BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT: mary rutledge morgan

Here are some photos of Mary Rutledge's birth announcements that I just finished. I love the picture - it is so sweet and soft and the muted colors are perfect. 

I wrote her name and initials in calligraphy and printed them on a smooth white stock. The envelopes are a shimmery cream: paper source's stardream opal paired with tiny address labels I printed myself.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

This past weekend we headed to the beach for a sun filled relaxing weekend. We had a great time with friends and I can't wait to head back. 

I enjoyed a lot of this

and spent a lot of time loving on this sweet girl

The Morgans welcomed precious Mary Rutledge about six weeks ago and brought her to the beach for her first trip away from home. She is so sweet and adorable! I just designed her baby announcements and will be sharing those this week as well. Here are a few more pictures from the weekend.

ADDITION UPDATE

About a month ago (yes, I am a procrastinator on uploading photos) I snapped a few photos while home of our family additions. Ava and chicks are doing great and I knew you all were dying to see updated photos. All, even B, are super spunky (notice Ava's tongue out in every pic and the mohawks on the chicks) and fit in perfectly on the farm at home. Here you go!

SITTING PRETTY

I am loving this meticulous display of tea cups and saucers in this kitchen (along with everything else)

And more hanging tea cups in this kitchen - love the rustic island and beams as well.

I like the concept of stacked books as a side table ... such a nifty idea for a reading nook or confined space.
