KRUSHgraphics: Save The Dates for Emily and Isaiah

KRUSHgraphics: Save The Dates for Emily and Isaiah: After our awesome (and really wet) engagement photo session we turned one of their favorites into their Save The Date cards!

Keeping my eyes on...

I am always impressed when a band is as good live as they are on my iPod. Coldplay played a live set on the Today show this morning and I can tell you their new album sounds promising. When asked about the significance of the album name, Mylo Xyloto, they said it is yet to be determined... Either way, these guys know how to rock out and are my inspiration for the day. Be sure to check out their new album if you need some new tunes!

On a design note: loving the "happy grunge" feel they have going on for their new tour and album. Lead singer Chris Martin had paint splatters and graffiti covering his piano and duds.

Earth Friendly Wrapping!

I know it is a little early to be thinking about holiday gift giving, but these pretty "Give Wraps" can be used any time of year! Check them out here and give your gift IN a gift that can be used again and again! They come in super cute patterns too. Can't wait to start wrapping!

50 hours of burning bliss

Loving these Sydney Hale soy wax candles... and with smells like sea salt and bay rum you can't resist. Check out the other delightful scents at Sydney Hale Co. They also donate 10% of each sale to a local animal rescue organization... who doesn't love that? Enjoy!

Another fun fact: after the candle is done burning use the empty glass as a tumbler!

yummy monday

...and just because I couldn't help but post this. Ultimate swoon. I think so.

Ooooo Fall!

I love all things Fall... especially the smells. Whether it's a cider mill, the fresh scent of fallen leaves or... pumpkin muffins! Here is a delish and healthy treat to make your kitchen smell glorious (and your belly happy!) Enjoy, K
