WEDnesday Inspiration: 06.16.2010

I mentioned that I went to two weddings this past weekend; they were both so lovely - but incredibly different. One was very traditional in the sense that it was in a church, had a large wedding party, adorable cakes on every table and an amazing reception full of dancing people. The other wedding was equally charming, but its charm came from the simplicity! The setting was our beautiful beach on Lake Michigan (it is actually really, really amazing) and the ceremony was followed by a small luncheon. I loved them both, but the beach inspired today’s post.

Froehliche Weihnachten!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! For the first time in my life, Christmas season hasn’t really felt like Christmas to me. I think that the rest of life got so crazy that it all passed me by - but here we are on Christmas Eve!

One holiday inspired thing I did find the time to do was to enter into a gift wrapping competition at the Racine Art Museum - which is one of the largest craft museums in the world. The contest was judged by world renowned children’s book illustrator, Lois Ehlert. Love her! I won the competition - with this simple little number (excuse the less-than-stellar photo:)
