Last night we attended a book signing party for The Exquisite Book, a project headed by  the lovely Julia Rothman. We were honored to be asked to participate in the book (see Eunice's contribution here). The signing took place at the ever fabulous Rare Device.

Personalized Bridesmaids Gifts

il_430xN.143622671 We love the idea of thanking your hard working bridesmaids with a small token of your appreciation. A perfect gift is something that they can use during the wedding as well as enjoy as a memory of the day. These letterpress inspired necklaces from Erica Weiner are just lovely! Perfer something more classic? Try this rose gold and diamond version from Hokise Jewelry...
