Designer Highlight: Vanessa Adáo

August 8, 2011

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Vanessa through her blog, A Casa de Va, so when I heard she was stating her Textile Design Adventure I was excited to share her work. Vanessa will be launching an online sore with wallpapers, cushions and fabric by the yard on September 1st!

Vanessa decided to be fully devoted to her textile carrer about a year ago and since then spent months in her home country of Brazil to design and create new work. Currently, she is back in the States with a collection that is being exhibited at PrintSource booth.

Wedding Belles & The Stationer: New Orleans, LA

August 1, 2011

So happy Netta introduced me to Wedding Belles and The Stationera sweet bridal and stationery shop in New Orleans, LA. Its charms jump right out of the pictures!

A little about the shop: 

In 2010, after nearly a decade of having their separate shops, Amy Casbarian and Jane Bensel met through a mutual friend and decided to get hitched, so to speak, and move in together to offer a new experience for their brides. With their combined store front, their goal is to assist, encourage and ultimately inspire brides in the New Orleans area. Together, Wedding Belles and The Stationer give brides the best of both worlds – exquisite gowns and gorgeous stationery.


A reason to visit this summer:
This summer, Wedding Belles and The Stationer held a bi-weekly series called Wedding Wednesdays to help guide brides through the somewhat daunting process of planning a wedding. With events like “You Said Yes: Now What?” and “Icing on the Cake,” Wedding Belles & The Stationer host experts from around New Orleans on topics ranging from event planning to personal training to specialty cocktails. The events are all complimentary and have been a huge success – most of the brides who attend one come back for another and thoroughly enjoy learning from and meeting Amy and Jane and other brides.

If you plan on passing through NOLA, add Wedding Belles & The Stationer to your must see list!

P.S. Last day to enter the Flawed Perfection Giveaway! http://tinyurl.com/3kfepae Brand new giveaway launch tomorrow!
