Amelie's French Bake Shop

This venue was adorable and perfect for a small gathering of friends!  I foresee some wedding or baby showers in my future at this place - LOVE IT!

The room was fun, colorful and romantic!  I really love this space and it was absolutely perfect for Krissy's style.

Vendor Spotlight {Bella Originals}

Meet Elizabeth Cannon!!  My dear friend and Jewelry Artist Extraordinaire!

Above is the Bella Originals namesake her self - Bella!

Bella Originals is owned by Elizabeth Cannon.  She has been lucky enough to turn her passion for creating beautiful things into a small but very successful jewelry business.  

Until recently, most everything featured lampwork glass beads that she makes herself.  Vintage is her current fascination, and if it sparkles, even better! She spends most days scouring flea markets, eBay, estate sales, and the attics of friends and family for interesting bits and baubles that look like they're ready for a second life. With some creative rearranging and the addition of brass-set crystals, these discarded pieces are transformed into show-stopping, one-of-a-kind rings, bracelets, and necklaces.  Check out some of her latest creations!  As Elizabegth says... Want it, Love it, Have it!

Looking for bridesmaids gifts, birthday presents or just want a statement piece for yourself?  Then check out what's in stock at Bella Original's today!  Elizabeth will also create custom jewelry as well, reach out today to have your vision brought to life!

This is a great drink to serve on Halloween. First, pour the peach schnapps. Then, slowly pour the Irish Creme. Do not mix! The Creme will clump together and settle at the bottom of the schnapps. It will have the appearance of an internal organ!! Pour the grenadine over the Creme for a completely disgusting looking, yet thoroughly tasty party drink!

Enter into Fall

A warm entrance to your home is the perfect welcome to all of your holiday festivities!  Nothing beats the smell of pumpkin spice and the warm glow of rust colored candles in the fall to make your home feel warm and cozy.  Get those pumpkins, twigs and bales of hay out... cause we are going to decorate your porch, stoop or door today!  No matter how small the entrance, you can bring a touch of fall to your home with ease.  The best part is - this decor lasts until Thanksgiving!



My Favorite!  Pumpkin carving is out - painting is in!





I love how they use hay to bring height to the pumpkins.

  



Nothing beats rocking chairs on the front porch!



Tailgating in the South

Fall is in the air and football season is well in swing. College games on Saturday and NFL on Sunday provides us plenty of opportunity to hang with friends, grill your favorite grub and sip on afternoon cocktails.  Here are a few reminders of our favorite Fall pastime... TAILGATING! 

And two of my favorite Sunday Funday drinks... Cheers!
