Black and White and Yellow Wedding Invitation

Can we talk about the color yellow? Okay, good. I'm a little obsessed. I've noticed that lately I've been magnetized to the bold, golden hue. From curtains, to dresses, I just can't get enough...

Anyway, when Lisa contacted me about her wedding invitation and said "we want something fun and we're open to color ideas" I couldn't wait to get started.

When Life Gives You Lemons...Make Lemonade, and Share With Your Friends

Oh my, Summer is almost over. School started this week for the wee ones in the neighborhood. It was so cute to see dads and moms (with cameras in tow) walking their kiddos to school, backpacks half the size of their little bodies. Fall will be here before we know it. Until then, we'll cherish the remains of Summer here in Santa Barbara. (I know you Texans can't wait to see it go).

Two of our 8-year-old neighbors have made good use of our endless supply of lemons from the tree by making home made lemonade and selling it to the neighbors and passers by. We were excited to come home one evening to a pitcher of lemonade set for two and this sweet note!

Hope this brightens your day, it sure did ours!
