Before I head off for a relaxing weekend at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, here are some quick highlights from the week & month...

Wedding Invitations

I always LOVE opening my Google Reader and randomly coming across blog posts that contain wedding inspirations or images from my personal friend's weddings!  In the past 2 weeks I've seen two of my friends' wedding invitations featured on major blogs.The first invitation is for my business school friend who is getting married in Costa Rica.  She has a stunning hand painted invitation by one of the most talented and best in the industry: Kristy Rice from Momental Designs.The second invitation is for a couple that met on my dorm floor at UCLA (back in 2001)!  They are getting married in San Francisco and their invite by Stinkerpants & Lettergirl is absolutely adorable (and very SF)!  This was featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper.
