I love the idea of combining papery & favors.  These mini champagne bottles are from one of my real weddings August 22nd - the newly married Vanessa and John Wesseling.  (soooo, much more to come from this wedding - tons of personalized details - I am dying to get my hands on pics!)  These mini champagne bottles were set at each place setting as the guest's favor and served double-duty as their place card.  

The mini champagne bottles were tied off with a soft ivory satin ribbon, a mini folded card with the guest's name on the front, coordinating (yet, altering) artwork to signify the guest's entree choice and a little thank you from the bride and groom tucked inside.

So cute!

Ok.  I am officially obsessed with these little scented oils from Bath and Body Works!  My sister-in-law gave me a set with the little oil warmer several birthdays ago and I have gradually collected a massive stockpile of scents.  

These little bottles pack a serious punch of room smelling loveliness.  Just a few drops in a warmer scents my entire house.  Top to bottom - every nook and cranny.  Love them if I'm feeling like I need to de-stress, love them if I'm having guests over, love them if I need to put myself in a creative mood - just plain love 'em.  

My all time favorite last year was a Fresh Lemonade - this months obsession is White Citrus.

How cute would these babies be as favors????

I can't think of a more deserving charity.  Shriners holds a very special place in my heart.  My nephew severely burned his hands when he was just over a year old.  Shriners heard about his case and offered any an all services needed to get him on the mend.  It was a long and painful process for the little guy and thanks to Shriners and all the wonderful doctors & nurses there he made a full and complete recovery.

If you're considering charitable contributions this year, this is definitely a deserving cause.  Visit lakesideluxury.blogspot.com for more information.

we are thrilled to be sponsoring the first ever tom hartman memorial golf tournament on monday, september 28, 2009 at limekiln golf club, benefiting the "Thomas R Hartman Trust." the cost is $90/golfer and includes: 18 holes of golf, cart, buffet dinner, beverages, give-a-ways and a great day of fun! if you or anyone you know may be interested please visit the website to register! the deadline for registration is saturday, august 15, 2009.

if you don’t want to golf, but want to volunteer your time on the day of the tournament, please email info@tomhartmanmemorial.com.

Tom Hartman of Warminster was taken away from us suddenly on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2008, at the young age of 46.

Tom was the beloved husband of Colleen A. Keough Hartman, with whom he had shared 25 years of marriage. Tom was the loving father of Kirstin, Ryan and Matthew, all at home.

Tom was an active member of the Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church and a resident of Warminster for 22 years. His faith guided Tom with his beliefs in Family, Community, and Work Ethics. Tom’s community activities included coaching and board member in the Warminster Little League, Travel Teams and the Warminster Soccer Club.

Tom was a member of Steamfitters Local Union 420 and a longtime employee and General Manager of E. B. O'Reilly Service Corporation. Along with being a member of the Mechanical Service Contractors of America, Tom sat on the Joint Conference Board and the Board of Trustees for Apprentice Training of Service Refrigeration and Air Conditioning in the Delaware Valley Area and Steam Fitters Local Unit 420. In 2007 he was appointed President of the Service Contractors Association of the Greater Delaware Valley.

Those of you who knew Tom remember him as being the life of the party. He had a punch line for everything in life. He loved calling his brother in-law, Dave, fat in front of his daughters. The more they would defend Dave the more Tom would poke fun at him. Tom also thought he was an athlete, many a family party he would go home injured while playing basketball with his nephews. He actually broke a rib at one of his brothers’ parties.

Tom was a golfer, well maybe a hack, just like the rest of the Hartman’s. He was often found making his second shot from another fairway. When you golfed with Tom, you where guaranteed to go home with a sore stomach from laughing so much. There’s a story of Tom arriving to a golf course, not close to home, with two left shoes and had to cram his sweaty paws into someone else’s sneakers.

I've been wanting to show these Panel (panel invitations with no pocket) back options for sometime.  Thinking it really helps to see the same invite with different options for the back.  Each little twist makes such a difference

Photo 1: invitation front

Photo 2: ribbon sash

Photo 3: ribbon knot

Photo 4: tailored Tiffany bow

Photo 5: ribbon sash with punched monogram panel

Photo 6: ribbon sash with flat monogram panel

Which is your favorite back??  Mine?  The tailored Tiffany bow.  I'm all about those little bows these days.
