Wow, it's been a crazy week! Last week we posted our wedding photos and I just wanted to thank you for all your sweet comments. It was exciting as our photos were featured on Design*Sponge. Thanks also to friends who mentioned or blogged our wedding: forget me knot weddings, 100 layer cake, the ardent sparrow, & you are my fave.

On Saturday we headed up north for my friend's wedding. That's where the photos above are from. Nick and I visited a cute cute store called Saffron & Genevieve, she had the best store displays and decor.

Photobucket
on Tuesday, we headed home and I kept getting lots of traffic but I had no idea where it was from. Thanks to a tweet mention, I realized oh, hello friend was named on blogger's BLOGS OF NOTE! I am so totally in awe, thank you blogger! and welcome to new friends & readers.

Lastly, thanks to Ana from In Honor of Design for featuring my brand as an example for successful branding. So honored!

Did you see Ruby's announcement video she posted last week at her blog? so cute! and have you ever had a friend who you've been telling to start a blog? Our friend Linda finally started a blog! You may remember Linda: we made her wedding invites with japanese tape & a sewing machine. Then we blogged about her bridal shower, and finally her wedding. Yea, she's been around she just didn't have a blog at the time. and now she does!

This week has been amazing and I feel so grateful and overwhelmed by your support. Thanks to everyone who takes time to leave a comment here, or just stopping by and reading my blog. I think it's time for a reader appreciation week so stay tuned for more details! (it's been over a year since I had a customer appreciation week)
oh hello

    Hello, I discovered your blog on blogs of note and I LOVE it! Super inspiring! I wish I had known about it sooner. I like the "you are loved" part of the title. My husband often says that to his students to let them know that they matter. So you've got a new follower here!

    I, too, love the part of your name that says "you are loved." I shared some links with friends on facebook to find that in the title. I really enjoyed sharing the link because I got to say to my friend, "Hello, friend, you are loved." through your blog.

    I'm a follower now because I like what I see here. Thank you!
