"Who are those guys"

The U.S. Postal Service recently announced their 2008 commemorative stamp collections, including a 16 stamp collection commemorating the works of designers Charles and Ray Eames. I have been waiting patiently since January for June to come so I could pick up my set of stamps. Woo Hoo, they finally made their way to my local post office on Friday. I stopped by this morning to check to see if they were in and the postman said "yes we received them on Friday, who are those guys anyway?" I grinned and told him they were furniture designers. I love Eames chairs, I painted little watercolors of the plywood chair to give this years seniors as a good luck present. It is my goal to one day own two of the plywood chairs.

The Wedding!

My oldest daughter was married this weekend. It was a lovely wedding that took place at a local photographers place. Jennings Creek is located in Warren County, KY just west of Bowling Green. It is a beautiful setting with a wooded area and creek that is used to photography area high school senior pictures.

My daughter should become a wedding planner. She planned everything down to the smallest detail. Her invitations were in blue and two shades of green, representing the sky, trees and grass. The dinner napkins were bound with a strip of blue or green with twigs attached to the band. She took plain clear votive cups and decorated each differently with the outdoor theme such as painted leafs, the stripes on the wedding invitations and blue polka dots. Each aisle chair had a tin cup that held a single hydrangea. The bridesmaids selected their dresses that fit their personality. Every guest took home a memento of Strawberry jam that my Aunt made. She did a wonderful job and I am very proud of her.
