2014!!

I can not believe it is 2014 already! The last 2 weeks in December where a complete whirlwind of fun, family, Christmas spirit, shows, and the flu. It was a complete blur yet wonderfully festive. We enjoyed celebrating Hannah's first Christmas and New Year. And are completely excited for what this year will bring. 

Hoping that 2014 brings lots of beauty and love to you all.

Hello 2013

We welcomed 2013 surrounded by friends and family, and have been on the go ever since. Our 2012 was such a beautiful year of growth, adventure, travel, updates, and changes, with plenty of family time and friendships. It was definitely a favorite year for me. And now as we have just started 2013, I welcome it all! Looking forward to more growth, new adventures, evolving design, and fun opportunities. Our first week was full of work for something fab (official announcement soon!) and we can't wait to share our other plans for the future.

Hope that you are all enjoying the New Year.

Joy and Hope in 2012

2011 was a beautiful year of growth and love. The business is growing! The amazing people we met, shows we participated in, and friendships fostered were absolutely wonderful. I am thankful and amazed by all of it.

And I am super excited for the creative adventures and lovely inspiration that 2012 will bring.

Wishing you a new year full of joy and hope.

Happy 2011!

Wishing everyone a beautiful and sparkling New Year. Hope that 2011 brings you countless wonderful times!!
