Happy Friday

Happiness is just outside my window

Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?

Or is happiness a little more like knocking

On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow

Let it be, you can't make it come or go

But you are gone- not for good but for now

Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard

Happiness was never mine to hold

Careful child, light the fuse and get away

‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you

Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor

So you tell yourself, that's enough for now

Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me

Look for it, but you'll never find it all

Let it go, live your life and leave it

Then one day, wake up and she'll be home

Home, home, home

-The Fray, Happiness

I wish for...

Decorating with words is one of my favorite things to do.

Whether its with quotes or lyrics or books I just love them all.

I think theres such a good feeling when you find the perfect

quote that helps you express feelings that you may

not have been able to express yourself.

Another one of my favorite things to do is browse Anthropologie. 

One can imagine my excitement when I came across these

delightful editions of some of the most classic pieces of literature.

I've been trying to get back into reading and although this has

been a slow process, I think decorating my room with these

adorable books would help to inspire. These are definitely

being added to my "if i had alot of money" wish list.

What's your favorite thing to decorate with? 

Daydreaming...

i came across this website months ago while aimlessly wandering through the abyss that is the internet and instantly fell in love. i visited the site again today and am eager to collect miscellaneous items from my life and put my own together.

Don't hurry.

Happy Weekend

"Trust your heart"

if the seas catch fire

(and live by love

though the stars walk backward)

honour the past

but welcome the future

(and dance your death

away at the wedding)

-E.E. Cummings

Let the Countdown Begin

It's official. I just booked my flight to LA for my summer vacation.

I am very much so looking forward to 10 days on the West Coast with my loves. 

There are beaches, drinks, adventures, pictures and lots of love waiting for me there.

Express Your Love

I love this little girl with all of my heart.

I love how much she loves me too.

So Long Springtime

It's been nearly a month since I have had a moment to sit and update this lonely little blog. The past twenty two days have been a blur. I cannot even believe that tomorrow is June first. Just two days ago one of my best friends in the whole world was married. Yes, it is true, we have reached the age where are friends are going to start marrying off and starting families of their own.  I am so thrilled to have been a part of Cait and Jeff's wedding and even more excited to see where life takes them. Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Bryant!!....oops. I mean Jensen! 

Since my last post I have accomplished/completed the following...

-Designed, cut, and sewed 50 fabric flowers for Caits bachelorette weekend.

-Had verrry busy weeks at work.

-Moved out of my apartment.

-Sewed Caits birdcage veil.

-Celebrated for Caits bachelorette wtih good friends in OCNJ.

They say a pictures worth a thousand words. [I believe this 100%....thats probably why I've been researching and willing to spend massive amounts of money on a new camera.] Because of this here are the last few weeks of my life in the form of pictures.

April Showers Bring May Weddings

May is finally here and so begins the month of wedding celebrations. 

Program designing and assembling, birdcage veils, Phillies game bachelorette parties, Beach weekend bachelorette parties, favor making, tshirt making, dress fittings, rehearsal dinners....and the list goes on.  

First up, Ashley & Shawn Boyd 5.8.10

Ashley and her dad.

After being friends for five years I was lucky enough to help Ashley through her wedding planning, becoming closer and closer as the weeks went on. Dress fittings, program designing, bustling, hairstyle hunting, song choices, etc. They had a beautiful day at French Creek Country Club despite 40 mph gusts of wind, with which Ashley's veil did not agree. 

I wish Ashley and Shawn the best of luck as they start their married life together. 

Shawn, like we told you yesterday...she might be your wife now, but she will always be our girlfriend. Love you both!

Over the next few weeks I will be focusing on my prettygirl Cait Kruse's wedding. 

Since 9th grade Cait and I have been through it all. The good and the bad and here we are planning her wedding to her best friend.  I am so completely honored to be stand beside Cait on her wedding day. And I look forward to the weeks ahead where we will celebrate, laugh, cry, freak out, bake, have sleepovers and spend her last two weeks as a single woman nearly inseparable.  I love you Prettygirl!
