PRETTY IN PINK

in just a few short weeks our dear friend sarabeth will be married!!

so before she says 'i do' to her handsome groom, we made sure she celebrated a night out with the girls- all decked out in pink of course!!

with my fellow and lovely hostess' we through a bachelorette party with all of sarabeth's favorite girls!

without planning it, the party ended up 'pretty in pink'! with pink balloons, cupcakes, rose bubbly  and of course the token pink gift bags;)

here's to you sarabeth- we can't wait to celebrate your special day with you!!

less than 30 days.. snap!!

PRETTY PRINTS

i am so excited about these pretty new prints hanging in my home! i was so excited to get these babies in frames, on the wall and photographed, that i now realized the quality of the pictures is less than pretty. but the prints are on the wall and still just what i wanted!

not sure where i saw the butcher diagram prints for the first time, but i knew i had to have them on my wall one day! so when i came across the cute shop : KITCHENBATHPRINTS on etsy i couldn't pass up this great offer: 'Buy any 3 8x10 Prints and Get a 4th 8x10 Print Free'! 

i picked my favorite 4 prints of the butcher diagrams to compile my own little 'series' - chicken, venison, beef and pork. 

the frames are from target and are a perfect fit with the 'butcher block' backdrop color!

loving this new addition to the home - learning while cooking sounds good to me!

BABES AND MONOGRAMS

 

it has started. seasons are changing. from wedding to baby season that is!

yes, its true. its time to move from bridal showers and bachelorette parties to baby showers, diapers and spit cloths? seems crazy,but here's to making the transition gracefully and in style!

recently a sweet friend of mine, whom i met at the sheridan french photo shoot two summers ago gave birth to a beautiful baby boy!!! the announcements were quite possibly the most darling birth announcement i ever did see- you will see what i mean when you click on that link!

i knew i wanted to send something to the beautiful mama... just a little treat that would make her smile and let her know i was thinking about her and her handsome new blessing. 

so i made a few personalized spit cloths- monogramed anything is ok in the south;)

heres what i did:

cloth diapers from target

vintage linen material from an estate sale for $3

lace trim from my (way too large) lace stash

and the monograms are thanks to my sister who is working here this summer!!

-->check out SewCuteInStitches on etsy... they do amazing custom work<--

these turned out better then i thought for not having a plan. 

which is why there is not step-by-step pictures series... i really just flew by the seat of my pants on this one... 

they may not be perfect, but they are made with love!

A SUNSET WALK

i love me some sunsets. i love 'em even more when i get to enjoy them with my hunny. if you follow me on instagram, you will see how much i love sunsets and love to capture them!

watching the sunset behind the ranch is amazing, theres nothing to block the view and its like an open canvas for God to get to work on a 'watercolor painted' sky! 

the above pictures are pure, all natural, no filter kinda goodness.... we took a hand in hand stroll to our favorite spot to watch the sunset on the ranch and i just had to share these beauties with you guys!!
