Outtakes

One of the challenging parts about being your own blog editor is choosing what photos to show and not to show.  ‘Outtakes’ is for all those that didn’t make the cut.

These outtakes of Hillary were part of the zine project ‘Make Do & Wed.’ This field of pampas grass was such an amazing location. I didn’t even think about the possibility of snakes until later! Click image below to enlarge.

Weddings

Bride & Maid Inspiration

I love how these two dresses are similar in style with the open back detail. Wouldn’t they look great for a simple country wedding?

More Small Scale Decorating #7

Ever since I came across the Jane Ashley wallpaper I wanted a roll or two. Unfortunately, the stores on both sides of the Atlantic couldn’t help me out. Never one to be deterred, I decided to do a scan of the printed collage wallpaper and use it in a dollhouse setting. Click image below to enlarge.

The garret room was made by Tim Hartnall. Accessories include Pottery Barn sofa covered with a white sheet using fabric stiffener, CB2 wire chairs, pine table, side piece & mirror from Carrie’s bin, mini magazines (originals sent to me by Linda were scanned to make miniatures), camera & glass vase from The Mini Merchant, Ikea striped pillows and one favor paper cup from Martha Stewart Crafts makes the perfect lamp shade.

Photo Story: Dutch Colonial Farm

My friend Margot and I went to visit this colonial era Dutch house (top left) only to find it wasn’t open. But that didn’t stop me from wandering around the property taking photos of the place which included several outer buildings.

Note- A similar Dutch home is this one built in a neighboring town.
