Intimacy and
Tenderness.
Love is trembling happiness.

Love-ly
I thought it would be nice to celebrate all things 'LOVE' on my blog this week.
Its become a bit of a yearly tradition but since Valentine's Day is 3 days away I thought, why not?  Love is a beautiful feeling!

I'm home today - I'm feeling a little under the weather so its me, a cup of weak tea and a pile of magazines.  I came across this lovely LOVE spread in
Marie Claire magazine...I enjoy fashion layouts that portray a story, a mood...emotion (with beautiful clothes too...)
Sweet.

Wedding Decor Tags...

You know I love weddings - time, patience and love is spent planning to get the details, the look and the whole day perfect!

A lovely bride-to-be, Tara,

contacted me after spotting these Poetic Gift Tags in my

Etsy Shop.

We chatted about colours, suggestions and I sourced the pretty paper she liked...

i even found a lovely vintage box to send them off in! sweet!

The Tags were for the table setting and I wish both Tara and her fiance all the very best on their special day...
