This Saturday was really a day that will go down in history. Millions of people marched in protest for women’s rights, equality, and more. I wasn’t able to attend any of the events, but I was surely there in spirit. I am just so proud to be a woman and will fight till the end for our rights, as well as for equality among all. Here is a small collection of signs I found to be highly entertaining, not to mention clever. Some of the photos even brought a tear to my eye. Enjoy!

This month friends and family gathered at my cousins’ girlfriends baby shower to celebrate their little girl on the way. I helped out by designing the invites as well as most of the event stationery. The dessert table was beautifully laid out by the talented Christine from Coco’s Customs, a friend (and relative of my cousin’s side of the family), that I have had the pleasure of working with before. Everything came out so nice and the mother to be, again, was super excited and thankful. Needless to say, they received everything they will need for the new addition and I wish them tons of amazing years ahead as a family of four. Here are some shots from the day. Enjoy!

Recently, I teamed up with Christine from Coco’s Customs in Queens, NY and designed some party decor for a girls first birthday party she was coordinating. The theme was shabby chic, so bright florals and pretty textures were the foundation and Christine incorporated lots of lace and pearls to bring it all together. Needless to say, the party was a big hit!

The birthday girl was smiling with glee and everyone loved how it all came together. There was plenty to drink and eat, desserts galore!, and all the guests took home a cute favor box filled with treats. I am happy Avalon had a great first birthday celebration and everyone had a great time. Christine did a great job at setting it all up and showcasing all the pretty little paper products I designed and all the vendors who played a part did awesome as well. Here is a look into the event. Enjoy!
