bakers twine..i love this stuff!  and finally found it in brown (i love red it’s just not a very ‘melanie’ color).  can you feel me rushing so i can hop over to favors and flowers so i can order some right now? stay tuned, i’m going to be posting ‘gorgeous lisa’ + steele’s wedding shortly (we involuntarily always add gorgeous whenever we’re speaking of her). -m-

hello again!!

Natbridge_snow_1
happy new year!!  what a fantastic little break…and lots of great stuff happened so I’ll post photos in the coming weeks.  i wanted to share this image of Natural Bridge from Kentucky Wide by Jeff Rogers (he is the great photographer i interned with) and he mentioned that he’d be happy to sign them if they were ordered and picked up at his studio (by appt).  i know the holidays are over but i think this would make a phenomenal gift…i already have plans for at least three!  thank you so so much for all the sweet holiday cards…i love the updates!  warmly, -melanie-

happy birthday to…

question: what’s better than a super great photo of someone you love?

answer: cassidy!

not only is she more like me than anyone i’ve ever met, she’s superdedicated, a great problem-solver and her efficiency makes me smile from ear to ear on a regular basis

mmp loves cassidy dawn hall.

she started 2 and a half years ago as an intern, and thankfully, has let me keep coming up with reasons why I can’t live without her. 

happy birthday, cassidy!  -m-
