Today in the middle of a bunch of not-so-exciting work, I had a few minutes to create a large-scale sign for our college's Alumni Tailgate! First I selected a font at random to test the spacing and printing quality, which is the bottom right picture. Then, I picked some fun fonts and went to town! I like the top left option best but when I  attached all of the options in an email to my boss, I accidently included the spacing sample! That's the image she chose to use! No fun! Nonetheless, it was fun to do something creative for a few minutes!

 

Another Kindergarden Dress for the Collection

So I Hear Teal is In

I have gotten more compliments in the last few weeks over this dress.... It was somewhat of a risk, to be honest. As is with most of the dresses I buy at the Thrift Store, this $5 purchase was just barely past my ankles. Now, a few snips later, it is a comfy summer pullover. I'm not sure why I'm rebelling against hemming my dresses lately....

So I Hear Seafoam Green is In

 This Indian seafoam green dress was a steal! A couple bucks at the Thrift Store, a little shortening and hemming... bada bing. My new fave.

Kate + Ty Get Hitched

The Goodbar Wedding was a sight to see. Throughout my senior year at college, Katie (who I call Bean) was my roommate, snuggle buddy & best friend, along with 3 other wonderful girls in Athens. Conveniently, Ty was also a dear, dear friend & the roommate of my boyfriend at the time. So, of course, helping the Goodbars get ready for their wedding was something I really looked forward to. On the day of the wedding I joined hands with another good friend, Cinelle and battled the July heat for one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever attended.  Between arranging flowers & haystacks, we transformed Katie's old family barn into an enchanted evening. We covered all of the cakes in flowers & filled old bathtubs with ice for vintage coolers. In just a few hours the barn was strung with mason jar lanterns, white Christmas lights & colorful banners, the door hung with a handmade monogram wreath & the white tent out back packed with old family photographs. The night was absolutely beautiful. 

From Omish Dress to Easy Summer Shirt

Last week this top was a $1, floor length dress at the Thrift Store. Today it is one of my most comfortable summer shirts. I cut off the dress to the desired length and let the ends fray a little but... I'm starting to think it would be cute if I put elastic at the bottom instead. What do you think? 

On a summer morning when the heat is almost unbearable, this is exactly what I want to be putting on. Add some strappy sandels, a cute, long necklace & we're good to go!

Selah Rain's Pom Pom Necklace

She may be just a baby but one thing is for sure about my pup, she loves a little glamor. Today I made Rain this pom pom necklace for her photo shoot with one of our students, Trinity Stennfeld. Just a little pop of visual interest for the camera.... & all of the aww-ing onlookers across the University quad.
