charmed, Im sure.






hockaday hat!

I just adore the tradition of graduation Hockaday hats. If you don't know, Hockaday is an all girls prep school here in Dallas. When the ladies have their graduation ceremony they all wear a summer hat adorned with flowers and ribbon and other pretty things. (Im sure theres a lot more to this story so if you know more about the hat tradition please share!) It was a pleasure working on this hat for one of this years graduates. 
Congratulations to all the 2012 graduating classes. Summer is HERE!!!


in this hat:
sarah bernhardt peony
antique garden rose
pink pom-aster
green hydrangea
ranunculus

a gift for the guys

succulents, thistle, protea...
though I find it hard to believe that not everyone loves pretty pink flowers, its a sad, sad truth. Here's a great alternative if you'r looking for something a little more masculine or less... pretty, pink. enjoy!

This was such an exciting shoot for me for so many reasons. This was the first photo shoot to be involved with as the wooly thistle and I was was lucky enough to be working with some of my most favorite vendors! Rita of rent my dust has the coolest vintage and antique swag you can get your hands on and Natalie of n.barrett photography captures images that will melt your heart. It was also so great to work with and get to know the rest of the crew on this fun project.

...and oh my goodness!!! You have to watch this sweet video made by Allen Peck! Take a glimpse into the private ranch where we all collaborated located in Colleyville, TX. This place was so magical and full of amazing antique treasures. And gosh, our model linsday is so stinkin' cute!
