I was going to post an entirely different post today, but I’m so in love with our most recent creation…I just had to dedicate a post to it.  We’re often asked by clients if they can use their own logos or if they can use a logo with a graphic in it.  We can never say yes immediately without looking, but often times we’re able to use or tweak the design.  That was the case with Erica’s aisle runner.  She had her own design and originally wanted a LOT of work done on the runner which would have meant many hours of painting and of course more money.  At first, she wanted us to paint the entire design on the runner, but then we suggested going with a green colored runner so we didn’t have to spend as much time painting.  Eventually we were able to tweak the original design  into perhaps one of my most favorite aisle runners yet.  All in all, the painting still took about five hours to do, but I’m loving every bit of it.  Take a look at the original design and then the fabulous finished aisle runner and go ahead and tell me how much you love it.  :) Then, head over to Kiss And Wed to place your order!

About the shoes…I don’t know if I should cry or throw up

Omigosh I’m sorry, sorry, SORRY for leaving you hanging for so long.

My stress levels have been at their peak since before the trip to Seattle (largely work-related) to and I didn’t think it was possible but they have just ESCALATED.

For those of you dying to know, in short, the trip to was disastrous. We did NOT find bridesmaid dresses, or pants for the groomsmen or cute dresses even a frickin’ HOTEL ROOM in Seattle. Oh yes, you heard me right. It was a thoroughly depressing situation. We came home a day early.

I’ve found the dream shoes… almost. Help!!

Oh my Lord. My heart is racing and my palms are sweaty and I think I might be hyperventilating.

Because of this:

My book club friend Sam–to be herewith forever known as Samantha, Patron Saint of the Heavenly Shoes (God bless her soul!)–just sent me a link to these shoes at Net-a-Porter.

And when I saw them, these spectacularly magnificent, exceedingly ravishing Christian Louboutin Mauresmo chiffon slingbacks I promptly swooned.

It was like the heavens opened up and the angels began to sing.

Nine West Girltime shoes on sale

I was just writing a post for the hive and stumbled upon this fabulous Nine West Girltime shoe in one of my bookmarks…

… which is now ON SALE for an amazing $29.99!!! If they strike your fancy, run and DO NOT WALK to Nine West.

If I didn’t love my purple Loubs so much, I just might have been tempted by these metallic peep-toe darlings. Too cute.

I’m too excited to sleeeeeeep

Only one more sleep until the legendary (it hasn’t even happened yet and it’s already legendary) trip to Seattle.

All day I’ve been hearing the voice of this funny little guy playing over and over in my head:

Funny Wedding Laughing Boy

Although I’m ecstatic to be going, the timing couldn’t be worse in terms of work; we have a huge deadline to hit so while I should be dancing around my place and singing and making shopping lists and printing off Google maps, instead I’m stressed out (and writing about being stressed out, d’oh!).
