a little bit country

if you follow me on facebook [please do] or twitter then you already know. 
i'm moving!
stelie's moving! my family is moving. 
we're moving from the city to the country.
actually...
a small town surrounded by country. 
a small town without a target. a small town without a starbucks.

we pass crops. farms. horse stables. organic farms. fields.
we pass cows. horses. llamas. goats. on our way from our current home to our new home.
we're moving from 3 targets within 5 miles to the closest target being 21 miles.

i've always been a city girl at heart. i prefer a cabin to camping. the sounds of traffic to the sounds of crickets. i prefer starbucks to caribou. target to walmart. pools to lakes...well...you understand.

i am extremely excited for this adventure and where we are headed. i got that feeling when i walked into the house. that feeling it's meant to be mine. that feeling where i see our kids playing and growing up. that feeling that its perfect for us. [perfect for us after it gets a minor renovation, scrubbed to the core and new paint]

**Images taken on our way to our future home.  don't worry, no one was harmed. just a lot of "mommy what are you doing?"

Rainbow love

The violet invitation design in rainbow colors with gold. LOVE, LOVE how they turned out!  I was excited when designing them digitally but seeing in print on natural white made me gush with joy! The bride loved them too.    The gold envelopes add an extra touch of excitement along with the invite and postcard rsvp. These are the save the dates, in greens and blues and grey.  (they did have rounded corners too, in my excitement to photograph while the sun was out and wind was low, I obviously forgot to round the corners) Planning a wedding or event? I'd love to work with you. Send me a note s tephanie@steliedesigns.com
