Happy Furniture
So here’s a little background to explain this non-wedding-related post:
I interned my senior year of college (Go Drake!) at Meredith Corporation, which publishes Better Homes & Gardens magazine. I worked for the Special Interest Publications division, mainly for Kitchen & Bath Ideas and it. was. awesome. I had so much fun working there! I got to help style photoshoots with the art director & choose products to feature every month – it was just a really cool place to work and for a creative person like myself, it was pretty perfect. They’d even have stock sales every few months were you could buy products used in photoshoots (that the vendor didn’t want returned) at a fraction of the cost!! Glorious.
But alas, the publications are based out of Des Moines, IA and if there was any chance of me getting out of that city, I had to do it right after I graduated. So, I came to Phoenix but still kept a catalog of vendors in my head of all the cool places I would buy things to outfit my home when I got settled. And with the fantastic Spring weather we’ve been having here, it made me think of these pieces from Archie’s Island. How fantastic is this outdoor furniture!? So cheery it makes me want to relax in the sun all day at my (imaginary) beach house, then snuggle up with a blanket & watch the sun set. I mean, their tagline is “Happy Furniture” – Agree?
I want it all!!
Feather Accent
I spotted another one of those feather accents this morning! This bride featured on the Southern Weddings blog looks beautiful with it tucked into her hair, don’t you think??

Fancy Feathers
I have a small obsession with feathers lately – those little black feathers that have the white polka dots and are just down right awesome. What are they called? Anyone know? I first fell in love when I saw these yellow shoes from J.Crew but then Abby over at Life in the Super Burbs posted these Diane von Furstenberg sandals and it confirmed my obsession.
In my hunt for more of these feathers, I came across Etsy seller, portobello, who has created these gorgeous hairpieces. Besides the mannequins kinda freaking me out, they are fabulous!

It’s A Big Day!
The Swatchbook Weddings blog turns ONE today! YEAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG!
It’s amazing how this blog has become such a part of my life over the past year. I went from posting one or two things a month – thinking WAY too much about what to write – to 20 posts a month where I just find something I like and post it! It’s been a great tool to help me start conversations with potential clients & fellow wedding professionals. Plus, blogging has manifested my previously unknown passion for Tuesdays! Everything about this has been pretty fantastic.
Ah well, happy birthday ‘ol blog – you’ve been good to me. Hope you’ve got many years ahead of you!
