spotlight: eastsix

i have been walking down memory lane after yesterday's post...

and i want to share with you another talented duo behind the graphics that were used for our wedding album cover. stacey & marina from eastsix are the wonderful designers that we worked so well together with in creating a one of a kind invite that made us squeal with happiness.  on top of their genuine friendliness, they really took the time to get to know all of our desires & crafted the most intricately detailed invite that we instantly fell in love with...

here's our invite taken from their website:

a booklet that included a perforated rsvp card & direction card!

 more of their stunning work...

 

love it all - more found here.

oh boy!

having baby K was the best thing that ever happened to me. 

and i am so excited for our good friends katie and dave who are having a baby boy in 4 weeks! 

after painting, baking, and packing my jars & platters until 3am the night before the baby shower (yes - i'm a procrastinator), i'm happy to show you a beautiful baby shower for the beautiful katie shin! 

Oh Boy! theme created by the super talented Hannah Lee

name tags - our names mysteriously turned into boy names

$12 craft: bought wooden letters at a local store (nat & helen's) & painted them blue/gray

the final result! adds character to the dessert table, no? :)

spent time separating colors from my sprinkles... oh boy!

for these rice krispies! thank you hubby for helping me dip these in chocolate!

a super talented friend of mine threw a great 30th surprise party for her hubby this past weekend.  sorah is always bursting with creative juices and it would be a shame if i didn't share her work!
