A Paper Summer Celebration
Aug 8, 2012
August is always a busy month. It seems so far away when June arrives, or while celebrating the 4th of July, or going about our day-to-day business during the summer. But there’s something about seeing the word “August” on my mobile that makes me jump into action. It feels like summer is getting ready for her final […]

Forever Summer
Aug 2, 2012
One of my favorite photographers, Matt Schwartz of She Hit Pause Studios, is currently featured at Daily Candy Deals thru 8/15/12.

Week in Review: July 16 – 20
Jul 20, 2012
Having an event on a Monday makes the week fly right by. As an event planner I’m trained for events happening toward the end of the week or over the weekend so having something early in the week is a change of pace. Admittedly I dig the Monday night dinner party. It shakes things up in […]
The Pin Zone: Pinning to Reality
Jul 10, 2012
A tablescape perfectly set. You give a happy sigh. You pin it. You repeat this several more times as you enter the Pin Zone. Before you know it, it’s past midnight and the dog is pacing by the backdoor, waiting to be let out. The Pin Zone. A dangerous time drain yet incredibly helpful.
