Nope - it isn't root beer! But it is delicious!!!
ROOT is a bourbon-like drink that is the creation of the very talented group Art in the Age. Marketed as the "First truly authentic American liqueur since the Pre-Prohibition Era", this stuff will really knock your socks off. (Read the full history here). Root is made from all organic ingredients (like birch bark, sassafras and nutmeg) - so stock up for the Holidays. You can go to their site and check out their bar locator (pretty handy!) OR check out some awesome recipes here. I enjoy it in some warm drinking chocolate!!!
P.S. - they also make SNAP :)

Charleston's deep red lace flows from the top of the note allowing a full name across the center of the card. Brooklyn's green geometric pattern is perfectly centered inviting a name above or below.

I am a summer baby - the idea that days filled with sunshine and temperatures in the mid 80's are no longer makes me sad... but the one thing that gets me excited about fall is pumpkins. I love to eat/bake/cook anything and everything pumpkin... and I love to go to neighborhood farms and look at all of the beautiful varieties!

One thing that caught my eye wherever I went in Rio was their unique sidewalks. Each beach town had a sidewalk in different patterns. It appears that they just took white and black tile and placed it in unusual and varying patterns.
Even throughout the streets of Rio you could find fish, tulip or flower patters. What a great way to take something so basic and make it into something so beautiful!

I am honored to have been featured this week on the well known wedding blog Style Me Pretty . I am sure you are familiar with Alison Conklin Photography and the milestone shoots she has done for my husband and I. Last May we did a newlywed session in downtown Phoenixville. This past November we just happened to schedule a session on the day we put in the bid for our first place. And here are just a few photos of us celebrating the purchase our first home "out in the country" (as our friends like to remind us).
Thanks to Cydney and her family to letting us use such a beautiful backdrop, Jess for creating the fabulous flower in my hair, and Emily of Cheekadee for making me look so beautiful!
It has been great working with Alison to help us fill our new home with milestone photos. We can't wait to photograph the next one and share it with you!

Aside from wedding and mitzvah invitations, we have been getting quite a few requests for birthday invitations this summer! Whether you are throwing a Surprise 70th for your father or planning a Girls Night Out for your sister's 40th - we have some great ideas to share! Check out this fresh color scheme of honeydew and persimmon that we used for our friend Alison Conklin's birthday invitation. Aside from the custom stamp, (always a favorite of mine) the invitation featured a black satin pull tab and ribbon band detail secured with a "30" sticker. The whimsical font chosen set the tone for this fun gathering at the melting pot! YUMM!
