A fun shot from a photo shoot I had on Tybee Island right before sunset. Have a great 4th!

This couple's real estate investment speaks to my heart .. unable to afford anything in the NYC market, they moved their home search to outside the city .. a little cottage in Sparrow Bush, NY to be exact. With a tiny renovation budget, they took to doing most of the project themselves and used sites like craigslist to furnish the house. See more here.

I've already expressed my love for the prefab weehouse, but what happens when we want to travel in style? What an investment this little guy would be...the Airstream Bambi Trailer..awesome.

One of my favorite things about Savannah is thunderstorms. Though they haven't happened enough lately (it's been hot!!), I love opening the front door and watching how intense the rain falls through the trees. Two pics I grabbed from our last downpour...

Great embroidery work by Alli Coate -- The detailing of needlework is something that I have always been in awe of. I enjoy the mix between a 2 & 3 dimensional space and richness of texture that comes foward. Alli Coate's illustrative embroidery is quite lovely.

I'm addicted to this wedding that Josh Goleman photographed..more photos on his website.

A few new lovelies I stumbled across and quickly subscribed to...

Love the graphic style and color palette of this wedding stationery by chelle paperie -- makes me miss the whole process of designing my invites this time last year :)

Darling dresses from Cabbages and Roses. There is nothing I love more than a comfy and lovely dress. Thanks to Bliss for this lovely find!

 Oh and great inspiration! My wheels are already turning on one I'd like to make for myself :)

While I'm on a "If I were..." roll.... If I had a sister, we'd probably be this awesome.
