Definition Clothing
So, after lots of contemplating and wanting to do it FOREVER! My better half and I have decided to start a clothing line! I know it sounds kind of crazy but we have tons of friends and family that have been pushing us to do it because they love our stuff. We both have a background in Graphic Design, I make alot of my own clothes already... were going to be doing a lot of screen printing with a local business but eventually when we get some money in, we'd like to buy our own equipment and do it all from our garage. We can order tons of different styles of shirts, sweatshirts, underwears, sweats, bags, hats... pretty much anything our hearts desire!
So weve mocked up a few tshirt/sweatshirt designs... once we get some made we will have frriends modeling the shirts! Im pretty excited... I posted a few of our designs. Let me know what you think! |

My Ross finds...
I love Ross Dress for Less!! haha... We were out and about this weekend and found 2 of these lanterns at our local Ross for 5.99, So over the weekend we traveled down to Eugene (about an hour away) for the Bridal Showcase and hit up both Ross' down there but only found two more... Ideally I would like 2 more so I have a total of six... I want to hang them on shepherds hooks along the walkway into our reception location. Im thinking about putting red rose petals on the bottom then a candle in them. I guess I need to call around and find 2 more!! haha
In the picture... the white thing is just foam... haha |

Cupcake holder???
So, I found another killer garage sale find!!! Its a Williams/Sonoma and its adjustable so I can make the tray sit on the bottom or have the dowel to make it taller, and then there is an extra dowel and tray if I want to make it even bigger.. its perfect for our cupcakes.. or maybe to put favors on.. or flowers?? im not sure exactly what Ill use it for but I couldnt pass it up... We will most likely paint it black too.. But the lady sold it to me for 5 bucks!! It made my whole day!!! haha
Dont mind my messy table;) haha what would you ladies use it for??? Maybe you can give me some killer ideas!! |

Reception Idea
As you walk into our reception hall there is a longer narrow hallway that at the has a glass brick wall and then you can go around the wall at either end. While trying to figure out what to do at that entrance I think I like the look of having a couple long black tables in black tableclothes and having it set up like the main picture... we are using the same 3 cylinder vase set up on our tables at the reception so it will all match!
What do you ladies think?? |

An idea for you ladies!
So I came across these pictures while searching for pomander pictures and thought it was super cute... and definately a cheaper option.. so for you brides that dont want to use pomanders or flowers... or love the look of japanese lanterns... this is great!!! You can do any colors.. and hang them from shepherd hooks or the chairs. You could even light them up! Hope this idea works for some of you!!!
