Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the open house at Maggpie Vintage Rentals, and could have spent an entire day photographing the goodness. Housed in their amazing 3-story warehouse in Port Richmond, their massive and beautifully curated collection is a dream for any vintage lover. The best part…everything is for RENT! I discovered them last year while planning our big 1st birthday bash for Marie + Henry, and the pieces we rented truly took our party to the next level. The open house was bustling with local creatives, designers, and event planners…I loved catching up with friends + making new ones! Not to mention, I got to hangout with their sweet fur babies Henry + Marty (shown snoozing)…they worked the crowd like pros! Even if you’re not a Philly local, browsing their site will certainly inspire… check it out!

This week has been more eventful than expected…hence the lack of posts (sorry). I’m a bit buried with work, but work that I love…and some very exciting projects that I can’t wait to share with you! I’m keeping things brief today, but here are some of my favorite links from the week, including my debut over on Little Hip Squeaks! Wishing you all a lovely weekend. xo

BON WEEKEND!

Le réveillon is an intimate dinner we host every New Year’s Eve, and it is a special tradition for my family. The word “réveillon” means awakening, and I’ve always loved the concept. It’s an old French custom experiencing a resurgence-in the States for instance, you can’t escape it if visiting New Orleans during the holidays. Regardless of how you ring in the New Year, I hope to inspire your event! I was honored to have our fête featured on Camille Styles-check it out here!

wishing you all a happy new year!!

If I made a list of all the reasons why I love social media, it would be…very long, ha. However-I would be sure that the Goody Goody Gift Swap was on it! It’s a holiday giftswap for creatives-pairing random individuals from around the world…taking us out of our electronic realm for a bit.  I discovered it via instagram in November and signed up immediately to participate. As “plugged in” as we all are, some good old fashioned mail is refreshing…don’t you agree?! I made a new friend in Wisconsin, and sent the present above to her. I can’t wait to find out what she thinks, and to receive mine-FUN! Many thanks to Jenna Cantagallo for the brilliant concept! Who knows…we could be swap mates next year!
