Thanksgiving Must Haves

Straws | To-Go Boxes | Cake Stand | Silicon Utensils | Wreath 

To-Go Boxes | Disposable Forks | Coffee Mug | Cupcake Liners | Gold Glassware

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving- I believe these are some home essentials that are must haves around the kitchen for the Holiday.  I love these adorable to-go boxes that are perfect for family leftovers. I love the brown, white and gold color theme, so rich and Holiday-ish. I'm also a huge fan of straws and I'm diggin' the brown and white stripes. Hope you are having FUN getting ready for Thanksgiving... My family and I took a road trip today to celebrate Thanksgiving with my side of the family! My parents live in Bend, Oregon and they have over a foot of snow on the ground. It is just beautiful outside. Evan and I of course threw some snowballs at each other. (Heehee) It's almost too cold to be outside... I hope whatever plans you and your family have- that you enjoy your day off and celebrate, count your blessings and love your family! I'm thankful for YOU!! Happy Thanksgiving.

Inspired Retreats Farewell Dinner was inspired by the color Plum and Flowers everywhere! I have so much love for all the Ladies I met, as well as the ones I knew prior. Memories and Friendships to last a life time! Thanksgiving week, reminds me of all the things I'm thankful for... Thank you, Amber for hand picking each and everyone of us to attend your conference. Thank you, Emily Ley for gifting us your amazing 2016 planner. Blessed Beyond Belief! I'm super excited to be traveling to my Parents  for the Holiday. Eeeeek! I can't even wait... Happy Tuesday everyone.

Make + Take Floral Crowns

I had a blast making these adorable Floral Crowns! This would be something super FUN to do as a Family... maybe after Thanksgiving dinner- All you need is floral wire, floral tape, variety of your favorite flowers and greens. Measure your head with the floral wire and attach the wire at the exact spot where the measurement ends... Start by weaving greens around the wire to make a FULL leaved crown, attach your favorite flowers to add character. It's as easy as Pumkin Pie! I hope you are enjoying preparing for your Thanksgiving Dinner!

Hello Friends... So great to be back! Today, I wanted to share my favorite store that I buy MANY of my Holiday accessories. Tiny Prints... I have purchased our Family Christmas Cards from them for a number of years! This adorable Company has evolved and has expanded their products. I always love Tiny Prints Personalized Gift Tags as well as the Holiday Pillows. But, this year Tiny Prints add this adorable Ornament Card with a little whole punch and a ribbon! LOVE- Now if only ALL my  Family + Friends would do this... I'd be a happy camper, see photo below... This is one of my Christmas trees in my entry where I display Family + Friends Holiday cards! I've been whole punching and stringing ribbon on my Holiday Cards for years! You don't have to decorate a whole tree- just add your favorite memories on a Ornament Card and hang it on your already decorated tree. I love this idea... I might get childhood photos of Ellie and Evan and order some myself.

Let me start off by saying... I'm so sorry I haven't been posting for a couple days... My computer CRASHED! After hours of technical support and cleaning out my whole computer- I'm BACK! 

I attended this Beautiful Inspired Rustic Fall Dinner hosted by Amber Housley. 

The food and decorations were so on point for the Fall Rustic Theme. All the attendees were gifted an adorable TomKat Studio Tee-  TomKat Studio just launched a monthly subscription of these new amazing T-shirts. You register for a design and each month you will receive a newly designed  T-shirt in the mail. Wonderful dinner and GREAT company- Thank you Amber!

Fall Photoshoot

Love this little lady more than words can say! I just wanted to share with you photos from Ellie's Fall Photoshoot. Elena was the photographer from Everlasting Images. Makeup was done by Christine from Divine Complexions. These two women are so talented and amazing! Highly recommended. I love that these photos were taken just weeks ago and look how the weather has already changed!

While I was in Nashville last month, I was blessed to room with this lovely Lady... Kim- Owner and Designer of Lucy Jane Totes. Kim is such an amazing lady, Mama of two adorable twin boys. She is so talented and seriously one of the sweetest people I know. I'm thrilled to call her my "FRIEND!" We stayed up chatting late night, giggling like school girls. There is something fun about being all grown up and having a sleepover, like you're at summer camp. Lucy Jane Totes are such a great Holiday Gift to give any Friend, Sister, Teacher and Mom, They come in many color combinations. Each tote/bag is handmade- attention to detail and super high quality. Think of that someone you want to spoil this Holiday season and order soon! Happy Monday-

I love apples anytime of the year but I especially love Apples in the Fall! I love them baked in the oven and I love them raw and now in drinks... Apples are so colorful and sweet. I found these adorable photos and yummy recipe of Apple Sangria on Pizzazzerie. Courtney, used these adorable glasses and added her Sangria then topped it with thin Apples slices and a Cinnamon stick garnish.  How festive are these? I'm thinking Apple Sangria might be the drink of choice for Thanksgiving!

Whimsical Woodland Tea Party

Makeup: A Handcrafted Affair 

Boutique + Set Stylist: Maeve Vintage

DIY Headpieces: A Handcrafted Affair

Wardrobe Stylist: House Seven Design

I am super excited to share with you this adorable Whimsical Woodland Tea Party. My sweet friend Abigail from Maeve Vintage is the set designer behind this adorable Party! Maeve Vintage is a boutique that rents vintage furniture for all types of events. All the photos were talently shot by Anissa of House Seven Design. I'm obsessed with the make-up and headpieces styled by Nakia of A Handcrafted Affair... the attention to detail like the macaroons to the flowy skirts. This is the sweetie party I've seen in a long time- It makes me wish I was attending the Party! Nice work ladies... Thank you for letting me share your photoshoot- Happy Veterns Day everyone!

Tropical Flowers

Hibiscus

Bird of Paradise

Plumeria

Orchid

I had a wonderful vacation last week in Hawaii... I'm safely back at home, I've taken all the Halloween decorations down and put up over half of my Christmas decorations. We are not entertaining for Thanksgiving so I felt free to jump right to Christmas! Hee-hee... I had to share with you these amazing photos I took while in Hawaii- I was completely obsessed with Tropical Flowers while on the Island. These were a few of my favorites... Hawaii is known for their amazing colorful flowers. These beautiful, picturesque, exotic flowers are considered to be an integral part of Hawaiian culture. The locals welcome you with the leis flower or garland of orchid or plumeria, which is a beautiful, touching and unforgetttable gesture. A mild soothing fragrance and bright colors give is one of the reasons why Hawaii is called a Tropical Paradise. The offical state flower is NOT the orchid or the plumeria as some would assume but the yellow Hibiscus. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I have and wanted to send a little color and cheer your way! Thanks for reading.

Inspired Hike

While I was in Tennessee at The Inspired Retreat, a group of us Ladies took an adventure and Hiked down rough terrain, with drop offs like no other! Eeeeek- One small move and you would go tumbling down the cliff. None of us had any idea of  where this trail would end and at one point we weren't even sure it would end. I couldn't believe this trail was built into nature the way it was. The trail is part of Evins Mill historical land mark and has been there for many years. Once we got to the bottom, there was the most beautiful water fall! Definitely worth the Hike. We snapped photos and then laughed about our Hike back was ALL up hill... away we went. Mini adventures like this remind me to take risks, step out of your comfort zone and complete challenges. I had a great time and felt honored to be with such amazing ladies. Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Happy Monday-
