A few new pieces in the Etsy shop

I haven't done a big update to my Etsy shop for a while, so I've added three new pieces. Each one is very different, one of a kind, and fun. Enjoy!

Cesare Paciotti F/W 09.10 Ad Campaign | Constance & Eniko By Mario Sorrenti



Cesare Paciotti just released their fall/winter 09.10 ad campaign, featuring models Constance Jablonski & Eniko Mihalik as shot by Mario Sorrenti.

It's a more luxurious feel then their last F/W 08 campaign, then featuring model Bianca Balti, and which I still like better, but this is quite good as well.

Summer New Faces



Tuesday...

Hooray for short weeks!
Just a quick announcement, but Matt and I are giving ourselves a mini-vacation this weekend. We are leaving Thursday evening and will be back Sunday. Pieces purchased on Thursday/Friday that are not made to order will ship Monday.
Random photos...

We've been working on the yard quite a bit over the past few weekends. Here's a bit of our new lawn and some shade plants including hostas and viburnum. You can't see the hydrangea in this photo, but it's pretty big and blooming already.


garden1


Our new sidewalk full sun garden. We wanted it to look a bit natural and wild, while providing color. There are a few zucchini and tomato plants here as well. Low maintenance was our goal.


garden3


The alley garden I planted with a wild flower mix that is suppose to be good for butterflies and requires minimal watering. There were already some daylilies planted by the previous owner. Lots of lovely poppies. This side of the house gets tons of weeds for some reason. I see some in this photo and it drives me nuts.

We also planted bell peppers in the sidewalk garden. Did I ever mention that our sidewalk garden is big? We haven't planted it all quite yet.


garden5


I planted a bunch of pots again this year, and this woodland-esque one is my favorite.

The loyal dog (holding a down position until "released"). We've put Indy on a new training program. Have you seen those Perfect Dog infomercials? Well, we decided to get it for Indy because the one problem we have with her is that she wasn't coming when called in some situations. Well, after watching the DVD series (per the recommendation of a vet assistant who said it was really effective), we realized we had to totally re-program Indy because the traditional method of training with treats was all wrong (according to the DVDs). It really works! I can go on and on, but just wanted to mention because until the training is finished, she has to wear the special collar and leash that you can see in this photo.
Happy Tuesday!

Kathleen and Nick at Belle Mer in Newport, Part One

So the hot topic all week was the weather of course, and really it has been for a while, what is the deal?! But Kathleen and Nick got a bit of luck and it turned into a beautiful evening after pouring rain all day!

The girls got ready at Castle Hill in Newport. Check out this awesome bling shot!





More bling, because really you can never have a enough! I'm sure Kathleen will find reasons to wear these shoes again, they are so awesome!





Rub a dub dub, bouquets in the tub! These were done by the fabulous Stoneblossom crew headed by none other than Joyce.






How cute is Kathleen 'jumping' into her dress, she looks so happy!







They were running a little bit late so she had to run...







But there is always time for a spin or two...







Here are the guys before the ceremony which was held at the Cathedral of Peter and Paul in Providence.







These girls were having the best time all dressed up as the flowergirls, always a highlight of a little girls life I think. I guess it's bride-practice, see you in 20 years girls...







WOW! This is a grand entrance for the bride and her Dad. The isle is nice and long so you get the chance to really enjoy the moment.






This church is so dramatic and beautiful, this is such a serious photo, you can feel the nervousness.






Isn't this little boy the cutest, I just want to squeeze him! As I'm sure all the other ladies do too!







Even though you can barely see them there at the alter, they are there amongst all of the amazing ornate detail in this church.






A cool detail shot at the back of the church that was irresistible.






There they go, cascading back down the isle...married!







Always time for a smooch...






Shiney happy bridesmaid!








Oooooooh!!! Thank you awesome sunlight and veil combo gods!







Too bad Kathleen is so unhappy.







Getting back into the limo to head back to Newport for the reception...







Here is the fantastic detail that Kathleen had added to her dress, LOVE IT! Again, never too much sparkle!







What a hot couple!







Aww, how great is this moment!







Wow, more miracle sunshine...it was beautiful and dreamy for sure.






The ladies...







Maybe all that sunshine was coming from inside Kathleen?!







The men...







A very fun wedding party!







More 'hot stuff' from these two...






They had a lot of laughs together and really were having a great time at their wedding!







Whoa. Love this shot! It's so great when it all comes together for that perfect moment.







They even got crazy clouds in the sky, very cool!







Ya hoo! What a great time we had doing the formals, we just kept snapping and snapping. So much good stuff!

See you tomorrow for part two!
