It’s a good thing I didn’t see them at the show because I probably would have bought them right up! These rings and necklace by Kiel Mead are completely charming, something about the concept and handmade aesthetic really speaks to me. Don’t forget to stop by his site, his other work is not to be missed!

I know I’ve already covered hamburger cupcakes, but Bakerella has the perfect tutorial for how to make them for Father’s Day!  The shortbread ”french fries” are brilliant and she even has a template for all the paper goods. You’ve got plenty of time so get cracking!

Some friends of ours were showing at Ctrl+Alt+Design here in Seattle on Friday night. I saw a lot of great stuff that I’ll be sharing over the next few days, first up are these crayon rings that I’m absolutely smitten with!

First of all, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Natalie from Cotton Candy for generously offering to give away one of her lovely handcrafted Camera Straps. I am so happy that so many people entered and I had so much fun reading each an every one of your responses. The winner has been randomly selected with the help of Random.org and the winner is…

Alvina T.!!!

Thanks to everyone for participating! Congratulations to Alvina T., you will be receiving an email from me soon regarding your prize. If you didn’t win but would still like to purchase a camera strap of your own you can find them in Natalie’s shop here. Also, be sure to check out her blog for more information and shop updates. Have a lovely weekend!

These have got to be some the cutest engagement photos I have ever seen! My dear friend Kathy and her fiancé Evan are getting married in less than a month. As they’ve been preparing for their destination wedding in Coronado, California they managed to squeeze in this photo shoot. This set couldn’t be more charming! Knowing how utterly sweet both Kathy and Evan are, I can honestly say that Kristy Mann of Studio Vérité Photography captured them perfectly.

Thanks so much to Kristy and Kathy & Evan for sharing your engagement photos with all of us. I can hardly wait to see how the wedding pics come out. Judging from these, they’re going to be nothing short of fantastic! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and best of luck! xoxox, Kathleen
