We were excited to see Nicole of Dainty Girl feature our Coral Crush Dress in her "Long Weekend Pretty" post. She looked so fresh and summery with her flowing locks, statement jewellery and strappy flats. We love seeing our local bloggers representing local fashion! Thanks Dainty Girl.

Our relationship with learning can be a funny thing — all throughout our years in school, we crave the days where we aren't tied to dedicated class times and don't have to work on projects "just because." We yearn for real world experience and to be able to dive into our field of choice. But somewhere along the way, you start to find yourself craving new knowledge and the opportunity to hone your craft a little more. To dive into new areas of expertise and learn from the best. It all kind of comes full circle, and it's one of the reasons I love being part of workshops like The Blush Creative. ⠀
⠀
Returning on Feb 17 and 18th, it's a two day workshop for aspiring wedding artisans who are looking to gain industry insight, focus on their design skills and strengthen their business minds and souls. Hosted by @blushandbowties, @huntandgatherfloral, @scarletoneill and yours truly, we'll be settling into a weekend of hands-on learning at @album_studio_rentals, and until Nov 30th, we're offering 10% off the ticket price with the code BLUSHCREATIVE10. Email info@blushandbowties.ca to enrol and save your spot. Hope to see you there!

There are certain aspects to this whole “growing up” thing that I’m really into. Like settling into evening routines that involve a cozy sweater, glass of wine, and a new recipe — and being just as excited about that as I ever was about getting dressing up and going out on a Friday night. I now save up my spending money for pretty glassware and fancy cookbooks, looking forward to those quiet nights in, pouring over potential recipes — and yes, continuing to pour the wine. If this is what adulting means, consider me a convert! 🥂

Finally had a chance to revisit the photos we took from the wedding band workshop we took at @silversmitten and write about our experience on the blog. One of my favourite little wedding details, I absolutely love that this is now woven into our love story. And how cool is it that we get to say "I made that!" when we look at each other's rings now? Definitely one pretty special way to make a piece of jewellery just that much more special

I've indulged myself with a solid two hours of inspiration hunting and idea gathering this afternoon, coffee in hand, music on and with a total disregard for my to-do list or any sort of agenda. And you know what? It feels damn good. I'm re-inspired, re-energized and excited to plan my next creative — which is a total departure from my last tablescape, but I'm thinking a dark and moody palette would be perfect to welcome October.

Once again impressed by all the kickass creative women in Toronto after visiting the new @makelemonadeco space and hearing the story of how it came to be. Ladies, if you're looking for a shared workspace and are into colourful details and collaborative communities, this is the space for you. And don't forget to wear cute shoes, 'cos the kitchen floor is just begging for a photo...
