I wanted the invitation to really set the stage for our “Perfect Pair” theme, which was inspired by the lil’ twins themselves. A palette of dusty pink, grey and turquoise and the modern houndstooth pattern continued through to the signage and other paper goods for the event.

And as before any special occasion, I made a trip to LaurieAnna’s Vintage Home in Canton and selected a handful of beautiful dishes and decorative accessories to use at the shower. LOVE.

Congratulations Emily and thank you to the other hostesses for all of your help! Enjoy!

Over 75 baby booties! Grey with brown buttons for the boy and pale pink with a pink bow and button for the lil’ girl.

The invitation was boxed and wrapped with a turquoise ribbon and 2 tags

Each invitation was lined with grey striped tissue paper and included a pair of houndstooth baby booties!

Corresponding wrap around address labels to match. Super chic.

Our main table was filled with all sorts of pretties- the invitation, pairs of baby booties of course, oversized
tissue paper flowers and mercury glassware of all shapes and sizes.

Mercury glass hourglasses from LaurieAnna’s Vintage Home were the perfect touch.
When we added a ribbon and turned them on their side, they looked like rattles!

Pretty candy for guests of course!

To go candy bags with houndstooth tags matching the invitations. Pink and grey striped straws were used for the lemon
water and peach sangria which were served in small mason jars!

Vintage porcelain baby booties decorated the tables throughout and brought the theme to life.

Fruit cups galore! The galvanized tray from LaurieAnna’s was the perfect serving piece for these yummies!

The flowers arrangements consisted of blush roses, blue hydrangeas, cream roses and grey dusty miller leaves.

The cake was made by  The Cake Stand in Mckinney, Texas. They did an
amazing job of creating a design to match the invitation.

The food served was an assortment of Emily’s most craved bits and bites during her pregnancy.

We asked guests to bring a children’s book instead of a card to the shower. Such a cute idea!!

Wishing trees tags filled with words of wisdom and well wishes for the new parents.
A great keepsake for the baby book.

Thank you so very much hostess with the mostess Lisa and congratulations once again Jamie! I am incredibly thankful to have clients as wonderful as the both of you.

USPS just came out with this years new Love Postage Stamp. It is graceful and perfectly suited for all romantic occasions. I love the swirly script used on this stamp and the bright red…a perfect way to add a pop of color to your envelopes.

In this photo, the newly released stamp is paired with few vintage Love stamps from my collection.

My favorite part of this invitation? The envelope liners, which are original pages from one of my vintage books titled “The History of Texas.”  It’s all in the details when it comes to making a wedding invitation fresh and unique and this suite…truly one of a kind.

Saturday, I made a visit to Alston’s Old Home Place, located in the Garland’s downtown square. Alston’s is definitely one of my “go-to” favorites. The prices are fair and affordable so I rarely walk away empty handed. Here are some photos I took while purusing through his lovely store and the items I just couldn’t leave without.

Thank you Alex and congratulations to Deanna and Jeremy!

Also created for the party were signs labeling all of the yummy food…

And so I MUST share a few photos of Lisa’s swoon worthy, make you want to melt home. Every nook and cranny is filled with unique treasures styled in a way that only Lisa knows how. It is a sight to be seen. And then dream about later.

A few (of many) perfectly placed focal points in the living room

The details just go on forever…even in the kitchen.

And to top it off, there is an adorable chicken coup in the backyard. Need I say more?

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you so much for stopping by.

I must say this time around it was much easier to make and turned out even prettier. Again, I only used materials from around my house and yard plus a few purchases from Dollar Tree, such as the eucalyptus leaves and gold dusted pine cones.

For the frame, I used an old lamp shade that I had in my garage. It worked so perfectly and is a strong, sturdy surface for all the goodies surrounding it. No more crushed tree toppers in my future.

Happy holidays everyone. What fun and crafty adventures do you have in the works?

I will be back soon with some of my new work. There is so much to share. Thank you for dropping by!
