MAY DESKTOP CALENDAR

1600x1200

when i think of the month of may, of course i think of the mother’s day holiday…and….my awesome mom.  i love her dearly, she’s my best friend and she has this incredible way of making everything (and i mean ‘everything’) happy and beautiful. do you know how hard that is to do?  to find joy and beauty in not only the good, and somehow do the same with the bad.  i find it totally challenging yet my mom does it effortlessly with style and grace. is there a gal in your life that inspires you to be a ‘better you’…like my mom does for me?

thought of this little quote about a month ago and decided to write it on a post-it and slapped it up on my monitor as an everyday reminder. i shared the message on the b&t FACEBOOK page and was amazed at how crazy-viral it went. with all the likes & shares  i thought i’d make it into a lil’ printable (5×7) for you.

CELEBRATING EVERYDAY LIFE by JENNIFER CARROLL:

4.22.2

lots of exciting things are happening over here at bliss and tell, one of which i’ve been meaning to tell you about for about 2 weeks now…but with so much going on this is the first moment i’ve been able to take a breath…and write a blog post.

i know you’ve heard me mention how i have the most amazing clients. not only do i love collaborating with them, i also appreciate the network of friends i’ve become a part of through, what started as, business relationships with those clients.  one of the gals i’ve come to know (admire and appreciate) is JENNIFER,  the style savvy gal behind her blog CELEBRATING EVERYDAY LIFE with JENNIFER CARROLL.   most likely you already know that she has recently released a beee-u-teee-ful issue (may/june) of her picture filled mag…but what you probably didn’t know is that i was lucky enough to be a contributor to her gorgeous publication.  i am just giddy (and honored) to be a lil’ part of a magazine that has been well received by “a-ba-jillion” other creative,  talented  and business-owning gals!

check out the “BUSINESS IS BLISS” column in the current MAY/JUNE issue, where i share an informative interview with Jennifer herself.   the column focuses on “the inside scoop of a professional” and in the current issue Jennifer talks about her experiences and advice on being a successful wedding planner.

the magazine comes out every two months and is available for $5.99 for a single issue, $12 for a 6 month subscription (which is 3 issues), or $22 for a 12 month subscription (which is 6 issues).  check out a FREE PREVIEW of celebrating everyday and i’m sure you’ll want to PURCHASE THE MAGAZINE to flip through with your wine tonight , or in my case…coffee in the morning.

WORKSPACE STYLE by POPPIN:

i’m a sucker for stylish work spaces.  i’m obsessed with peaking into other home offices and/or creative studios and admire clever design, inspirational display concepts and storage ideas.  a new client introduced me to POPPIN and i’m dreaming about the WHITE OFFICE DESIGN for my studio.  if white doesn’t suit you…then choose your favorite color from the rainbow of choices that POPPIN offers.  check out the STARTER KIT a nice gift idea for yourself or for the organized business owner in your life.  pick from 9 different colors:

this starter set includes:
-       stapler
-       tape dispenser
-       pens & pen cup

today POPPIN is offering a lil’ gift for you when you purchase over $10 of any of their uber-chic products.

DESIGN & BRANDING PROJECT

4.4

i feel so priveleged to work with such creative and talented business owners.  one of those being  DEBORAH COOPER -a local, southern california gal, formerly known for the blog “round the coop’ and now owner and “wow” designer of PEINTURE an incredible boutique-studio within the hip SOCO (south coast collection) in orange county, ca.

only a few months after opening DEBORAH and PEINTURE were featured in OC WEEKLY and RIVIERA magazines!  (stay tuned for an upcoming b&t post that will feature several clients that have been featured in magazines.)  in addition to selling vintage home décor and Chalk Paint®, Peinture also has an amazing in-store space where they hold painting workshops.  in hands-on sessions, home décor enthusiasts can learn to paint furniture in our Furniture Painting 101 classes (no experience required!). also offered are advanced classes for others who want to experiment with finishes and techniques that add to their repertoire.

i conceptualized a logo and identity, creating a cohesive and unifying look that Deborah loves.  check out some of the print material (below) and digital design work…

MARCH DESKTOP CALENDAR

it’s easy for me to say “goodbye” to February as it was a challenging month of the reoccurring flu for a couple of us in the family days before a family ski vacation and all happening within a short month.  so a big “welcome” to March…a new month filled with new possibilities.

WELCOME MARCH hope you enjoy…share with a friend and
