a ranch shoot

americana photoshoot by la vida creations

I had so much fun styling this photoshoot with La Vida Creations photography and Taylored Occasions. We were even featured on Style Me Pretty on Monday! The wedding shoot had an Americana theme just in time for the Fourth of July. I can’t wait to work with this talented group again.

My favorite scene was the horse wall (top photo) the horses were used in lieu of a placecard table. We also had a ton of fun with desserts and the cute animals at The Condor’s Nest Ranch.

all the pretty flowers

I found this old Anthropologie catalog on my desk yesterday when I was cleaning out some files. Stunning background with a beautiful dress… I think I kept it around for a reason.

lonely palms

Yesterday, I took a nice long photo walk after lunch. I took about sixty shots during my walk but this was the only one that I ended up liking. These palms look quite lonely in that big bright sky, but at least they have each other.

here comes the sun

I have been working day and night to prepare for the launch of my online shop at Poppytalk. The summer handmade market went live today and includes these handmade papier-mache balloons that I have been working on. Take a peek and check out all of the other amazing vendors at Poppytalk Handmade.

Custom colors & painting available, email me hello [at] mintedconditon [dot] com if you are interested in a custom one!

featherweight

Vintage Collective has spent a great amount of time to scan their personal collection of vintage typography & calligraphy and load it up on flickr. This is my new favorite photostream for inspiration. I am especially loving these calligraphy feathers today!

happy happy doughnut day

Not only is it Friday, but it’s also National Doughnut Day. Rumor has it all of the major chains are giving out free doughnuts. Why are you still reading this? You should be on your way to the nearest Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts!
