Drumroll please. It's a big week for this uber-fabulous fledgling company - Towne & Reese - because they are making their debut at ATL market and their products will be hitting stores/boutiques across the Southeast this spring! I'm excited to be partnering with them for their branding photography. Inspired by high-end looks from Anthropologie and J.Crew, but with a overall brand mission like this one - "You shouldn't have to spend a fortune to look stylish. Towne &
Reese is dedicated to designing jewelry that is fabulously fashionable
but effortlessly affordable." - what's not to be excited about?

As I said in my previous post, Todd and Reagan's deliciously Southern wedding has pretty much been the highlight of the season for me. Part of that equation was meeting so many people that just knocked my socks off! One of those people was miss Joni Lay, the very lovely and talented creator/owner of The Chocolate Butterbean. Oh, see... isn't she just charming?!?

Be sure to check out her site and her BLOG today for lots of fun goodies from the wedding. I didn't even have to put together a collage of my photos because she already did it for me. See, this gal is truly fabulous.
So when I got home from the wedding and was busy chatting Ross' ear off about how over-the-moon amazing everyone and everything was... I pulled up some of Joni's work.... and ka-BOOM!! We were inspired with one of our greatest ideas yet. Stick with me here. One of our life dreams is to have our own barn/farm/ranch one day so that Ross can have his cows and I can have a horse or 2. Sooooo, we decided to have Joni design a sign that we will hang in our house for now, but the goal is to eventually hang it in our barn. It will be our little reminder about what we are working towards. And I'm about to jump out of my skin with excitement over this sign!
So one day I'll get to look out my window and see little guys like this, that will make me smile.
And Ross can look at little guys like this... and smile.

And a modest little property, something like this. Heh. heh. (Image courtesy of Farm and Ranch)

Sigh. Someday. So there is our little dream.
And you better believe that I'll share photos just as soon as I get my hands on the glorious masterpiece that I know Joni will create for us!!!

- As I mentioned last week, I collaborated for the first time with talented jewelry designer Rebecca Davis of Spencer Morgan Designs. I adore her work! It was fun to bring these lovely pieces to life. Well, let's be honest... plunk me down in an overgrown field with some old fence, random barns, my camera... and I'm a happy girl.
- Anyways, back to Becca, she makes handmade affordable one-of-a-kind trendy jewelry, and specializes in custom designs and updating old family pieces for a modern look.
- If you are in Charlotte you can see her goodies in person at the Pink Hanger boutique.
And.... if you are interested in hosting a trunk show feel free to contact Rebecca at rebecca@spencermorgandesigns.com ENJOY!
