she’s as sweet as….

I drove down to Jamestown, Rhode Island to meet the newest little redhead in town. I’m pleased to introduce baby Tupelo…

Her mom, Jennifer, and I have been friends since we were fifteen, and I am so happy for her! Jennifer and her husband David are the ridiculously talented couple behind Clancy Designs. They make amazing pieces for everyday use, as well as fine art pieces. Doesn’t everyone’s glass shelf in their kitchen look like this?

Anyway, I had big plans of doing a huge photo shoot, but then we just ended up chatting and I got to hold a sleeping baby for almost an hour, so we only got a few shots.

David requested a picture of Tupelo in his hands. If you had a dad whose hands made stuff like this,


wouldn’t you want the same??

fabulous/not-so fabulous – #3

here are some short & sweet tips from Kathy:

#1. Pack a pair of super comfy flip flops for later in the reception. I wore the J. Crew ones with an elastic strap. They were a life saver!

#2. If you’re in the Rhode Island area, I loved my florist, Jay at Golden Gate Studios.

#3. Pack one big bag with what you think you’ll need- then put someone in your wedding party in charge of it.

#4. A popular decoration at our reception was wedding photos of our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and siblings.

#5. If possible, get all of the the little stuff done two weeks before your wedding day so that you can enjoy the week leading up to it. My mom assembled a bunch of her friends, and we put all of the favors, welcome bags, bathroom baskets, and programs together two weeks before, and it was so nice not to have to worry about that stuff when people were arriving and I just wanted to spend time with them.

Thanks Kathy!!!!!!
