Monday's Inspiration!
One of my all time favorite lines from one of my all time favorite songs:

Sorry for being so m.i.a., Folio Love is finally done and it was amazing! So happy that everything turned out great (albeit a little rain) and that all the photographers were happy. Now I can finally get back to normal life! :)

Be True Designs on 'I love your crazy'!
Normally I don't post twice in a day, but I had to share this fun interview I did with Shannon Darrough that is featured on her blog today (you can view it here)! There were a lot of women owned blogs and designers who inspired me and made me comfortable with taking that 'next step' because I saw that they did it and I could too. I hope this little interview will be the catalyst in someone else's life to take that same leap! Thanks Shannon for the love!- e.n.h.
Be True Designs on Rustic Wedding Chic!
Well hello friends, I have decided to come rejoin you after a week or so self imposed blog vacation and labor day holiday! And lo and behold, when I returned I found a shoot I recently did with two of my favorites, Julie Roberts Photography and Ruffles and Rouge Events on Rustic Wedding Chic blog!
The original idea came from an escort card challenge but quickly grew into something way bigger! We took something that might be a little taboo like tobacco and made it into a fabulous down home wedding reception with rustic and southern charm! I think my favorite shots are of the fruit flavored drinks in the mason jars!

Here's the thing...
So I'm a little bummed. Not in my every day life, but in my creative life. You know the thing that I am currently trying to make a living off of? (I can hear my husband laughing at that). Anyways, back to me and my non creativity. I'm just in a rut. It literally hurts to be creative (Ok, that might be a little dramatic, but you get the idea).
I have a huge inspiration board in front of me every day and its not working. I have a 100+ creative wedding/party/interiors/fashion/design blogs I read daily and its not working. I have been meeting with clients who have amazing wedding and events planned and thats not even working. I think there is one thing that will jump start my mind and get me back on track. It seems so far away, but I guess it's nearer to me now then it was 10 mins ago. The cure, you ask?:
Leaving you today with umbrella in my drink wishes and toes in the sand dreams!
Brand Spotlight: Stellina
I've fallen in love with the branding for Stellina! Stellina, or 'Little Star', is a sweet and sunny gelato cafe in New York City. Fun and girly elements, a punchy pink palette and curvy vignettes, are combined with a vintage, candy-wrapper inspired pattern, clean design and coordinating typography.
Inspired by Ephemera
Sorry for the lack of posting this week, someone in town had decided to piss off mother nature and her vengeance on Knoxville caused massive power and internet outages all week. Definitely made me realize my reliance on modern technology when I had some major withdrawals from it.
So once the power and internet came back on, I started doing some research for a logo I'm working on. I've been looking into vintage ephemera. What is ephemera? Well wikipedia describes it as " transitory written and printed matter not intended to be retained or preserved. The word derives from the Greek, meaning things lasting no more than a day. Some collectible ephemera are advertising trade cards, airsickness bags, bookmarks, catalogues, greeting cards, letters, pamphlets, postcards, posters, prospectuses, stock certificates, tickets and zines."
I describe it as beautiful vintage frames, inspirations and typography!
Here's a few of my favorites:
