Sponsor Spotlight: LolaDee!

    I'm excited to be closing October with one of my favorite sponsors from this month, LolaDee! LolaDee has actually been a sponsor of LCH for a few months now and I love having her! Her darling handmades are almost as sweet as she is! I've asked Lorna to put together a little something about herself to share with y'all so I hope you find her as charming as I do! She also sent me a cute zipper rosette headband that I just love so I'll share those photos at the end! 




    Hello there! First of all, thanks to Kaelah for allowing me to pop in here and tell you a little bit about what I do!..


    I’m Lorna or LolaDee from Things I Fell in Love With Today! I'm a 21 year old vintage obsessed, crafty blogger and broadcasting student from Cork City in the south of Ireland and I basically blog about all the things that I see or experience that have made me smile in the hope that they might make you smile also. I also run a little etsy store alongside my blog, where I sell my handmade accessories.

    My life is busy busy busy and you can usually find me stressing out over media projects in college or in my craft room drowning in a sea of buttons, thread, yarn and fabric. I also sell my handmade lufflies at a local craft market called The Fair Alternative here in Cork every saturday. When I do have a minute to myself, I tend to spend the time dancing around my living room to terrible music with my nephews or watching episode after episode of True Blood with my boy. The simple things, eh?

    I loved art in school and craft was my main focus, often drifting into my own little world while carving some lino prints or moulding a clay model, but when I finished school I never quite knew where to go from there with my crafty side. When I started following some of the blogs that have become part of my daily life now, I suddenly felt all kinds of inspiration. So, I guess you could say that it was the Blogosphere and all the wonderfully inspiring people in it that gave me the push to start making my accessories and selling them online and at markets. 

    I have a fascination with buttons so you'll find that a lot of my work features them. I love sifting through jars of buttons, old and new, wondering where each one has been, if its been attached to a piece of clothing, who owned it and how it ended up in my craft room! I make a variety of things from headbands to rings and I'm happy to do any custom orders that people would like. Just drop me a line, don't be shy :) P.S. here's a little heads up... I'm in the process of adding loads of new stock to my etsy so keep an eye on it in the coming weeks!

    Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about what I do. I hope you check out my blog and say hello :) Have a great day!
    LolaDee x


    Here is a look-see at what Lorna sent me to sport! (Truth be told, I was wearing it yesterday out and about and left it in Mike's car on accident. He didn't get home until the sun went down today so I couldn't get proper photos. Hopefully I can snag some well-lit ones this week! I'll definitely be wearing it, that's for sure!)




    I hope you take the chance to check out Lorna's blog and her etsy shop as both are treasure troves of goodness! You can find her hopping around the internet at these fine places: Blog -- Etsy -- Twitter. Thanks so much Lorna for writing up this little piece, being a rad sponsor, and sending me such a fabulous item! xo

    PS; Happy Halloween!

Sunday Spotlight - Photographer: Tec Petaja

    Last week's spotlight featured the work of the always-inspiring Joy Thigpen... well, this week we're focusing on someone she has worked with a bit in her past. While she has definitely had the luxury of meeting and collaborating with some of the world's finest photographers and vendors, I can't help but fall in love with everything she and Tec Petaja do together. And quite frankly -- everything he does solo, too! 

    I don't remember how I first found Tec... I think it was around the time Southern Weddings magazine was launched and he and his adorable wife, Chelsea, graced the cover. I had no idea that was them at the time, but their photos simply inspired me and I dare say prompted my love of all things wedding. Chelsea runs a blog and online shop over at Oh My Deer Handmade (so cute!). I also started regularly seeing Tec's work featured on Once Wed. Well, fast forward a little while and I realize that they live in my neighborhood (for the lack of a better term.) They live in East Nashville and Tec has shot many weddings in the Franklin area. Well, of course I'm going to give him bonus points for being a hometown player! Anyway- I've watched both Tec and Chelsea via the interweb (in a non-creepy way) and shared his work with Mike. I can safely say that Tec is Mike's #1 photography inspiration as he dives head-first into a new career path. We're just enamored with what he is able to produce. So now I'll share some photos and let them speak for themselves! They truly need no introduction!

    As you can tell, many of these are from weddings that I have also featured in my Wedding Wednesday posts! There is something absolutely undeniable about his work and I only hope that we can afford him once our big day comes! You can find Tec online at his website, wedding websiteblog and twitter

Things to remember during this Halloween

    The Baez Law Firm, P.C. will like to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween this year. Please, be advise that there are numerous irresponsible drivers that would drink and drive, without thinking of the consequences nor the damages that they can cause.

    Parents, please inspect your children candies before you allow them to eat them. Some criminals still use Halloween as a means to express their wickedness. Be safe!

    Children, when crossing the streets, please look both ways. Always have a reflective best or light to show the drivers that someone is there. There are many dark places in San Antonio, and a light would need to be used.

    Please, let's make this year one that we can be proud of and say, there were no accidents nor fatalities in San Antonio.

Halloween around the house. Part 2

    I'm really excited about the pumpkin below! He's so awesome, I love that creepy smile. My dad bought him for me from the auction (as well as the kitty at the end of the post and a bunch of other really old halloween goodies!)
    I'm kind of bummed that all the decorations will be coming down on Monday, I feel like they just went up! The month of October really is flying by. Plus once they come down the days before I can start decorating for Christmas will drag by! (I'm more excited about that than any one human should be!)

    I also made some halloween sugar cookies!! Clearly I'm still not the best decorator but I'll get there! :P
    Hope you're all having a wonderful evening!
    xoxo
