Tablescaping & Wedding Planning

Hello! (She shouted from beneath an ever-growing pile of wedding tasks) No chance I'm digging myself out anytime soon, I'm afraid. I did, however, put together a modern tablescape for Maggie Rose last week... in honor of my sixth anniversary with Adam!

So, if you miss me... head on over! As for Shock the Bourgeois, I am more than happy to publish guest posts while I'm busy with top-secret wedding stuff. Email me your submissions!

Tablescaping: An Ode to Sunflowers

Hello friends...

With just over two months to go until my wedding, the stress has finally hit me. So much to do, and (unbelievably) so little time. For the last week I've been cranking the letterpress and assembling invitations. I've had absolutely no energy for cranking out blog posts as well!

However, today you can find me over at Maggie Rose, showing you how my dining table looked *before* it was taken over with paper and inks and snippets of this and that.

Click the picture to see my full post at Maggie Rose!

Back soon (I hope).

Tablescaping for an Impromptu Occasion

Hello my friends... I'm back from my Summer adventures and (though absolutely exhausted) eager to make up for lost time on the blog- so you, lucky readers, get two posts today! First up, you can find me at Maggie Rose with a tablescape that makes the most of an inexpensive bouquet...

My arrangement of spider mums has been an appropriately festive touch, because we have much to celebrate in the WarLock household. For one thing, today is my birthday (not that 26 merits any particular excitement), and for another... Adam and are officially married! Between those two items, I have plenty to talk about in my second post today. Check back later for some pretty pictures of our little ceremony (the "Part One" of our wedding festivities) and the lovely gift my fellow gave me today.

Tablescaping for... No Occasion at All!

Hello friends! I'm still bustling around Seattle... in fact, today I'm being bustled. I'm having my very first dress fitting! Cross your fingers that it zips, and head over to Maggie Rose to see my latest tablescape.

This week I'm using my collection of glass bottles to explore shapes and light, adding sparkle to my everyday table. Definitely a tip anyone could try at home!

Tablescaping at Mom's House

Hello friends! I've just returned from another whirlwind trip to Washington state. This time around I had a tasting, a basketball tournament, two photoshoots, and a brand new nephew- so I came home with a menu for the wedding, freckles, approximately 700 pictures, and a raging case of baby fever!

While I was home, I got to work up a tablescape with my Mom's beautiful array of dishes. Come on over to Maggie Rose and check it out!

I'll be back to regular posting tomorrow, and I've got a lot to show off: a newly blue bedroom, a totally vegan recipe, and a column concept I'm trying on...

You're Invited...

Remember that new Tablescaping column I introduced? I'm pleased to announce a change of venue: it will now be hosted at Maggie Rose! Today I'm setting the table for a summer escape, and of course you're invited. Come on over!

I'm thrilled to be contributing to my friend Maggie's beautiful blog (and I hope you'll stop by and join the party!)
