This week has been a blur. It starred off celebrating the fourth of July in a rental car. Drove up to Michigan for my grandmother’s funeral (we were in Michigan for less than 24 hrs!). Fortunately on the way up, one of my besties lives right on our route in Cincinnati. We were able to [...]
I hope your holiday is filled with sun, BBQ and quality time with those you love. Today we celebrate the freedom we have in this country, the civil liberties many have fought for. Freedom is a gift of great value. We so easily can take advantage of it and forget it’s cost. As a follower of [...]
I can’t believe it’s Wednesday again!! Summer is truly FLYING by!!! It’s exciting though… I’ve been diving into lots of new projects and on the brink of lots of new changes. Working smarter, not harder is my anthem! haha! I have a wonderful intern and she makes my heart happy. Today she stumbled across my [...]
I wanted to moment to give a little shout out to Justina (J-Rae is her nickname). As you may know, she’s my sister and the mother to my gorgeous niece, but what you may not know is how she’s been a HUGE help to Julia’s Poppies. Justina has faithfully worked as my project manager (amongst her other responsibilities) [...]
This past week my friend and fellow creative, Kelly Hicks was in town for work. We got to hang out a few times and it was so wonderful to talk “shop” (work) and just life. If you follow her blog, you know she’s a complete gem!! When I lived in Tucson, she lived right around [...]
I have been enjoying the weather here in Georgia. I love the heat and I have been warned about the humidity but so far, so good. The evenings are my favorite part of the day… dusk is so romantic with the last rays of sunlight dancing through the tree. It makes me smile. The beauty [...]
I hit a wall and needed to take a break this afternoon and gain fresh perspective…trying to look at my project from a new lens if you will (and yes, the pun was def intended). Working from my bedroom, I snapped some pics of objects that I see everyday and the creative juices were flowing [...]
On Monday I played tourist with Roxy. We checked out Centennial Park, went to the World of Coke and explored Midtown. I’m still (kinda) new to Atlanta, so I got to play tourist. It was a perfect way to spend Memorial Day. We had lunch at Yeah! Burger… it was delicious!! I’m wearing… Urban Renewal Dress [...]
I’ve been a little MIA last week….swamped with deadlines and then a fun, holiday weekend visit from this girl. It was wonderful to visit and explore new places in and around Atlanta. Roxy is my dear college friend, old roommate and go-to girl for adventure or spontaneous dance parties. Here are some pics of Roxy [...]
I have to say it again… Fancy really is just too cute! Her little boy, Asher, will be here in the next few weeks and she couldn’t be more excited to be a mother. I mean, look at that smile…pure joy and anticipation!!! Here are some of my favorite shots from our little shoot. The [...]
She may only be seven month old, but Hadley Brooke has got what it takes!! She can already command a room. Not to mention those eyes, lips, and pudgy thighs…. she’s everything you want in a baby. haha. But seriously, how beautiful is she?!? My dear friends, Heather and Dan, are some blessed parents (and [...]
Bonjour! There is nothing like the smell of homemade bread baking! This week my sister made a couple loafs with my mom’s amazing french bread recipe. Yesterday, I put the bread to good use and made a yummy brunch… french toast with cinnamon and vanilla, topped with banana and agave. I added some sausage to [...]
“What is that?” That’s what my sister asked when I showed her this picture of my breakfast. Yes, I guess all up-close it does look pretty strange… well maybe even further away. I was inspired to have quinoa for breakfast after reading Joy the Baker‘s recipe (she’s my favorite food blogger!!). I had never thought [...]
First of all, “Fancy” is such a fun name and it totally suites this lady! She’s having her first baby (a boy!) next month. We took a few pictures of her before little Asher arrives. Here are a couple of the shots… more to come once I go through them. Meet Charley. You may remember [...]
I am refreshed and oh so ALIVE! ha. My getaway last week was wonderful…and I will be sure to share some of the highlights. Along the beach there were beautiful, multimillion dollar homes; however, this modern, little treat was my favorite. It was complete with a little VW bus parked underneath it. Can you image [...]
I’m still in North Carolina at the beach. This weather is gearing me up for summer…sundresses, shorts, etc. I have thoroughly enjoyed this trip… long runs on the beach, reading in the sun, eating and cooking some delish food…perfect! Sage and I took a little stroll this evening. I gave her a little camera tutorial [...]
This week I am on a working vacation (if there is such a thing) in North Carolina. I can’t quite justify a spring break, but I am more than happy to enjoy a change of scenery and soak up some rays. The wind is pretty fierce, but so refreshing! I haven’t been to the beach [...]
A stack of these invitations are currently sitting on my desk…. speaking to me. Well, maybe not speaking. Inspiring rather. I rummaged through my (very disorganized) jewelry box and found some necklaces with the southwest color palette. This goes out to Arizona… this week I am missing the sun! White Tee | my brother-in-law’s (clean) [...]
It’s Monday and here’s a brief peek at what I’m up to… Eating: Frozen blueberries… like they are going out of business! Drinking: Kombucha Tea… I bottled a bunch this weekend. mmm…so good. Designing: Cute t-shirts, album layouts and wedding suites. Watching: My niece. She’s been sooo smiley lately and I love it. Dreaming of: [...]
