welcome to the world, little one!

this is my sister-in-law, diane, & her new little girl, reagan. one day old.

and this cute little porcelain bassinet was her mom, susie's, from when diane was born in 1978. it's been tucked away all these years for this special moment this past saturday when reagan was born. i created a little succulent memento for them that is so precious & meaningful. 

welcome to the world, little one!

apple & instagram - we love you!

we love our new iphones & instagram photo app! it frames our work in a whole new light & love the aged-photo effects that enhance our look completely. we've been dragging our feet a little about new technology, but now we're very okay with it. we can use our beautifully-designed apple devices to swipe credit cards & take amazing photos with the new instagram camera. what more do you want?
