Last week I made a fresh floral wreath for my sweet grandmother’s memorial service. It was extremely easy to make and I was so happy with the beautiful outcome. I followed this tutorial found on Weddingbee. I purchased the floral foam wreath with paper mache tray at Harry’s Famous Flowers shop in Orlando. You can also purchase them on-line here. I picked up the flowers at Whole Foods and Publix. My favorite part of the wreath is the faux butterflies (I found these at Hobby Lobby for only $1.99/package). My grandmother absolutely loved watching butterflies float around her garden.

I am loving Lela Rose’s collection of bridesmaid dresses for Dessy. They are simple with subtle details that make them stunning. And the best part? They come in every hue!

This weekend I went over to Washington D.C. to visit my good friend and old college roommate, Jen. On Saturday, we went into Adams Morgan and went to Crafty Bastards 2010. We spent several hours there scouting out cool vendors and getting a head start on Christmas shopping! Below is a roundup of some of my favorite vendors from the show. {Thursday I will feature my favorite home decor vendors}

Brainstorm has awesome screen printed posters for sale. I wanted all of them!

Funky, one-of-a-kind apparel by B-Kao.

Last week I told you all about Uncommon’s custom iPhone cases. Well, as soon as I posted that blog I ordered one. I decided on a Jill Bliss illustration. Two days later, my case arrived! I absolutely love it! The image is lovely, it’s durable and it shipped pretty stink’n fast. What’s not to love?
I wanted to share some of Jill Bliss’ other illustrations with you. She has some great, super affordable prints in her Etsy shop right now.
Did you order a case last week? If so, what image did you put on it?

I have long been a fan of surface pattern design. I just love how shapes and color relate to one another over a space. I also love how surface patterns can be used everywhere– fabric, housewares, industrial products, wall coverings, bedding and more. Silvia Dekker‘s work is right up my alley. Her color choices are bright and oh-so-perfect. And it doesn’t hurt that she uses flora, fauna, and sweet animals.
Where do you like to use pattern? Bedding? Curtains? Clothing? Shoes? Anywhere else?

The very talented Myra Callan of Twigs and Honey just released a new collection! Myra made so many beautiful accessories for myself and my wedding party nearly two years ago. I am so excited to see how her work has evolved. All items shown above are part of her new collection and ship in 4 weeks. Someone please go buy the beaded lace head wrap… or I think I may!
