A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with Loretta Bryan.  She is a local artist and hand-makes each bead and pieces the jewelry together by hand as well! I have got to admit, I had to try on some of the bracelets and necklaces myself. I couldn’t help it…they were just screaming to me “try me on!”.  Okay, yes, I am a dork….but I can now say I am a proud owner of a matching necklace, bracelet and earrings!  If you are interested in buying her one of a kind pieces, please email me and I will get you her contact information!  She is the sweetest lady you will ever meet!! 

Sweet Caroline is 6 weeks old and SUCH A GOOD BABY and I am sure she gets plenty of attention with having 3 older siblings!  Little Caroline was a great hat model as well. These adorable hats were provided by Nicci Lynn Handmades. Click here to find her sight on ETSY (just ask about the newborn hats). Nicci and I went to school together and she is the busy and amazingly creative mom of 4 little ones!

I love that little smile!

It was a beautiful fall day! Jessica and Joey came from Atlanta, Georgia to get married at Chimney Rock State Park.  This couple actually got married on top of the Chimney Rock which is said to have 75 mile views of Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. It was simply amazing! Jessica was such a relaxed bride and the day flowed so smoothly!  The couple also allowed a TON of time to take photos between the ceremony and reception! I can not stress how important it is to have some relaxed time as a couple to take some photos!! Here is a preview of their wedding…more to come!

Can you see the man with the bagpipes under the flag?

Well, this weekend was a great one. I was without the internet until this evening (which I guess did me some good). I wanted to share with you all some photos from Friday evening. Chris and I got all dressed up and headed to Asheville for the grand opening of “PALETTES OF PERFECTION”. It is a wedding Event and Planning Library, Boutique, and Gallery. Chris and I enjoyed seeing those that we knew and mingling with those that we just met. Here are a few photos from the evening. I just brought my little point and shoot camera (I wanted to carry a small purse for once instead of a camera bag).

The awesome band! (Swingin Richards)

Asheville Aerial Arts (All I can say is AMAZING)
