Baby Peanut will have a birthday, tomorrow Aug.19th at about 1:30pm.  We scheduled a c-section after over a week of non-productive contractions.  Our overdue little one will finally make an appearance.  Troy will be sharing details, and pictures tomorrow afternoon!

I was due last Monday... and today I'm still prego.  I hoping this slow non-progressive early labor picks up on Sunday night/Monday morning when my ob and doula are back on call.  My parents are here taking care of Emma and at least Troy and I got out last night for dinner and movie.. granted I wasn't super comfortable.  One day she will come right?!

 Summer is such a fun season, I so enjoy how the sun is always out and how nice it is to be outside all day long. I love all the summer melons that are actually affordable and delicious!  This blushing watermelon color is both fresh and chic!  It's like summer time all dressed up!  Happy Monday!

The perfect mix of blue and green!  So lovely for outdoor events, summer time affairs or coastal weddings.  It looks so fresh and clean against a pure white or blush color!

We recently got to do a letterpress print only project with the very talented Necia from Umbrella Tree Design.  I love her hand lettering, and graphic style.. to die for.  Here is some billy ball inspiration, both modern and chic!

Here is a recent letterpress custom project we did for a vineyard wedding.  I love the unique combination of light strawberry ink and deep purple.  So pretty, with lots of texture!

I've been working on getting the nursery together, which is a work in progress.  We have set up and torn down this room so many times, it's been a guest bedroom, our office, our room temporarily, a nursery countless times.. blah, blah, blah.  We choose an elephant theme centered around a children's book poem, I found in one of my dad's childhood books!  I framed it and loved the look!  Can't wait til she's here and we can actually have some real pictures of her!



 Here are the pages from the old "Golden Book" from the 1950's!
