West Elm Event

Whew! I haven't posted anything in 2 weeks, but so much has been happening! Here are some photos from the West Elm/Etsy Handmade Holiday Workshop that took place on December 1st. Better late than never! It was a great event and we donated a Christmas tree complete with handmade ornaments to a local charity. The West Elm crew was wonderful, I met a lot of great people and hung out with some  fellow Etsians (see below- click on their name to check out their Etsy shops)

Next week, I will write more about a couple of weekend trips-

one to Branson, Missouri and my 50th birthday in New York City!

Pre-Wedding Photos that I Love!

Saw these wedding photos on Pinterest by Josh Elliott Photography. They capture the moment so beautifully, they bring tears to my eyes every time I look at them! The couple wanted to pray together, but stick to the tradition of not seeing each other before the wedding.

Every photograph of their special day is amazing. No words are needed. The photography unveils their a beautiful story image by image. Grab a kleenex and go here to look!

 I especially love the groom's reaction when he sees his bride for the first time!
