4 months to go.

Okay wow. 4 months until I marry my best friend. As we stepped into a new year it all suddenly felt real- in a good way. I am so excited for my wedding day, I have had so much fun organizing and planning and have refused to sweat the small stuff. When I got engaged I made a vow that I wouldn't allow myself to get stressed about the day, there have been a couple of worry-wart moments. But mostly, I have stayed true to my word.

I have been busy browsing Etsy for stationery ideas and have come across so many unique styling ideas. We are having a travel themed wedding, so it is super fun to see all the cute details we can add to our day.

My favourite purchase from today were these amazing mini vintage envelopes from verryberrysticker. They are the perfect nod to our theme, without being too much. I am so aware that wedding themes can get tacky and become too much, so we are being really careful to just have small details.

I have had the idea to create mini portraits for all my guests for the place settings, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea yet or not...Hmmm...

 

 

I will be blogging more in the lead up to our big day. I hope you will come on the journey with me!

 

What are you excited about this year?

2015

{hello adventure}

Happy new year everyone. 

It feels strange to be stepping into a new year,  as it feels like only yesterday that we bid farewell to 2013. The end of a year always leaves me pensive, thinking of the year that has past and imagining what is in store for the new year. As always, a new year is a time to reflect and to find ambition in the year ahead. 

I have been blessed with an excellent year, one full of challenges  but full to the brim of happiness and love. Every year I take a few moments to illustrate a dream board for the year to come - I include hopes for the year, ambitiions, inspirations, challenges, everything. I prop it up on my makeup table so it is always infront of me, reminding me of what I had hoped for the year. I enjoy this approach more than strict “resolutions” as I don’t really work very well with rules, and like the idea of inspiring myself better. It’s always exciting to look over the previous years wishes - some things get left behind, others become the focus. On my board last year, right in the center was “Little me paper co: open an etsy shop” and when I wrote that on the 31st December 2013 it was only a dream, an aspiration that I hoped would come true in the new year. Now, 1 year later - I opened my little etsy shop, and it is a dream that is now a reality.  I am so overwhelmed with excitement as to what i have achieved since August, and what I can potentially achieve this year. 

I am looking forward to setting myself some goals for my Etsy shop and in my personal life. 2015 is a huge year for me as I endeavour to make my passion my full time job, and above all, I get to marry my best friend in May.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me so far on my journey, and welcome to all the new faces. I hope 2015 is your best year yet!!!!
