Color Crave: Shades of Beige & Soft White

Wow, what a week it has been so far!  How has your week been going loves?

I attended the Rue Magazine Anniversary party on Monday night in San Francisco.  Yippee - had such an amazing time.  And was OVER THE MOON that I had the opportunity to meet Cassandra of Coco + Kelley, Anne of City Sage and Crystal of Plush Palate - and all Rue girls!  I also had the chance to meet the ever so stylish and fashionable Blair of Atlantic-Pacific too ;-)  All such lovely people...so kind and friendly and fashionable!  Oh, and the Niman Ranch sliders that they were offering up on the food truck were mighty tasty treats.  So thank you Rue for such a wonderful night.

Last night I spent the entire night working on projects, ideas, and a lot of behind the scene things like editing pictures and whatnot for Over The Moon Vintage Rentals' inventory page - along with taking care of some office stuff as well...so a super-duper productive night for me!  But I have to admit that I will be soooo tickled when all of my inventory is up on OTMVR's site.  I can handle adding a handful of new pieces each week, but trying to get all the inventory added is a heck of a lot of work and fairly time consuming ;-)  I miss filling my free time looking at blogs and making comments...as now all my free time is running to my storage unit, taking pictures, editing pictures, uploading pictures, yada, yada, yada...hehe!  However, that will hopefully change some time soon, and I will be back to commenting as usual...so bear with me a while longer please.  

So lots has been happening around here, and when that happens I crave light and calm colors like these lovely shades of beige and soft white... 

I cannot tell you how much I ADORE the roll of kraft paper with table numbers and names!  Such a fabulous escort area, no?  And to be honest - I would love to have a couple rolls...to really make a statement ;-)

Sweet simplicity...

With a little vintage...

And a little flag...

It's funny when life gets busy, I always want to surround myself in a clean, barely there palette!  It's like I have had enough busy, don't need anymore busy added to the mix with color...am I the only one that feels this way?  Probably, but then that just makes me...me ;-)

Check back tomorrow morning loves when I show you how to recreate this 'Color Crave' - yay, it's gonna be fun!

And a little side note to my niece, Madi Grace, who lost her first tooth yesterday - I hope the Tooth Fairy was extra good to you ;-)))  Love, xoxo's, sniffs and smoochies to the moon and back babygirl!

Color Crave: Earthy Green & Crisp White

Good morning darlings!  I just can't seem to be getting enough of green and white these days!  Especially with a side of brown and a hint of purple.  Don't you find yourself craving one color one day, and another color on another day?  Or sometimes for weeks or even longer?  I do...and it seems like it changes on a daily or weekly basis for me.  It's like I am craving these colors...if that's possible ;-)   Hence the title of this post ;-)  And I have decided to start a new series...which I think you might like! 

Anyhoo, I think I am going to have to do a display at the Inspired Collective in earthy greens and crisp white soon...hmm, sounds like a good plan, no?  I really love the natural and rusticness of the details here...paired with the crisp white linens, it makes for a look that I ADORE...and what I would call naturally beautiful!   I love the simple display of appetizers...

A fabulously earthy centerpiece that looks like it was just plucked from the garden, and some DARLING placecard holders...

And a couple branches to have guests hang wishes from, or can be used for an escort area...

All in a clean and crisp palette that still has some warmth and rustic vintage touches.  This is me defined I think.  Oh add a bit of glam in there and then it is ;-)  Well at least for today...because I will probably change my mind tomorrow...hehe ;-)  Hey, you all know how I LOVE options! 

Okay...I am off for a bit to finish up editing and writing my Handcrafted post that is coming up soon!  So check back around 10 am, and I will have some purple and gold inspiration for you ;-)
