On Display



My mother-in-law sent me the glass jewelry box pictured above. I fell in love the idea of displaying my favorite pieces. The second picture c/o Macyray is a project I am eager to attempt. I recently bought the perfect vintage frames for this undertaking at the Pasadena Rosebowl. Stay tuned for my first DIY hanging displays.

Love Doves



One of my first jobs out of college was working as a personal assistant for a prominent Santa Barbara family. During my first week,  I was commissioned to wrapping school, where I was taught the secretes to seamless wrapping, bow assembly and crafting name tags.  I held the job for only 7 months  but the importance of presentation was ingrained in me.

Over the next several months I have four weddings and several bridal showers to attend  so I wanted to invest in a signature wrapping that would work for the various festivities. I was instantly attached to the Two Silver Dove paper pictured above. I love that it works with almost any color. I chose trendy lime green ribbon but I think it looks equally great with pinks.

Canary Yellow




Canary yellow is one of those eye catching colors that demands attention. It will surely be noticed even when worn on just your finger tips. Check out my Canary yellow pins on pinterest!
