Working Designer Wednesday: A Plea for Advice and A Peek Into Some Creative Spaces

First of all, I need your help! My friends at Garden Party Flowers want to know…

“Which ribbon printer is the best? We’ve been looking at this one. Any help would be much appreciated as these printers aren't cheap!”

I’m really hoping some of you designers will have some advice on ribbon printers since I have never used one. Don’t be shy…help out a fellow designer…

Now…let’s take a peek into the creative spaces of some very talented designers…

Get you thinking about Fall…or are you too swamped with weddings to think that far ahead? I know so many of you are busy, busy, busy and needing a little rest. I’m thinking of you today!

Happy Monday!

I’m Back…With Books + Flowers

Wow! The last few days have been a crazy whirlwind for our family. In a nutshell…we sold our house and moved (and had no internet service for the last two days)! Next week I’ll be able to share some details with you. For now I’ll just say…God is good.

Since I’ve missed posting for the last two days, let’s skip ‘Which Bouquet?’ today and check out some flowers + books I’ve been dying to show you…
