Rainy Sundays where you can just lounge around in your PJs all day are the BEST, aren't they? Even better is when you get a fresh cooked breakfast like I did last weekend made by The Hubby. It's awesome when your husband is a good cook!
Just me, Quinley & The Hubby with no responsibilities and no-where to be...honestly, I'd have to say it was one of those perfect, relaxing Sundays I'm definitely hoping to repeat :-)

Rain Couldn’t Ruin The Beauty & Spirit of This Hermitage Museum & Gardens Wedding
Everyone's heard that rain on your wedding day is supposed to mean good luck for a marriage, right? Well how about this belief I just found on the Inter-webs,
"Rain on your wedding day is also said to symbolize the tears of all of your ex-boyfriends."
That's hilarious, isn't it? I'm guessing the person who came up with that was not quite over their ex...haha! I think I've pretty much heard it all now ;-)
But whatever you believe rain on the wedding day is meant to stand for, today's bride and groom Kait and Ian definitely didn't let one drop ruin their beautiful day! I mean, just slip Click Here to Read More
Repurpose Something Old Into Something Brilliant & New To You
New is not always better. In fact, many of us have a goldmine of old stuff in our homes which can be re-purposed into something so wonderful, we'd be appalled we ever thought it was junk. And in this economy, re-purposing is really the best way to go if you're looking to design any space on a small budget. And who doesn't want to save money, right?
The following are some images I found for today's design post showing several possibilities for items many of us would more than likely haul off to the closest Goodwill. So, the next time you're doing any "Spring Cleaning", ask yourself, "What Click Here to Read More

Rich and Michael Tie The Knot at Clover Forest Plantation with Blue, Green & Plaid Details!
I'm not going to get all gushy and talk about how great it is that Rich and Michael finally got married. As awesome as that is, given no matter what, marriage is about the LOVE and relationship between two people and nothing else. Nope, instead I'm going to let you admire the beautiful images of their wedding held at Clover Forest Plantation and photographed by Grant & Deb Photographers. Also, I have to mention the couple's fantastic choice of blue, green and plaid details. Even the officiant is wearing a plaid scarf!

Love Burlap? Then You Will Love These Napkin Ring DIY Tutorials
Last week I posted a tutorial on how to make a woven burlap table runner. This week, since I had so much left over material, I though I'd keep with the table set-up theme and post a few napkin ring tutorials using burlap as well.
Honestly, I have so many ideas for burlap napkin rings that this tutorial could go on forever, but here are just a few of my favorites.

A Classy Hotel Donaldson Engagement Session in Downtown Fargo
When I think of Fargo North Dakota I think of the movie...and it being cold...very, very cold. I'm sure anyone who lives there gets that a lot. But today's engagement session is anything but cold! Kailee and Michael's shoot was held at the classy Hotel Donaldson, a hotel, restaurant and sophisticated lounge in downtown Fargo. The session was held indoors in the lounge, lobby, restaurant and on the roof of the building. And to add a fun element of class, Kailee and Michael chose to include a drink and a martini in many of the images.

The Hunger Games Styled Engagement Session
I'm probably the last person on the planet who has not read The Hunger Games yet. With the movie out now I'd better get my butt in gear and read them, or at least the first one, before we go see it the theaters. It's just figuring out where I can fit that in with my schedule. I'm thinking it's going to have to be the audio version on my walks with Quinley. But...its a must read, right?
Much like the rest of the world, today's photographer Elle Golden Photography, along with her style team, were definitely bitten by The Hunger Bug as they secretly put together this shoot in a matter of weeks Click Here to Read More
An Elegant Alabama Private Residence Wedding
This wedding is top to bottom GORGEOUS! Held at the bride's parents home in Jasper, Alabama, Lillie and Brandon were married among family and friends who traveled from near and far to be there with them for their amazing day. Photographed by Evin Photography, the elegant and chic details that Lillie and Brandon incorporated into their special day make these images simply pop with breathtaking beauty. I am in love with the color of the bridesmaids dresses and the chocolate grooms cake with Kiwi fruit and apples running down the corner. They also seemed to have used every inch of the property Click Here to Read More
Soft & Subtle or Bold & Bright, These Pretty Patterns Are Sure To Liven Up Any Space
In my opinion, decorating with patterns is a must! Whether it's soft and subtle or bold and bright, adding a pattern, (or a few), to any space can breathe new life into an otherwise drab design. And with so many pattern options out there, there's definitely a pattern for every palette. Here are some of my favorites.
Chevron
The Chevron pattern is an inverted V-shaped pattern and it has become quite popular recently. Use it to paint a wall, lay out wood flooring or add a splash with various color pillows in the pattern. Or simply paint the pattern on a large canvas as done in the image Click Here to Read More
A Pretty Layered Necklace How-To
I think this necklace set is probably one of the prettiest pieces of jewelry I've made in a long time! Even better, you can separate the three necklaces and wear them apart if you like.
I think the key to making layered pieces that work well together is the same as in design or fashion, pick one constant color or texture and everything will flow beautifully.
Here's what you'll need.
Small size chain
Medium size chain
Assorted size and color glass beads
Assorted size and color plastic pearl beads
Large pendant
Tape measure
Jump Rings
Clasps
Pliers
Wire cutter
Scissors

A Black & Red Palm Valley Gardens Wedding
Janice and Michael were married in a lovely outdoor ceremony at Palm Valley Gardens in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
