Nautical Tie The Knot Table Chart
You probably all know from yesterday’s post that we’re thinking nautical these days. Elana from Melangerie sent me pictures of her nautical inspired “tie the knot” Genealogy table charts and they are fabulous. Elana is known for her innovative Genealogy charts and this new “tie the knot” chart is one of my favorites. You can check out Elana’s Genealogy charts on her Etsy site.
We’ll be back next week with a really fun behind-the-scenes vlog…

Behind the Scenes – Nautical Design
We’re designing a nautical inspired party and have rope sailor’s knots, anchors, and lighthouses on our mind. I found these adorable mini buoys at an antique shop and had to snag them. Aren’t they cute? There are so many uses for them. They can be used to decorate a summer dinner tabletop, a dessert buffet, or for decorating a house out east. Don’t these cute props make you want to plan a summer fete? Feel…

Ask Amy: The Balancing Act
I’m just back from an amazing weekend with my family in the country. It was a weekend filled with laughter, relaxation, and love. Our boys had non-stop fun with their cousins. I had quality time with my big brother and mom {so needed!} We swam and grilled pretty much the whole weekend. My husband and I never went near the computer. It was pure bliss. This was a big dichotomy to last week. Last week…

Back to the Basics: Baking
Many people get confused about whether I’m a caterer/baker or a stylist/event planner. I’m really a home baker, but a stylist for my event business. When I first started creating my dessert tables as a hobby at my own parties, I was baking, crafting, sourcing the props, and putting it all together the day of. My friends out there reading this will remember it well because I’d ask them to help out. Well, maybe I…

#2 – This was taken while propping around yesterday. We did this completely on a whim…
