I’m so thrilled to have my invitation work featured (twice!) in Southern Living’s wedding issue, which is on stands now. On the left there is the Border invitation, with the Eleanor invitation over on the right!

Thank you, Southern Living!!!

One last set of images from my trip last week… a random assortment of things found at my grandparents’ house.

Brendan and I have been enjoying a big pot of vegetable soup this week, topped with crumbled bacon and a little bit of sharp white cheese. There’s really nothing better in the winter than a hot bowl of soup with crusty bread (and knowing you’re getting in all your veggies, to boot). Heidi Swanson’s soup uses Indian curry powder, coconut milk, and lentils (or green split peas). Yum!

Going through old linens is one of my favorite things to do. I love the colors, textures, patterns… these are some more shots from last week at my grandparents’ house.
