Weekend Recap...

Well, I had an exciting weekend.........

Finley Erin Stout

This little lady decided to arrive 3 weeks early!!!  My brand new niece just couldn't wait to meet all of us any longer!!  :)  The new family of three is doing great, despite the surprise arrival and are excited to bring their new baby home!  (Aunt Jessica may be stopping in to say HI a lot, since I work in the area next to their house all of the time!) ;)

I took some pictures of the new family of 3 in the hospital.  I love these hospital photos and think they are a must for any newborn baby.  They are so tiny and precious and they will change so quickly. These memories have to be captured and cherished forever!  Their little fingers and toes, their little yawns, and their barely opening eyes......no wonder everyone loves babies so much!!

I also had some interest on social media of my turquoise Kendra Scott earrings from the first picture, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share my new found jewelry love of ROCKSBOX!!!

I received 3 pieces of beautiful jewelry completely FREE my first month and now you can too with my coupon code JESSICABFF1060.  Visit the website at WWW.ROCKSBOX.COM.

All you have to do is sign-up, (first month is completely FREE with my coupon code) take their style survey and select 15 items that you would like to add to your Wish List, and you will recieve your RENTED jewelry.  Your pieces are on LOAN, so you can wear them as much as you want and just ship them back for free to get 3 more pieces of jewelry to wear.  Each set of jewelry is valued at an average price of $200.  If you LOVE the pieces they sent you, you can buy them at a discounted rate!  

Have a wonderful week!! 

Weekend Recap....

It was such a fun, quick weekend for us!  Unless you are in my family, you just don't understand our family weddings!!! :)  They are SO much fun!  We let our hair down, push our troubles aside for a couple of hours, celebrate the new family member joining the clan, and dance and sing until we are speechless the next day!!  There is even a little choreographed "rolling" on the dance floor for one particular song!!  ;)  But at the end of the day it's all about celebrating love!  And we all love that!

Dress is from Ann Taylor Loft.  I had quite a few compliments on it! You know how you have a "go-to" wedding reception dress.....this is mine!! :)  Hubby is looking pretty great too in his seersucker suit! 

On Sunday, it was back to work for me.  I did a little shopping for a client and checked out a new furniture outlet store in the Castleton area called Weekends Only.  As the name suggests, they are only open on the weekends -- Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

They had some fun, unique pieces that you can't find other places, which I love.  I hate when every store has the exact same thing.  It gets boring.  Because they are an outlet store, they also have some basic, cheaper looking furniture.  But their console tables, lighting, rugs, and some of their dining room tables were eclectic and wordly looking.  Great wood pieces.  Those are the items that really stood out to me and I thought were awesome!  It is hard to find big, quality pieces like this.  Prices were amazingly good.  $500-$800 for a huge console table like this is a great deal.

Obsessed with the detail of this one!  I think it was like 7' long, so you would definitely have to have the right space for this.

I left with a rug for a client, so I left happy!  This huge warehouse is full of furniture from outdoor patio furniture, bedroom suites, mattresses, dining room furniture, sofas, accent chairs, to home accessories like artwork, lighting, awesome wood cutting boards, and even Rewined Candles, which are my favorite.  

Have a good week!  

What I Did This Weekend

This weekend I attended a beautiful country, garden wedding!  I had the honor of designing and creating the wedding programs for my cousin's big day!  I was very pleased with how they turned out and received lots of compliments on them!  (Again, I made these on Power Point, friends.  Just like these and these.)  My favorite part is the antler detail I used throughout the program.

They also had some interesting wedding decor to direct traffic to the correct location!

The hay bale bride + groom was definitely a first for me!  I had never seen anything like it. But they definitely win the award for creativity and DIY skills here.

I am still loving the trend of photo booths at weddings!  It makes for such a memorable take-home gift for the guests.

Husband + I

sisters.

I have a new custom piece to refinish for a customer!  Picked up a great antique desk she has had for years and didn't know what to do with it, so now it is time for a bit of a facelift.  It will be getting painted a beautiful turquoise color, kind of like this one from my pinterest board.

I also saw that Target has some fab new furniture pieces in their Threshold line!  I am swooning over anything gold or brass right now.  Target Threshold once again knocks this one out of the park!  Love it all, but here are some of my top LOVES right now.  Did I mention these are all under $150?!?  I must  go  RUN to Target immediately!

1.  Target Threshold Iron Wire Table

2.  Target Threshold Wood and Brass Square Accent Table with Drawer

3.  Target Threshold Wood and Brass Round Accent Table with Shelf

4.  Target Threshold Wood and Brass Finish Bar Cart *my fav*

Have a great week!
