House stuff

I LOVE this hook! I collect hooks and this one must be mine!! Of course, it's from Anthropologie.

Photoshoot preview!

We had our big photoshoot last friday with the super fun and talented Sloans of Sloan photography. Katie's dresses were heavenly of course, they way we design our stuff to go together without even really coordinating that much is creepy, like she says- it's like we share a brain or at least a design brain if there is such a thing :-) Others who made the day amazing are Snapdragon studio in Phoenix especially Lainie for the Fabulous hair and my amazingly talented friend Rosie of Dollface ink for the pretty, pretty makeup. Thanks to the models for letting us dress them up like dolls all day!

This past April has been the busiest I've had and now it's time for a little fun and relaxation as the husband and I ALONE head off for France to visit the Alpes and Provence regions on a little road trip. I am excited but sad to be leaving my little girl for so long. She seems to fine with it as long as we bring back "gummi snails" (a little treat I brought her back from my trip there in February) I will be posting lots of pictures of the beautiful and inspiring things we see. We will also be scouring a few markets in the Provence area we didn't get to search in Feb for fabulous finds that will be available in my vintage shop- Joliejour.etsy.com. So stay tuned for another French adventure!

Oh and the etsy shops will be on vacation mode starting today, I will contact everyone as soon as I return on the 18th of May.

Leah's hair flowers

Man, it has been a really busy month!! These lovely flowers were for a wedding on April 24th- the sweetest bride! I love how she let me have a lot of creative control. She was also so creative herself coming up with lots of cute vintage and non traditional details for her farmhouse wedding, like sewing these super cute table covers. These flowers went in each of her 8 bridesmaids hairdos. I promise to post fabulous pics of the wedding soon, Kym Ventola of Ventola photography always captures the magic!

If you would like a hair flower like this to wear check out my etsy shop!

Soft, romantic, necklaces...

And clips! The clips can be used to adorn clothes or hair. These are the prettiest soft colors, completely handmade and so sweet.

Check them out in the etsy store.

remains of a wedding

Leftover buds on my window sill behind my work area brighten my day. last weekend's wedding went super smoothly and the Bride and her family were a dream to work with. These flowers were a happy reminder all week of how lucky I am that I have an awesome and fun job!

New boutonnieres...

Inspired by the book, check them out in the etsy store!

Fairy tales...

Lately Emma and I have been reading a lot of old fairy tale books like this one. We also love Cicely Mary Barker books. Thank you Aunt Kristina for the lovely books! In fact, we have a fun photo shoot coming up with the amazing Sloans of Sloan photography that will be inspired by these books.

This hair flower hat and matching boutoniere make me think "Sun egg" :-)
