Pippi Joe AU
So for round two of our cute finds today, we wanted to share with you a company out of Australia called Pippi Joe. Pippi Joe sells not only super-cute bags, totes, and cards, but also custom fabrics. We included some our our fave picks. Enjoy!
Dallas Shaw rocks it.
Today we plan to post some cute finds throughout the day. We're off to a great start with Dallas Shaw's "bees knees tee." We cannot stand the cuteness that is this tee. Really. Dallas has a chill Etsy store where you can find other goodness like the fan-fave "deer doilies" we posted last week and some hipster art prints.
Here's some more info about Dallas in her own words...
I am an artist, currently residing in DE- although most of my clients live in LA and NY. I am known for my paintings. I do currently have two collections of paintings- one on custom made canvases that is bright and modern, and titled after song lyrics. Another called the Vintage collection that is on vintage wallpaper and rare textiles. I also do notecards, fashion illustrations, watercolors, and tees. You can see more of my work at dallasshaw.com. I also have a blog : dillydallas.blogspot.com where my clients can keep updated on what I am working on and what keeps me inspired.

Your perfect wedding = Montecito Farmhouse
Want a kick-ass venue for your wedding in one of the most beautiful settings in California? Umm, yeah. If you are looking for something that hasn't been done a thousand times before, than consider this location in Santa Barbara: Montecito Farmhouse. Montecito is an amazing place--one of our fave*places*ever. There is something so mellow and breath-taking about Montecito. We love heading up the 101 and driving along the coast to reach this quaint town nestled between the Pacific and the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Anyway, here's some info about this location in their own words (and of course photos!)...
Immaculate white gates swing open, welcoming you in to be swept away by the intoxicating allure of this romantic garden estate. In the glow of the Santa Barbara sun, the breathtaking beauty of this picture perfect garden takes hold and you begin to feel as if you could celebrate not just your wedding day, but an entire lifetime in this magical setting.
Nestled at the end of a quiet lane in one of the most exclusive enclaves in America, the gardens of the Montecito Farmhouse look like pages torn from a storybook. The mild Santa Barbara climate makes this garden a year round venue for a fairy tale wedding in any season. Giant trees canopy the entrance to the romantic estate and give way to a tapestry of sweeping lawns, intimate theme gardens, and a babbling brook that runs year round.
Near the entrance sits the charming Dower Cottage, which is the perfect place for the bride and her maids to dress for the ceremony. Recently used for a magazine photo shoot, its elegant country interiors are ideal for pre-ceremony photos. Lofty ceilings, antique chandeliers, a natural stone fireplace, a country kitchen and stunning bath could tempt the newly weds to spend the first night of their honeymoon here.
Slowly and seductively, the gardens of the Montecito Farmhouse are revealed in one delicious layer after another. The first theme garden that unfolds near the entrance is the Tuscan Garden. A perfect place to receive guests, this garden reads like a huge outdoor living and dining room. Glistening chandeliers hang from a stately oak that canopies the outdoor room, which is beautifully appointed with elegant yet casual furnishings. Adding to its charm, most of the year this garden is ringed with a wall of enormous pots brimming with hydrangeas.
Leaving the Tuscan Garden via stone lined paths that cross lush lawns punctuated with sparkling fountains and whimsical swings, the most expansive vista of the estate comes into view. Pristine mountains against a cerulean sky create a breathtaking silhouette. There is an abundance of space here to erect pavilions, tents, dance floors or whatever else you envision for your special day. The magnificent gardens of the Montecito Farmhouse can easily accommodate a ceremony or reception of 300 or more guests, yet it is intimate enough to wrap a warm welcome around a much smaller gathering. There is ample room for catering logistics, and the property has been designed to supply power for additional lighting and equipment.

For Like Ever Recycled Cotton Tote
$32.00
We all remember drooling over the now infamous "For Like Ever" poster when it graced the cover of Domino magazine. Well, we loved it so much we had to have it for the shop! Chester & Tracy, the clever couple also known as Village, were sweet enough to let us be one of their first & only retailers (we didn't even have to beg, but we were ready to). Now we have come together to create this fantastic, exclusive & limited edition recycled cotton tote screenprinted with the cutest phrase ever. And since it is recycled & recyclable you can keep it "For Like Ever" or recycle it when your done (but seriously, who would ever get rid of this bag?)These wont be around very long, better get em' while you can!
Props to us...
We were totally happy to pick-up the latest issue of In-Style Weddings, Spring 2009 and find a great article entitled "Project Guest List" to which Lyndsey contributed. Lyndsey worked with the author of the article to create a comprehensive guide to planning your guest list, tips on how to stay organized, and navigating the etiquette of the entire invitation process. Check it out if you are struggling on how to narrow down your list, or trying to determine the best way to approach the process.

Wedding Goodness
Parker Pfister's images are ethereal, as if they are captured scenes from a movie. Each photo resonates with a sense of romanticism and authenticity. We cannot get enough of his unique work. He is not recreating a look or style, but rather capturing each moment. Check out some of our faves below. Here is some background info on Parker in his own words. More. Later.
