Out of Twig

I stumbled (via the interwebs) upon the up and coming shop, Out of Twig,  in Lynchburg, VA the other day, and I am head over heals for their vintage finds and prices. I so admire new business owners and covet their courage to take on such a risky venture of having a storefront; the ladies (and gents?) seemed to do it right with both store and online. As a religious online shopper, I know I should peruse more local shops, but a few clicks and a Paypal swipe is always so tempting. How about you? Would you rather shop online or in the actual store?

Bridal shoot, or something like that.

This Saturday, my good friend and co-leader of the D.C. Many Hopes chapter, Brooke*,  is treating to me a photo session. The muse is revolving around bridal and 'trash the dress' concepts. Considering I do not have my actual wedding dress yet, I found a little something something to substitute; more on that later. These are some of my inspirations via photographer, Nishe.

oh hello Friday

I am one of those people who become annoyed with others who post 'TGIF' on the inter-webs; I'm not one to wish my life away. But, I have to tell you that I'm so delighted it's Friday. Boy and I are finally spending an evening together, and our only crucial decision is the dinner destination. Tomorrow and Sunday will bustle about as we complete our Save the Dates (more on that later) and celebrate a birthday and a wedding. 

How about a Five Things Friday? Bloggers love those, I think.

*oh I love these boots, but nuptial bills come first, I suppose. 

*did I tell you reader that this is where I'm getting married?

*last week I sent these sweet little notes to my bridesmaids. Luckily, they all said yes! 

A delightful weekend

It's really sad that I'm writing my 'over the weekend' post on Thursday, but oh well. So, over the weekend, I had the honor to stand beside two friends getting married, Lauren and Brian. It was a lovely time as friends and family from all corners gathered to celebrate them and toast to their happiness. With dinners, showers, rehearsals and the usual bridesmaid primping, I was only able to snap a few shots in the midst of a whirlwind weekend; sadly, I didn't even capture one of the couple. 

Congratulations my dear friends! I couldn't be happier for you.
