Chelsea Gwynne {Vendor shout out : stuff I love}

Losing a fantastic neighbor when you live in an apartment is always a tragic event.  When we first moved into our Brookline apartment in 2007, I was so nervous about who my new neighbors would be.  My husband and I were lucky to get an end unit, so we only shared one wall...but that was our bedroom wall.  Right after we moved in we started to speculate that no one actually lived there at all because it was always so quiet.  But soon we met the couple and we LOVED them.  And they LOVED Rupert ;)  We saw them get engaged and get married and sadly, we saw them buy their first home.  When they told us they were leaving my heart was crushed.  After I begged them to stay...for Rupert's sake of course...I immediately went into panic mode over who our new neighbors would be.  But by some blessing of the apartment gods, we got fantastic neighbors again!  Chelsea, Michael...and their dog, Monty!!  As we got to know them, I found out that Chelsea has her own business designing beautiful jewels!

The Wedding Book! {stuff I love : products}

I am so excited to announce the arrival of The Wedding Book!  This baby is gorgeous!!!  But first, a note about what this book means to me.  It has taken me months to find this little gem.  I first met The Wedding Book about 6 months ago and right from the start I was pretty sure we were a match made in heaven.  But I stepped back and did a ton of research on album companies...bugged my photo friends, manhandled books at trade shows and ordered up samples like it's my job.  My husband was constantly asking if I could please just pick one and stick with it!  Well, honestly, it is my job, which means I will never offer something I don't LOVE!  So anyways...I LOVE this book...and I am absolutely certain you will too!

The Wedding Book: This 10X10 book is printed on soft, photographic paper that is mounted back to back for durable, yet flexible pages.  The Wedding Book is bound with a lay-flat binding...meaning there are no cuts, just a micro-fold.  The paper will not discolor or get all funky on you which makes it great for panoramic spreads!  It has a hard, linen textured cover that comes in seven fantastic colors.  The Wedding Book is personally designed to tell the story of your day and contains up to 20 full page spreads.  All books come with a super cute cloth dust-cover to protect your wedding book for years to come!!

Now, let me introduce to you, Jade & Tim...in Passion Pink!

Much Love,

Aubrey

Here are a few of the spreads!

Engagement Albums! {stuff I love : products}

These came in a while ago...and well, summer happened.  And summer is still happening as I am about to start my office renovation...yes, this is the second time since we moved in...but this should be the last!  Anyways, here they are for your viewing pleasure!  I LOVE them.  These albums are locally manufactured and handmade - it doesn't get much better than that!  The first one is an imported linen cover that comes in many different delicious colors like Kiwi, Blueberry and Mango...shown here!  The other album has a glossy, removable book jacket.  The jackets are scratch, smudge and tear-resistant!  Both books are 20-pages of high quality, archival paper and custom designed by yours truly.  I also do extensive editing on all images that go into your album so that it is nothing short of perfect!
