Rustic Butter & Olive Invitations...

An invitation after my own rustic chic loving heart! Coincidentally it kinda ties in with my board from yesterday, although probably a little more on the rustic side. However using the calligraphy style font on the envelope brings in a sense of elegance. Wrapped in a burlap belly band this is definitely the sort of package I'd be happy to receive in the mail!!

Board#144: Olive Elegance...

Morning all!! I know Olive is usually thought of as more of a rustic colour to use, but paired with gold it steps it up to such an elegant colour palette don't you think? And who says you can't combine a little rustic with a lot of elegance anyway? How a-maz-ing is that stunning chandelier? How would you combine both rustic and elegant elements into your event? Would you consider olive green for your wedding colour?

Board#101: An Italian Romance

As we roll into the second week of 2011 a lot of people are going to have some serious Mondayitis with their return to work today so I hope this lovely montage of Italy will have some of you dreaming the day away rather than watching the clock. I for one really wasn't ready for my husband to head back to work after a lovely week off together... and whilst I'm quite sure he's not going to be oogling over this, we do have a couple of local weekends away in the coming weeks to look forward to.
I have spent a few days over my break sorting my house, office and life to within an inch of itself.... and oh my goodness, it's addictive. Once I started on the organising, and colour coding, and labeling... I was unstoppable! Every cupboard is organised, I know where to find everything, even all our appliance manuals/warranties now have their own folder!! So yay for me... I really hope I can continue in this fashion as we get deeper into the year. I've also scheduled my week into my calender in the hope that it won't get quite as manically busy as it did towards the end of 2010, which surely can only help me provide a better and more efficient service to my clients/readers. I'm easing into it this week to ensure I have everything in place going forward... so a bit of beach time will still be in order I think!! I tell you, it was so nice to spend some days hanging out at the (still new to me) house without stepping into the office. I actually felt like I was in a holiday home in the country and had time to enjoy the house if you get what I mean. Lazing around reading, cooking... several bbq's (we've joked that we're now closed for bbq season as we've hosted so many... now we're going to sit back and wait for the return invites :-)
Anyway enough of my babble... enjoy your Monday!

Board#15: Vibrant Earth

Whilst not really a pink girl, I do like the juxtaposition of it with this earthy olive green. The olive really tones the pink down, whilst the vibrant fuchsia lifts what could be quite a drab look into a new light. I'd be doing rustic tables featuring a hopsack, twine and succulents and then pretty pretty flowers for the contrast. Does anyone else REALLY really want an artichoke wreath on their door or is it just me??
