Professor Engagement Date: July 3, 2008 Wedding Date: June 2009 Venue: Red Fish Grill About Me: I’m an East Coast girl with a crafty streak who loves traveling, photography and being outdoors (barefoot, if possible). When I do have to wear shoes, I prefer Mizunos, and have worn out a few pairs running marathons. I have a thing for chai, crossword puzzles, Apples to Apples, The Office and my real-life Yorkie, Bella. My West Coast transplant, Mr. Yorkie, roots for the Buckeyes, loves baseball, and climbs mountains for fun. We’re planning a fun little seaside wedding filled with handmade details and vintage charm. I can hardly wait!

Isn’t it something how an ordinary object, when viewed in a different context, can provide an unexpected spark of wedding genius? Take this Christmas ornament from the MoMA collection, for example. Artist Eva Zeisel’s punch-hued, mouth-blown glass bell provides the perfect inspiration for these modern wedding details.

I really love the light and playful mood of this collection. It’s my first attempt ever at assembling a board! I guess it just goes to show that you never know where you’ll find that little something to kick-start your creativity… so keep your eyes peeled and mind open!

Happy holidays, hive! May they be merry and bright!
