simplesong :: recent work

Kathryn posted photos from a recent rehearsal dinner I worked on with the lovely ladies of Ritzy Bee - who did an amazing job [as always] and photographed by Kate Headley Photography.  Here are a few of the things we created for the evening ...

That little menuy was for a mix + muddle mojito bar -- love that!  See lots more images on Snippet + Ink.

Have you seen Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams has a new site, is offering macaroon ice cream sandwiches (YUM!) and has a new cookbook? 

I just ordered some ice cream for a friend -- I'd say a pretty good gift in this summer heat, no?  I think I might need to get some for myself : ).

back from vacation

We're back from Turks + Caicos, my little sister is married, and we had a wonderfully relaxing time.  If you've never been, I highly recommend ...

 

The talented Our Labor of Love photographed the wedding .... I'll wait until the photos come back before sharing. And big thanks to Amanda, Christine, Liz, Will + Kristina for covering on the blog while I was gone.

perfect summer outfit :: liz / linda & harriett

Today, Liz of Linda & Harriet is sharing a perfect summer outfit for her and her super cute kiddo, Griffin.  I'm a long, long time fan of Liz and her design/letterpress work and so happy she's sharing a post here ....

I call it my "dream" outfit because I can only get away with wearing nice clothes when I've got a babysitter. It's also my "dream" outfit, as I only own the EmersonMade jacket. The only thing I'd add to this would be a big long necklace because, sadly, I don't wear them much anymore with sticky fingers and an open mouth close by. Griffin's choice outfit comes from the Swedish company, Polarn O. Pyret. John is teaching Griffin Swedish, so I use that as an excuse for shopping there. I really just love their affection for stripes.
