thursday tidbits

greetings!  my, this has been a whirlwind of a week.  i have told you that i'm doing a huge website re-vamp, correct?  the ol' calliespondence.com has not been updated in quite some time.  the baby announcements featured - those kids are like 3 years old now.  i'm so excited to show y'all what i've been working on recently!  i don't always have time (and let's face it, energy) to photograph everything and show it to y'all, so i'm thrilled that there will be a place to showcase all of the new projects instead of just scattered all over the blog.  but you guys.  updating a website is SO time consuming.  and i'm not even actually doing the uploading, i'm just getting all of the content together.  omg, i need five interns like sonya morgan.

in addition to all of the portfolio sections, i'm doing five styled, attention-grabbing (hopefully?) scrolling shots for right when you land on the webpage.  they'll represent different things - for instance, one wedding shot, one birth announcement shot, one holiday card shot... and i did my holiday card collage the other day.  it was fun, pulling these old friends out to play!

and do you know that my wholesale account peeps are already advertising holiday card patterns?!  WHAT!  it's july.  come on.  but i will tell you, it is super cute stuff.

in other happenings around here, for a moment on tuesday i thought we had a little slice of country here in the city.  we found a black rabbit in our front lawn, just going to town on some weeds.  we have a lot.

as i was thinking how quaint and pastoral that whole experience was, i saw the bunny again outside our kitchen window wednesday morning.  huh.  the same wild bunny, tuesday afternoon and wednesday morning...that's weird...HEY our next door neighbors have a bunny!!...i should call them.  yes, it was theirs.  they were thankful for the alert and came over to retrieve her later, but not after a little afternoon rabbit show that delighted all viewers.

guess what - rbb is going to be painting the calliespondence worldwide hq this weekend!  then next weekend, putting in built-ins with his dad.  omg, i can't WAIT!  my envelopes are currently housed on a) the floor, b) a $10 wire shelf from target and c) the bottom part of a butcher block table.  low rent much?  here's how i sort of envision the finished product; a wall of organization and colors...

...except with cabinets like these on the bottom to house samples, placed in cute bins inside...

...and on top of those in the middle, under the window - a bench with the most fun and fabulous pillows you've ever seen.

in my head, it looks great.  i'll keep you all posted on the progress!

we're also moving along in the hall bathroom.  paint is up (loving it) and the custom shower curtain is underway.  i'll show you before and afters when i get the curtain up!  in the meantime, i adore using my big girl hand towel from gramercy.

big girl out.
have a wonderful weekend!
xoxo
