The Wedding of My Dreams





Do you remember these pictures that I took at Maison Reve! I just discovered the story on how these chandeliers were used in a Napa, California wedding!

This would be my DREAM wedding.
I was so excited about this I could hardly wait to share it with all of you!



Please come back and tell me what you think!!!!!

Hello everyone, it is Wednesday & I am in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania!
Well kind of! The talented Marian, aka Miss Mustard Seed, from Mustard Seed Creations, asked ME to guest post on her Wednesday Work Shop Series! I was very excited and nervous to say the least. Marian is a very talented artist. She paints beautiful murals. She has a very successful creative blog and She is very sweet. Marian has helped me out a lot with my blog. The first time I found Marian's blog was when she had a workshop series post~Tips from a blog expert. This post helped me out tremendously! I am so glad I found her blog when I did.
Thanks Marian for this opportunity to guest post on your blog! My first guest post! Marian thanks for being so patient with me : ) I am so honored to be a guest on your blog!

Maison Reve


the above photo is one I took at the Maison Reve shop

Yasmine & David McGrane's home~ pictures are in the Fall 2008 Country French Magazine

When I came across these pictures in the 2006 Country Home Magazine I was so excited! My heart basically stopped when I first saw these pictures!!! ( I took these pictures of my 2008 Country French Magazine issue). Yasmine's home has been featured in Country Home, Country French, Better Homes and Garden & many more. Her home was used for the cover picture of the book, the Find, by Stan Williams. He also featured her home in his book as well.

I am so inspired by Yasmine's style. I wonder if she knows how many women she has inspired?

Yasmine owns Maison Reve in Mill Valley, California. If you are ever in the San Francisco area, you have to take the time to stop in and visit Yasmine's shop, Maison Reve. Her store is filled with a variety of vintage finds & french antiques. She calls her style Urban Farmhouse.

I thought I should take some pictures of the Maison Reve Shop for all of you! Just in case you haven't ever been to her shop.

Be prepared there are a lot of pictures. I couldn't help myself. Thank you Ashley for letting me take so many pictures! I actually had planned to do a collage, but can't quite figure out how to do that yet.

If you click on any of the orange highlights it will take you to Yasmine's website.
She has a great website! So if you don't live in California you can shop Maison Reve online!!!
