hi all! cheyenne here, back from an incredible trip to south africa. south africa is my first home and i haven't been back in 20 years. besides the amazing reunion with cousins, aunts, uncles and friends; my husband and i explored quite a bit of the spectacular natural environments from the bush to the sea. we cuddled lion cubs, fed elephants, went shark cage diving, and enjoyed way too much of the local cuisine and wine! it was tough to leave such a beautiful country, but i'm feeling very inspired and refreshed...

we were delighted to be the featured stationer at appleford's open house held on thursday, september 22nd. stephen starr events hosted the night with a delicious tasting as usual. the setting was gorgeous... styled creative decorated the tented veranda with shabby chic ribbons and chandeliers and sullivan owen dressed up the room with vintage style roses arranged in mini mint julip cups. sarah dicicco, cinemacake filmmakers, and little baby's ice cream were just a few of the other talents of the night.

our minds were saturated with inspiration and social media tidbits at the ohjoy! rx workshop we attended monday night at moore college of art. we were so lucky to get a spot -- the workshop hosted by aiga philly sold out that same day!

the 3 hour workshop was fantastic. we sat among the most stylish group of 40 talented ladies. joy was everything we'd thought she be -- cute, interesting and pregnant! she spoke so eloquently and her presentation was invaluable.

we left that night with many new ideas as we design our website and brand new blog, joy's adorable notebooks, 40 business cards and many new friends in philly and the blogging world. we look forward to collaborating with many of these ladies on future projects.

look out for more regular and themed posts!

some photos from our fun little field trip to terrain at styer's last friday! we went for a tour of the grounds and had lunch at their delicious cafe with elizabeth nettles, terrain's very talented event planner.

if you haven't been -- you must go. it's located in glen mills, a quiet town about 45 minutes from the city. the indoor/outdoor space is beautiful -- the greenhouse is over a century-old -- the plants are so exotic and perfect. we wandered for hours checking out all of their raw and refined treasures. we left with only a fern and some colored pencils made from twigs, but bags full of inspiration.
