Inspiration: Beth Armsheimer

Oh. My. God. I am at a loss for words. No, that's not true. Several come to mind - Stunning, Amazing, WOW, Talented. I think I'll show you what I mean. Here are the awesome photos by Beth Armsheimer I stumbled across today.



I'm planning my wedding which is set for Spring '10 and looking at these images from the wedding of Leigh and Andy that Beth shot I'm so jealous. This is exactly the kind of photography style I want for mine - different, fun and totally unique.

Right now, I'm totally picturing me and mr. shopangelica in these pictures. I'll say it again - Amazing!

Happy Friday: A Gnome Hut

Hello, lovely readers! I'm so happy today is Friday. Doesn't this cute little gnome make you smile? I'm in such a good mood probably because it's the beginning to a great weekend. I thought I'd share him with you and I hope he brightens your day!

Etsy Find: The Spotted Sparrow

This cute card by The Spotted Sparrow was just added to its online shop today. It makes me smile and it's so perfect for Mother's Day! Julia of The Spotted Sparrow is an American living with her husband in Aachen, Germany. Her paper creations are vintage inspired and so adorable! I love the fact that there is a quirky and funny side to them. They really are great for any occasion. Here are a few more of my favorites.

Coveting: Floto + Warner

I want to move into this house and I haven't event seen the rest of it. The living room alone is enough to make me jealous. My catholic school upbringing taught me that to covet others' belongings (and spouses but that doesn't apply) is wrong. I know, I know. But it's hard to not want to live here. I could spend my whole days on this couch...in the winter with the fireplace going and in the summer staring out the window watching the waves crash into shore.

Happy Easter

If you celebrate Easter...I hope that you had fun egg hunting and eating chocolate bunnies. And if Easter is not part of your heritage or religious tradition, I hope your weekend was great! Here in Charlotte, the weather was gorgeous! I know a lot of people are off today for Easter Monday - not me. But that's okay. I had a great time and enjoyed my long weekend nonetheless.
