  • Featured Vendor at Lovesick Expo 2014

    LovesickBadgeRND-tspYes, that’s right! Hand-Painted Weddings has been chosen as a featured vendor amongst a slew of talent for the next Lovesick Expo in Philadelphia. The expo is on January 12, 2014. I couldn’t be happier!

    Being a vendor at Lovesick last year was such a highlight! It was so much fun getting to interact with loads of prospective customers and getting to learn more about what interested them about my products. This year Offbeat Bride has connected with Lovesick Expo so I am excited to see how this fantastic, fun expo continues to grow.

  • In the Studio: Hand-Painted Baby Shower Invitation

    Musical Monkey Baby Shower Card by Hand-Painted Weddings

    One thing I treasure the most about being an artist is being able to provide a custom invitation for a loved one. This particular invitation is for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. It is a surprise shower (shh, don’t tell) so I am working with my mother-in-law on the invitation. The invitation is based on the theme of the items she registered for. This is a totally appropriate theme for them, because my sister-in-law is quite the musician. She sang at our wedding, and it was such a beautiful addition to our ceremony.

    She is expecting a baby boy, who will be named Jordan Tyler, at the end of September. I have had many friends who have had children lately but this is the first baby in my husband’s and my immediate family, so I am going to be an Aunt! Crazy!

    If you are interested in working with me on custom baby shower invitations, please inquire here.

  • Hello Summer

    Flowers are blooming. Insects are busy at work. Days are beautifully long. Mountains of fresh lettuces and fruits are sold at the markets. Summer is upon us.

    Summer is a beautiful season. My goal for the summer is to not fill it. Often I feel that people stuff their summers to the brim and then miss the simplicities that come with the season. So lets all take the opportunity to “Lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see” …because there is so much beauty to be seen.
