They call it the “family picnic” but the word picnic doesn’t even begin to do it justice. There is a professional DJ, videographer, caterers, centerpieces, an ice cream man, etc. etc. Its […]

 As discussed in the comments of my last post about the Housewarming party, our charm jewelry was featured in Daily Candy Deals this past Tuesday and the response has been unbelievable!

Lynn from LKS Design tagged me last night. Funny because I was just thinking how I felt a little left out of the tagging going around the home & design blogosphere lately! So thanks Lynn :) Rules of the game: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to […]
