sg-desk-7snowandgraham_original sg-desk-12-snowandgraham_original sg-desk-5snowandgraham_original This is a bit early to be talking next year but I read on Twitter that RedStamp.com now has the 2010 Snow & Graham calendars available for pre-order! I am a HUGE fan and have kept each set I've bought because I'm incapable of recycling these mini works of art. I hope to be able to display them in some creative fashion someday. Ok, off to go make a pre-order!

Designed by Megan Carty, the dossiers are so prefectly executed right down to the last detail. Wishing I had an excuse to do something along these lines right about now.

Kyong & Donald’s Wedding Part IV

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
With everything else from the wedding being so amazing it's only natural that the invitations would follow suit! Designed by my friend Katie they were a wonderful mix of green, brown, cream and an elegant gold metallic. I particularly love the floral pattern that reminds me of the bridal portraits. kyong_donnie_invites_1 kyong_donnie_invites_2 kyong_donnie_invites_3 kyong_donnie_invites_5 kyong_donnie_invites_4 I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to share this amazing wedding with everyone. A BIG thank you to Kyong and Donnie and congratulations on your new life together! Also, if you're in Salt Lake City make sure to stop by Kyong's lovely store, Koo De Ker, and say hello!

More details from Kyong and Donnie's wedding to share with you! kyong_donnie_4 Kyong was kind enough to share more details about the amazing jewelry pictured above, that was loaned to her by the Royal Family of Nepal. From the bride: "The diamond and pearl jewelry set is an heirloom piece that was purchased for the family in the 1940's in Calcutta from Hamilton & Co.". I can only imagine how it must have felt to wear jewelry with such a remarkable history! kyong_donnie_5 Back tomorrow with the stationary suite from this fabulous wedding!


Kyong & Donald’s Wedding Part II

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
As promised, I'm back with some more pictures from yesterday's beautiful wedding. Kyong and Donnie were married last September at the Sundance Resort in Utah. Yesterday we got to see Kyong's stunning bridal portraits and today we get to see pictures from their wedding! Their intimate evening affair is the stuff that brides dream about and I couldn't be more excited to share these photos with you! kyong_donnie_1 I just love the simplicity of this wedding and all the little details! Also, I'm dying over the life-size initials that were designed and created by a friend as a gift! What a fantastic and unique idea! kyong_donnie_2 Sundance has to be one of the most picturesque places for a wedding! The paper globes hanging from the ceiling provide the perfect lighting to an already splendid evening. kyong_donnie_3 Custom labeled jars of homemade jam double as favors and seating cards. The gorgeous flowers adorning each of the tables were created by the brilliant Barney & Clark Designs. Back in a little bit with more details from their day!


Kyong & Donald’s Wedding Part I

Monday, June 22nd, 2009
kyong_1 kyong_3 kyong_2 kyong_4 Hello and happy summer to all of you! I thought I would take these first few days to celebrate and share one of the most stunning summer weddings I have ever seen! I couldn't be more excited that the bride and groom have agreed to share their day with all of us and I do hope you enjoy the photographs. To start, I thought I'd show the portrait shots of the absolutly stunning bride Kyong by the very talented Ian Barkley. I almost fell out of my chair when I first saw these! Every detail in these photographs is stunning to say the least! The pose, the hair, the jewelry, the chair, the wallpaper, everything... Ian's work is drool worthy and words can not describe how absolutely beautiful Kyong is! These portraits were taken at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City and Rastar Studios. The extraordinary jewels that Kyong is wearing were generously loaned from the Royal Family of Nepal. Amazing right?! Just wait until you see how ridiculously handsome the groom Donnie is! I'll be back again tomorrow with pictures from their wedding and stationary program!

Another find from Ctrl-Alt-Design was Siesta, this brilliant wall clock by Stanley Ruiz. A doily is the last thing I think of when I think timepiece, but it works so well you'd think it was the most natural idea in the world.


Drive By Sandwich

driveby_a I spotted this on The Dieline yesterday and was instantly smitten! I could care less how the sandwich tastes just give me one of those bags! Wish I could visit this sandwich-shop-on-wheels for myself but sadly they are located in Copenhagen. This charming identity and brand were designed by the talented folks at Hello Monday. Be sure to visit the Drive By site if you get a chance, sweet little flash graphics to brighten your day! Yumm!
