Good morning dear ones! I am excited today because Bixby’s “Nana” is visiting, so today we will be planning all sorts of fun things to do during her visit :) In the meantime, I wanted to share some gorgeous photos from one of my favorite wedding sites, Style Me Pretty. My own wedding in ’05 was a mostly DIY affair, and I had such fun planning every little detail. In fact, I still get kind of bummed out that I don’t have a reason to pick up Martha Stewart Weddings anymore! lol. To satisfy my cravings, I pulled some of my favorite images of wedding details with a casual, offhand sort of elegance. Let’s take a look, I think you will find that many of these ideas easily translate to everyday decorating and casual parties…

I love that first image, what a creative use for a wood slice! Jam jars, plain linen table cloths, eating outdoors, faded floral dishes, tiny vases of tulips cut short, single blooms in jars and bottles, writing on vintage windowpanes, repurposing wood as planters…these wedding details have my creative wheels turning, what about you?

On their website I also learned that Saipua comes from the Finnish word for soap – how about that? And in fact, they do make a few traditional sauna-inspired soaps, packed with bracing essential oils like fir needle. Goodness, imagine how delicious their shop must smell! Between the candles, the fresh flowers, and all of the lovely soaps, oh, my!
As some of you may know, my husband and I are looking to purchase our first home. Well, on Sunday we went to see a house. A soft spring breeze floated in by way of a charming screened-in porch. Light streamed through the windows, and though tiny, the bungalow had a spacious, open feel. And in the backyard were lilacs. Three huge, blooming lilacs. And lily of the valley. We’re going to the bank today… wish us luck!
