What a gem I’ve found in today’s ETSY Tuesday feature! Le Papier Studio and Paloma’s Nest have teamed up to bring us these beautiful hand painted silhouette ornaments. The ornaments are made by Paloma’s Nest, and then the silhouettes are hand painted on by Le Papier Studio’s...and wow, what a finished product! I’ve always had a love for silhouettes from seeing my Mom wear her Cameo broach with the image of a beautiful woman on it for years.
“Each ornament is crafted by hand by Paloma’s Nest utilizing fine pure white clay which has been fired and then finished with a special protective surface treatment. Silhouettes are hand painted to perfection with the finest black ceramic paint.”
What a great gift these would be for any friend or family member who has children. Silhouette’s add a bit of vintage and charm to any room, and would bring back that “old-timey” feeling to your Christmas Tree.
Visit Le Papier Studio to get more details on these handmade beauties and how to get one for you or a friend this holiday season!

This fun paper flower project comes from the creative minds over at Project Wedding. I love the different ideas they have for using these blooms and without a doubt they will add a touch of whimsy to your event.
“We love things that can do double-duty, and these adorable paper flowers do just that and then some: they’re seating cards, centerpieces, and favors! These pretty blooms are perfect for a whimsical wedding, a bridal luncheon or shower, and can be made in any color.”
You will find out where to get your supplies, kits and more how to’s on their blog here. Get started!

I have the honor of announcing the birth of our God Daughter, Gianna LaRusso Lopez!
Date: 7/15/2009
Weight: 6 lbs. 13 oz.
Watching your best friend, you’ve known since you were 15 give birth is up there with top life experiences. I was somewhat worried when Angela asked me to take the photos of her birth, but I said “yes” knowing that it was about the baby...not my fear of scary stuff! It ended up being way more normal and calm than I could have imagined. The look on everyone’s face when we finally got to see Gianna was priceless.
I will NEVER forget this experience. And when Gianna grows up, I can say “I was there when you were born.”

This weekend one of my best friend’s in the world, Angela, is getting her much deserved baby shower. It is going to be black and red, ladybug themed. For as long as I can remember Angela has had a fascination with ladybugs, and how perfect for her sweet baby girl Gianna. I have known Angela for so so long, and am SO excited to meet her and her husband Jebo’s baby girl Gianna.
This weekend will be so much fun. I am going to be taking all of the photos, as well as contributing some things along with her Mom and friend Paul. It is sure to be a fab event, considering her Mom is a professional caterer, and I hear Paul is one amazing partay planner.
Love you Ang!

I thought these cufflinks that I found through uncrate were a really neat and different gift. Father’s day is just around the corner, and what an awesome gift these would be, right?
