The Domestic Santa-Barbarian

Some of you know my lovely neighbor Teresa. We met when Dana and I moved into what is now dubbed Bear Cat Manor and hit it off from the start. T is equal parts sweet, funny, talented, smart and dorky... a great combination to find in a friend! I wanted to share her hilarious ponderings with you in the form of her new blog- The Domestic Barbarian. Check it out. It is sure to make you giggle. This post in particular about her and her fantastical hubs Gavin's honeymoon planning made me laugh out loud. I can definitely relate.

Young Hearts Photography

I'd like to introduce you all to Young Hearts Photography... the new photography business of two of my very favorite people, Dana Solomon & Mollie Crutcher.  

Gorgeous, right? I love their light and airy style and the way they use a variety of digital and lo fi cameras when shooting... all of the things I looked for when booking my own wedding photographer a couple months back.  

To book Young Hearts for your wedding, engagement shoot, family portrait session, or any special moment you want captured on film, visit www.youngheartsphoto.com. They're offering insanely low prices right now, so take advantage before they are completely booked up!

I Love Olive Manna

It's official. I am manic over Olive Manna. This sweet papergoods and packaging shop makes me swoon. It's amazing I haven't purchased everything in their cute online shop for my own new Etsy shop, DearEmmie (coming soon!!)

Check out some of these pics, and I'm sure you will be equally smitten with Olive Manna's simple and elegant products.

I'm Not Dead!

 

Sorry to all my lovely friends and family who have called me over the last week only to find me M.I.A.! I've been racing around trying to get my newest venture, DearEmmie off the ground! And I am pleased to announce, today was the official opening of the new shop!! Hooray! 

As many of you know, the idea to start a new paper goods shop has been in the making for a while. A lot of careful planning and creating went into making it happen, and as of today, all of the DearEmmie ducks finally got into a row :)

More prints will go up in the shop over the next week, but for now, I will leave you with the first three prints to make a debut:

And a special thanks to Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros for letting me use their sweet and poignant lyrics from the song "Home." For those of you who aren't familiar with their music, they are some talented folks. Also, they put on a mean mean live show.

Cheers!

Too cool... A hand-drawn, paper-cut map of San Francisco. I think I see my favorite restaurant to get clam chowder in a bread bowl- Bistro Boudin!
