today & yesterday.

as promised, here are all the things i’ve loved over my time away from this & that.

states united by beauchamping.

a simple pledge by lure design inc.

i am quickly becoming a HUGE fan of the black & white. so elegant & beautiful! these are from a real wedding on 100layercake.

i love everything about this inspiration board from the inspired bride — the invitations, the colors, the place setting, the grey suit!

i will always be a sucker for the birds… there are more pictures of the paper suite at oh so beautiful paper.

how could you not be happy on your birthday if you received this beautiful gem by wiley valentine (and found on oh so beautiful paper)?

okay, i’ll end today with a series of adorable cards found on parcel post.

composition notebook cards, with subject lines.

airmail cards.

vintage book cards.

polaroid note cards.

index card thank yous.

simple cards with 'inner office mail'-esque envelopes.

bridesmaid to be.

i have been m.i.a for far longer than i could have ever imagined and i have big dreams for a ‘while i was out’ blog of all the great things i’ve missed.

in the mean time, much later than planned but with no less joy and excitement, i am happy to announce that my friend dahnya has asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding next summer!

i am thrilled!

(i am having quite a bit of trouble uploading a picture in the right direction and not rotated. i know it sounds simple but i can’t get it to work. i will share pictures as soon as i am able.)

she asked over the sweetest cupcake from sugarbabies and anyone knows the quickest way to my heart is with a little sweet treat!

it will be so much fun planning showers and parties for the blushing bride!

(and now i (kind of) have a (little) reason to look at all the stationary and invitations and wedding sites…)
