After dropping off extra flowers to the lovely Jennifer Nichols along with some well-received Sugar Mama’s cupcakes [I am anything but a responsible adult around such things], her husband CJ and her took some killer pictures of the arrangement I sent her way.

Glass Jar / Hobby Lobby [holding flowers and sign]
Silver Ceramic Vase / Pottery Barn
Glass Cloche / Pottery Barn

1. I’m neck deep in getting some professional business cards done (letterpress! patterns! 220# lettra crane. delish.) and these stopped me in my tracks. I still contemplate creating a line of blind embossed cards and what not – I’m a total texture fiend and the paper they used for this is so incredible. [by Studio on Fire's blog Beast Pieces.]
