From our family to yours

I wanted to share our little Christmas card with you all and wish each of you a wonderful holiday season and happy new years!

We head out to the Dominican Republic tomorrow morning, so I won't be seeing you all until next year (I always love saying that). We promise to return with lots of pictures and tans. :)

Au revoir dear readers! xoxoxo.

Yes, please.

I'm convinced every wedding should have a portion dedicated solely to the release of hundreds of white balloons. :) Wouldn't you agree?

Sleep Elevations

These dreamy photos by Maia Flore have me so inspired (and really wanting a nap).

A little inspiration for your weekend.

I think this is the best possible explanation for why I love having a blog.

TGIF

I have been waiting for this weekend all month. And it's finally here.... the Renegade Craft Fair is coming to town!

What's the Renegade Craft Fair you ask? It's pretty much the greatest event of its kind showcasing over 200 of the finest indie-craft talents from across the country. (It's also where I got the dress I wore in our engagement shoot, for the ladies who sent emails wondering.)

Hope to see your lovely faces there. Let the shopping begin!

Flora Douville Calendar

Looks like I finally found my 2011 calendar. Check out this gorgeous ink painted version by Flora Douville. Time never passed so beautifully.

Custom Face Stamps

What a fun idea for stamping wedding invites, engagement announcements, or even holiday cards...

Available in the lovely French LilyMandril Etsy shop.

Sand Floors

Ken and I are heading to the Dominican Republic in a week to spend the holidays in the sun with my family. And with San Francisco foggy as ever, I can't help but wish for summer and look at beachy pictures. :)

These gorgeous sand floors have me counting down the days!






What are your holiday plans dear readers?

How Falling in Love is like Owning a Dog

I so love this poem by Taylor Mali. Wouldn't this make a perfect holiday gift, too?

Alice in Waterland

I can't stop starring at these underwater Alice photos by Elena Kalis! Aren't they incredible?

London Lust

This time of year always reminds me of how much I love English style. There's just something about cottages and winter that belong together. Don't you think?

This video is one of the most amazing things I've seen all year. Not only is the art direction incredible, but the message is powerful beyond belief.

Happy Birthday Mom!

You're still the cutest.
