Turquoise and Pink: Antique Pretty Things

So when I was in 4th grade I REALLY wanted a peach and turquoise room.  Well finally my senior year of high school my mom let me paint my room a dark turquoise/hunter green and my bedding was a peach and green patterned quilt.  Do these colors "technically" match?  No...  Do I care?  Obviously not... :)  I recently paid a visit to my favorite antique shop Keil's.  Some of you may already know this, but I am obsessed with antiques....especially dishes and chunky colored depression glass.  I just can't help myself.  But I picked up a few things and wanted to share.  Enjoy!

I love big chunky pitchers...

I have a yellow one just like it....

Squeeeee!...

It's sitting pretty between our Tiffany wedding toasting flutes...

I found this set of pink depression glass plates in the bargain basement. 

I am not a pink person, I'm a red person....but these plates are GORGEOUS! 

The pattern is so chunky and....chunky....LOVE.... :)

UH I can't handle it....how flippin gorgeous is that pattern?...

Some of you are probably like "It's a plate, get over it"

You get over it....okay.... :)

Obsessed...

My china cabinet is now overflowing with antique goodness....I have no more room!

So I guess I am just going to have to get another china cabinet....right?  RIGHT!

Have a fabulous weekend!

St. Louis Newborn Photographer - Isabelle

I recently had the amazing and exciting opportunity to photograph the adorable Isabelle and her lovely family.  Isabelle was only 5 days old during her very first photo shoot, and let me just tell you....she is a natural.  My husband and I are good friends with Amy and Adam, proud parents of Isabelle.  I have known Adam since college, had the privilege of watching Adam and Amy become husband and wife, and now watch them raise their beautiful daughter.  I'm not going to lie, I did get a little teary eyed during their session.  To see them so incredibly happy and so much in love is a great thing in my book.  I am so honored to share with you their beautiful daughter Isabelle.  Enjoy!

♥ The gorgeous Isabelle ♥

Little ladybug... :)

And those widdle hands...uh...melt...

One gorgeous momma.  Amy was glowing...

And one proud Dad...you're gorgeous too Adam... ;)

Okay this is the moment when I got teary eyed....

And then laughed when Adam was trying to figure out those tiny little buttons...

Melt...

One big happy family :)

(Their dog Glenda is SUCH a good girl...she also did a great job!)

Congratulations you two!  SOOOOO happy for you both!

Pretty vintage things....

Last weekend before the "epic" snow/ice storm came, my husband and I had to take a little drive.  I decided to take my camera with me (I usually keep it in my purse anyways...you know...just in case) but on this particular day I was VERY glad I had it with me.  I kind of have an obsession (serious problem) for pretty vintage things, and I found several pretty vintage things that day.  Enjoy!

LOVE...love love love.... 

One day I will own a victorian home in Savannah, it will probably be haunted but I don't care. :)

GORGEOUS iron railing...I wanted to take it home.  :)

Then we stopped off at my FAVORITE antique shop Keil's

I had gone there the day before and had to go back to bring home some lovely dishes (will share those later) but I fell in love with this bike.  I wish I knew how to restore bikes....this one is super cute!  And only $30...

They have a lot of vintage clothing and gorgeous displays.... 

This dress made me wish I was a size 0 (not possible)..... It's SOOOOO pretty!  Uh...

Again, love their displays...

Up close and personal... ;)

Pretty pretty....

I would love to own an antique shop....but I would never sell anything....I would take it all home... :)

Have a fabulous weekend!

♥ February Special! ♥

Hi there and hello!  I just wanted to let everyone know that I am running a special for the month of February!  I would love to shout it from the roof tops and throw chocolate kisses and pretty little streamers....but I won't.  :)  So if you are getting married this is for you!  And if you know of someone who is getting married make sure to pass on the the news!  Please? :) 

Have a fabulous day!

And for those who are still digging out from the ice and snow.....it's halfway to Spring! :)

"EPIC" Snow/Ice Storm....

If you've been watching the news then you have probably heard about the "epic" snow storm that is hitting the Midwest etc.  Ice, blizzard conditions, and thunder snow....exciting stuff.  I woke up this morning and at first I was kind of disappointed.....where is the epic storm????  But then I looked closer and realized that my patio was a sheet of ice and all of the trees were dripping in ice....awesome.  So I ventured out and took some pics to capture this "epic" storm.  Enjoy!

Bring on the thunder snow... :)

Hope everyone stays safe and warm!
