn, twigs and paper flowers. (See below)

I created a simple and elegant wishing tree for Allison's guests to leave a note in honor of their special day.

** I sneakily took several paint color swatches from Walmart to punch out tags which matched the color palette of the rest of the decorations.

Check out the beautiful hand bound book my friend Blair made for Allison's guests to sign.

We found the book at Reed's Book store downtown. Blair also designed a charming program for guests attending.

It was a beautiful night, and I am so happy I was able to share in this special day.

Oh, and mad props to Allison for a razzle-dazzle dance jam mix.

Moss Rock Festival

This weekend has been filled with art and cold toes, painted faces, bunting and plenty of granny squares. Lily was out of town this time around, but my friend Blair hung with me Saturday... we munched on some gyros and cheese straws while thinking of a thirty second elevator pitch to explain what a "seed bomb" was. So, here's to a beautiful Sunday filled with new friends and some bartered art!

A supa huge thanks to Mrs. Blair hanging and helping me in the chilly weather Saturday.

more photos to come...

so here are my thoughts

So I have a few Ideas for my halloween costume... this may sound a bit crazy.

I have to be clever. Halloween is huge! OK not really, but I just want for one year to think of some savvy original costume. This is the best I have come up with.

My only requirements are that I wear a wig, and it not be blatantly obvious who i am dressed as. One year I was a Harajuku girl, and it was a blast, yes wig involved, and insane striped tights. Well this year, I found this truly magnificent wig on ETSY (see photo 1) and i really want to incorporate that into my costume. SO, I am going to be a Japanese raggidy Anne doll/harajuku street fashion lady... still working on how im gonna make it happen...

Kentuck Festival

Some things are just worth the wait! This weekend Emma and I drove down to Tuscaloosa for Kentuck Arts Festival. Heavy on the folk art side of things, the festival features regionally renowned artists like Butch Anthony, Lonnie Holley and Charlie Lucas. My favorite happens to be the freshly made kettle corn and lemonade. Yes, it costs you an arm and a leg, but I assure you, money well spent.

I have visited this festival for three or so years now, and each year i find myself brining home something new. Besides greasy fingers (from the kettle corn) and a few Amos Kennedy prints, this year I picked up a dotten platter collage by Elane, which is currently perched snugly beside the unnecessary amount of vintage trinkets Emma and I scavenged from

thrift stores on the trip home.

OH! I have some music to impress.

The Jompson Brothers, played for a bit as we strolled through the booths @ Kentuck, and hot damn the lead singer had a pretty voice. I do recommend you listen.

something old

The poetry has expanded to weddings! What better way to share and enjoy written thoughts and rhymes than with those closest to you. This was the perfect atmosphere for typed poetry...pretty people, plenty of wine and cake, and velvet couches.

The suitcases were stacked,the ribbon was crisp,and the accordion whistled throughout the background.

Thank you Angela and Stephen for a beautiful night!

Check out some more of Lily's poems here.
