Katie & Nate’s Wedding

Love this bride’s hair, bird cage veil, gown, and flowers!  And love that her husband surprised her with a song in the middle of their vows.  So sweet!

A sneak peek at some photos from Rifle’s grand opening last month.  I can’t wait for more photos to come!  I’m such a big fan of Anna’s work.

Frozen Leaves

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Yes, I just blogged about An Apple a Day yesterday, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to share this photo from the most recent post from Amy.  Isn’t this the most gorgeous photo of November leaves?  I think it quite suits the feel and colors of the 11th month quite perfectly.  Makes me actually excited for the first snow, whenever that might be…

Travels in Europe

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Have you been keeping up with Amy Merrick and her sister’s current travels in Europe?  It’s making me completely crazy to visit Europe (as if I wasn’t wanting to, ha!).  Definitely check our her blog updates.  Here’s a few favorites of their excursion to Bruges.

Grey Days

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Most of November so far has been pretty bleak: grey skies, chilly and cold, sometimes rainy for days on end, and for me personally very difficult.  Hoping December’s Christmas celebrations add a little more color and happiness… when things are hard, the weather always seems to make them feel doubly so.

Vintage English Lace Wedding

Monday, November 15th, 2010

A best friend sent this wedding my way (she said, “this is so you!”), and I’m so glad she did.  I love the bride’s veil and I’m definitely loving all the lace!  If I could get married all over again (to my husband, of course) and have the wedding of my dreams, this would be it.  Ceremony at a small chapel in the English countryside and a reception in a big tent with all our family and close friends.  And that veil and dress!  What a lovely and gorgeous bride and wedding.

Wagner Institute

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

The always fun and funny Amy Merrick took a trip recently to the Wagner Institute and was very stealthy and took secret photos of the collection.  I’m so glad she did!  I’ve got to visit this Victorian natural science and history museum someday.

Minted: Behind the Scenes

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

This behind the scenes photo from the Minted ad photoshoot really stood out to me today.  Love the simplicity and bits of color interacting with each other in the image.

Love the finished ads as well!

Autumn Visitors

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

We had three lovely visitors to our garden early this morning.  Thank goodness my camera was close by; I missed my opportunity last week when they came around the same time of day.

I feel very blessed to have such beauty right in my own backyard.

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Monday, October 18th, 2010

With all the soups that I’ve been making lately (and all the sweet potatoes I’ve been eating – 2 in one day this past weekend), these biscuits are on my baking to-do list.
