albert hadley

Last year we got the chance to work on a library invitation in Nashville featuring work from Albert Hadley (a Tennessean). I actually wasn't familiar with his interior design work, but once I delved in I was in awe. He designed this knock out red-lacquer library for Brooke Astor that became pretty infamous. He was full of personality and loved pattern & color. Anyway, I went back to the invitation after I saw this write up on Interior Canvas (a very cool blog about all things interior design in Nashville). The Antiques & Garden show is doing a tribute to Albert Hadley this year. Looks like a great show - very colorful, just like the Mr. Hadley.

nashville bachelorette party

Nashville is on fire lately. Just check this New York Times article. There's even a little network TV show that has everyone buzzing about. Well, a friend of ours in Greenville called us up because she's throwing her little sister a bachelorette in Music City. Who can you resist the honky tonks, karaoke, boots, and country drawl of downtown? Not us darling!

holiday moving announcement

The holiday season is well behind us now, but I never got around to sharing my personal holiday card/moving announcement. I'd been thinking about doing a moving card ever since we moved to Dallas - it only took me a year to actually do it. Procrastinate much? So, when Christmas was coming I rolled it all into one and figured I'd do something a little extra special. My husband painted the flags to symbolize all the places we've lived lately and then I used some of Currier's special painting details as borders. A little labor intensive tying all the cards together, but hopefully as fun to get in the mail as it was to make 'em!
