It's Boat Time!

Happy Friday! This week has seriously flown by but I must say, it's been a great one. Last night we went line dancing with some friends which to my amazement was actually tons of fun! Austin doesn't really ever feel like "Texas" but we sure felt like we were in Texas last night and it was a blast. Tonight, I'm throwing a going away party for a beautiful Yogini friend of mine whose moving with her military hubby to Japan for the next three years.

I'm SO excited about Saturday because we have booked a rental boat for 5 hours with some friends of ours. So that means we'll be able to enjoy the lake all afternoon. Le sigh. It will certainly be a treat!

What are you up to this weekend?

Have a blessed and beautiful weekend!

Recent Work {Modern & Feminine Wedding Invitation}





I've been busy in the studio lately working on new designs for the shop and am fortunate to have had some lovely clients that I've created some custom work for as well. I love working with clients and collaborating on what their goal is for an event, occasion, gift, what have you and being able to make their vision come to life is so rewarding! The above is an invitation for a bride who wanted to set the tone for her wedding with a clean, modern yet pretty and feminine vibe. I had so much fun working with typography to make for a modern look. I'm happy to say I absolutely love the way they turned out and so does she.

I hope you are all having a beautiful week!

Love & Light,
Christina

Serious Chocolate Craving!


Holy CHOCOLATE!!! At the moment I'm suffering from a serious chocolate craving. It's one of those cravings where you think you might be craving something sweet but when it comes right down to it all that will quench that rich, creamy craving is non other than girls best friend, chocolate. So I decided to curb my craving by creating this grouping of delectable chocolate choices. However I think after creating the board the only thing that's going to curb this craving is the real deal. Oh my those dark cocoa brownies!!

I'm now off to the kitchen in search of chocolate!

Have a wonderful rest of your day!!

Lollia Love

Ok, so I'm a sucker for a lot of things some of which being: pretty design, the spa, beautiful packaging, natural motifs, scalloped edges, natural linen, shimmery things, paper, bubble baths.... you get the point. Well Lollia {a luxurious bath brand} combines it all! Their products take my breath away with the amazingly GOREOUS packaging and soft lovely fragrances.  I've been smitten with the brand ever since I spotted it in a boutique and few years back. So I'd thought I share the goodness with you!

New Art {Twig & Lily}



I hope everyone's having a fantastic day!

I am so thrilled to announce that in the shop today are two new 8 x 10 art prints. This marks, the beginning of a new line of
Twig & Lily mixed media inspirational home art prints. The above two pieces were created with a combination of water color, hand drawn illustration and typography. And both include sentiments that inspire me daily. I'm very excited about this new line and can't wait to see them on walls all over. Much more to come really soon. In the meantime the above two prints are available here now!
