Even though I tried not to get wrapped up in all the wedding planning hullabaloo, every decision felt important because it was all part of the greater design of the day. So between choosing a venue, designing the invitations, planning the schedule, picking the dress, choosing our photographer, and so much more, my mind was in overdrive for about a year.
But like most people tell you, it was all worth it. Because now we have this beautiful memory that Inna and Constantine of Peach Plum Pear Photo captured beyond my expectations. (And that, my friends, is not easy to do.) So I cannot say enough good things about them. They were so easy and fun to work with. And the photos feel natural, beautiful, but most importantly, they feel like us! They are everything I hoped for and easily one of the best decisions we made.
So below are my Top Ten photos. And they were not easy to narrow down! Enjoy and Happy Friday!
Enjoy Each Day
Posted: February 5, 2015 Filed under: Color, Creativity, Design, Home, Life, Life Lessons, Minted, Photography, Typography | Tags: art prints, enjoy each day, hand-drawn, hand-written, handwriting, illustration 2 CommentsEvery Christmas, I receive a nice hand-written card from my aunt who lives in California. This year, she signed the card, “Enjoy each day.” I thought it was a simple and beautiful message, and I wanted to keep it as an everyday reminder. However, I knew the card would inevitably get lost in the sea of correspondence I’ve been saving since high school. So, I photographed her handwriting, blew it up, and created this print. Look, Aunt Mary Pat, you’re an artist!
I also entered this print into the Three Cheers! Minted x West Elm’s 3rd Art Challenge. So if you want to see it for sale at West Elm, click here to vote. And as always, thank you!

The Color of Winter
Posted: March 6, 2014 Filed under: Color, Design, Photography, Quote, Typography | Tags: Terri Guillemets, winter Leave a commentThere’s a lot of hate for winter, isn’t there? But I don’t really mind it. In my opinion, it’s a great time to get comfy, catch up on TV, drink hot toddies, sled, snowboard and chit-chat by the fire. And of course, the design-a-holic in me thinks it’s a great time to get some work done.
I guess you could say I think winter is a little under-appreciated. So to show it some appreciation, I created the little ode below with a photo I took in Schwenksville, PA and a quote by Terri Guillemets. Enjoy!
Colors of Peru
