Future Homeowners

Here is our future place of residence! It is so precious and I can't wait to get in there and paint and decorate. It's a 2 bedroom, 1 and a half bath, with a formal living and dining room, and a den. The garage has been converted into an apartment with a full bath but no kitchen, so I'm thinking Kelly will use it as his studio. We will be making our move sometime in the middle of June. So that means I will need to be making another moving announcement. The only major things that need to happen is a fresh coat of paint in every room and to get the pink carpet in the formal living and dining room ripped up immediately and depending on what's underneath we'll either redo the wood floors and recarpet. So exciting, this is our first house!

Chelsie's Bachelorette Invitation

I started and finished this invitation today. Lots of bright colors, because it's going to be a lively time. Chelsie is the type of person who would not have wanted bras and panties drawn on this invitation, so I focused on trying out different patterns until I found the ones that fit. I can't wait to see how this turns out printed!

may thrift finds

May is a busy, busy month; as I am sure it is for any normal or abnormal person. I have weddings, end of school, end of a college course, planning vacations, starting a summer job, working on more mint&honey goods and more.

Despite this tornado, I was able to enjoy my Saturday hitting up a favorite thrift store.

I plan on turning this cute little kitchen pot into a pot for some fresh herbs. I'm so pumped about! I hope to fit rosemary, cilantro, mint and basil.

I can't decide whether to save the mushrooms, or give this letter holder a makeover.

What do you think?

Have a merry month, I will be updating with mint&honey goods as they are created.

chelsie's shower invitation

I used the colors for her wedding, even though I have a thing with yellow and blue. It was how my mom's kitchen and bedroom were decorated all throughout my growing up and I developed a disgust for it. But there is no disgust here, maybe I will have to give this color combo a second chance.

P.S. This invitation is dedicated to my purse. Without my purse there would have been no inspiration for this invite, you're the best !

mint&honey

Well.... I created a public profile on facebook for mint&honey papergoods. I halfway did it out of boredom, but in the process thought it was probably a pretty good idea since so many people I know prefer facebook to blogging. I made a temporary logo for fun, haha. I really need someone to teach me the photoshop ropes.

So, become a fan of mint&honey! Woohoo!!!

wedding map

I spent my weekend creating a map for my dear friend Chelsie's wedding that is coming up at the end of May. She wanted the map to look similar to the style of Crystal Kluge. I didn't have the fancy hand lettering and watercolor skills like her, but I managed to pull off something I think she will be happy with.
