I know. I seem to be on a black & white kick lately. Have I ever mentioned I love chalkboard stuff?



Pretty, functional and repurposed items you can use (and re-use!) for the wedding and beyond.

Oh, Hello! Lucky Wedding

I know I’m a little tardy to the party, but I’m absolutely swooning over the beautiful photos from the wedding of Hello! Lucky co-founder Eunice Moyle (Eunice & Daniel’s wedding is the cover story in the latest Spring 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings). Just go take a peek at the behind-the-scenes here and over at The MS Bride’s Guide blog. Tons of crafty inspiration and DIY details (not just for weddings) featuring the how-to’s and gasp…fab free templates! Enjoy!
