Color Inspiration: Vintage Blue & Pink

Since autumn arrived this week, I have been obsessed with all things fall. I love the idea of this scheme for fall. I found this tablecloth and I love the combination of the faded vintage blue with the soft pinks and yellows. At the same sale I found these notebooks from a dental student in 1949 and 1950 and love how he used blue and pink ink to highlight his notes. The pages are so beautiful for pretty envelope liners or ephemera projects.

The colors are kind of a fun play on a faded primary scheme. I think it would be a fun unconventional scheme for a thanksgiving get together or early fall picnic. With the warm browns, reds and oranges of changing leaves as the backdrop these colors would really pop.

Find these and more in my new Lost & Fawned HOME shop. More coming soon.

Creamy Coffee Treasury

My Rose Marie Locket was featured recently in this beautiful Coffee Inspired Treasury and it's a treasury I think could translate beautifully into a cozy fall or winter wedding. A lovely ivory dress with a soft knit cardigan, accessorized with my lovely locket and a soft updo with a lace headband. I would skip a full meal and do a pastry bar with a barista and a full coffee bar that would be starbucks to shame in place of a bartender. For a venue a snowy lodge with plush lounge seating and a big fireplace. For music a soft jazz band or accoustic guitar player (think Joshua Radin).

If you have a second, stop by the treasury and send some love in the direction of these lovely artists. They deserve it! I think I might do an inspiration board for thise wedding.

Pretty Pink Treasury

I noticed the treasury was opening on etsy today so I stuck around and put together a pretty pink treasury that would be lovely for a birthday tea party or soft vintage wedding. Check out my Birthday Tea Party Treasury and send some love the way of these talented artists! Artists featured include Twigs & Honey, Bonzie, Christa Kimble and even a piece by Leanne Marshall from Project Runway! Have a lovely day everyone!

Etsy Art Sinpired Pallet Four - Rich Vintage Memories

This next pallet is inspired by this cross processed polaroid photo by Lindsey Shoemaker. I love the rich colors that are produced by the developing process and thought it would make a LOVELY in take on a retro/vintage pallet for a wedding. It's so rich but still soft and aged. I think this would be lovely paired with vintage ruffles and antiques from the 30's and 40's.

This lovely ruffled number from J Crew would be darling. The organza tiers are given a raw treatment at the edges to give it a perfectly tattered charm.
