Gifts for the Couple

A lot of times when couples get gifts it is usually geared towards her. So, I was delighted to find these fantastic gifts for him and her at Navy and Lavender.

{The Honeymooners gift is perfect for the couple who will be jetting on a long flight for their honeymoon. They can snuggle up in a warm blanket and amuse themselves with playing cards.}

{For the gourmet couple, this is The Perfect Mix. They will wear these lovely aprons at their first barbecue. Buen provecho!}

{After a long day, nothing is more relaxing a warm bubble bath and the soothing fragrance of lavender. So when your spouse says, "Just Calm Down," you will both be happy to.}

{The work week is over and the weekend calls for splendid weather. What better way to spend some time along than by having a Picnic in the Park? Grab this fantastic kit, your fave libation and some lovely treats and enjoy!}

{See + Feel}: Angel Sanchez - Resort 2010

Color enlivens. Whether it's in a beautiful clutch, a snazzy pump, or a brooch. But what if the boldness is in a well-sculpted, perfectly designed dress by Angel Sanchez? It then, not only enlivens, but empowers. They make you stand a bit straighter and you float into the room.

These gowns speak for themselves.

In the event that you would love to receive a congratulatory note from the President and First Lady for your wedding, do send a proper invite to:

The Honorable Barack Obama and Mrs. Obama

The White House Greetings Office, Room 39

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Washington, DC 20500

P.S. you could fax an invite but ... etiquette suggests otherwise.

Carefree Enjoyment

I find that sometimes my clients cannot let go of all the minutiae of their events and get into the spirit of the enjoying themselves. I enjoy my craft because I strive to take away that burden and let the wonderful people who cross my path truly be their own guests. Here is a tribute to letting go...

"Today"

Today I ran in the meadow like a girl. Freely.

I lay on the ground under the cloudless sky

and I felt the Earth move.

In the stillness of it all, I felt my heart beat

and my spirit soars, freely.

Leaving me on the ground, I see my spirit

take off like a butterfly and I aim

to catch it.

Today, I found myself asking me to

speak of how I see it. Life.

Uninterrupted. Free. My vision intended

Today, Tomorrow and yesterday

I should run in the meadow more often.

Lie on the damp grass and let me

speak to me. Uninterrupted.

with grace,

Happy July 4th
