Hamptons (I’d rather be there right now)

my brain feels something like this right now:

My internet provider was down all day yesterday, they really aggravate me.  Do they know what this does to my blood pressure when it comes back on and my inbox is flashing red warning signs due to an influx of emails that would make most want to crawl under a desk and die? 

Despite my anxiety level… two really fun things:

I challenged Snippet & Ink to "make this fabric a wedding"… and to no surprise she totally rocked it:

In her words: A slightly beachy, slightly nautical, very preppy Hamptons wedding in navy and green.

Mood: preppy seaside
Palette: navy, green, white

To my embarrassment – I had that clipping of fabric on my bulletin board because I love it – but had lost the source… anyone??

And on another Hamptons note… Absolutely Beautiful Things made my heart skip a beat when she featured this article on Steven Gambrel’s Sag Harbor cottage.  Precious is the only word that comes to mind – agree?  Snippet & Ink’s wedding could totally take place in the backyard…

Happy Birthday (again) Mom!

Beyond the Backyard 

I am daily inspired by Snippet & Ink! This girl is dripping with talent!  I’d love to send her an interior design shot or a fabric swatch and see what kind of wedding she comes up with for that space or material… I adore these collages. I also love these awkward emails I send people (Courtney and I also went thru this) – I emailed her to ask her "what do you do?  are you a wedding planner?"  This will surprise you… she’s not.  She just loves these pretties, and is stinkin’ good at pulling them together! So, Kathryn, the designer behind these collages (in my professional opinion) is a "Certified Professional Inspirational Wedding Collage Creator"  (Kathryn, you can now add CPIWCC behind your name).
