Fancy This: Handmade Engagement Party with Free Download

Victoria of City Cradle Design wrote last week to share this beautiful outdoor engagement party that she put together for a special couple. I was especially delighted to see that she use my free Creature Comforts masking tape download to add an extra touch to her project. Aren't the finished results so charming! If you'd like to create something similar, Victoria has created a free printable banner (click for download) for you (like the one seen above) that spells out "oh deer, "a love" and includes a heart symbol as well. Be sure to hop on over to City Cradle Design for more images and details on how she put together everything for this lovely celebration. xo Ez

Etsy Finds & Faves: 09. 24. 10

Helloooo lovelies! It's Friday (happy dance)! I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you. It has finally cooled down around here today and I am completely revelling in the pseudo-Fallish weather. I've been noticing loads of soft neutrals popping up in my favorites all around the web, so I thought I'd share a tiny collection of those favorites (from etsy shops) with you all today. See you next week.  xo Ez

Inspired By: Photographer Jennifer Causey

I've long been an admirer of Jennifer Causey's photographic talent. Her work has a way of calming and satisfying a person. Because of this I decided to take a little stroll through her portfolio the other day and was just as delighted as ever.

Her body of work conveys so many joyful emotions. Jennifer really knows how to capture the sprit of her subjects and make them shine. See more from Jennifer in her portfolio here. You can also find her on her charming blog: Simply Breakfast and Wedding Portfolio.
