Just Pretty Things

Hello everyone! It's been a minute since I've been on here. First of all, sorry for the amount of slacking I did last week. I didn't post your Friday links or Saturday hand lettering! I don't have any excuse except for that it was my first week back home, finally, and I didn't really want to do anything except for enjoy being home. And after being in a place that wasn't home for 8 months, I'm sure you can understand my reasoning. ;)

A couple things have happened since I last posted. First of all, we finally got to book our venue for our wedding and have a wedding date set! August 9, 2014... here we come! :) I cannot wait. I'm so glad that we finally got to book the venue and we can really get started on making plans. I also found a photographer whose work I really like that is in a very reasonable price range, and I'll hopefully be meeting with her soon so we can book her as well! It was so refreshing to find someone who does lovely work who doesn't expect an arm and a leg for payment. I understand that creative fields should yield higher pay rates sometimes, especially more than they're used to, but still... it was disheartening to constantly look for a photographer who had work that fit my style only to find out they wanted thousands and thousands of dollars that we just don't have. So fingers crossed this works out!

Also, I'm happy to announce that I am an aunt to a new baby boy! My sister gave birth to him yesterday morning and I got to meet him last night. He was so sweet and so sleepy. It was nice to be able to see my sister and brother-in-law also for the first time since being home, and my new nephew was also a lovely little present.

Without further ado, here are this week's pretty picks. I hope you find some inspiration amongst them. :)
