ART PRINT :: Do You Feel LUCKY Punk?

Hello my friends! Since St. Patty's day is this month, I wanted to bring you something a little different. I wanted to ink up a print that was a little on the crazy fun side. I don't know about you but it seems like EVERY time I hear people saying the word 'lucky' or talking about being 'lucky' or even quoting something about 'luck', I naturally go there. Every. Single. Time.

That's right.

This quote. This infamous quote is what I immediately think of and it puts a smile on my face every time. Ya know what is hilarious? . . . when I was inking this to share with you guys, my daughter peeked at it and asked "why? Just why? I don't get it." Too funny, I know, so I gave her a quick 'greatest-movie-quotes-of-all-time' lesson and sent her on her way! lol ;) I mean she HAS to know about the great actors of our time, am I right or am I right?

 

So this brand new print: 'Do you feel LUCKY punk' print is now available to purchase in my Etsy shop and I hope you love it as much I as do and perhaps you love that movie. Perhaps you love that actor who said it? Or perhaps you just love a good movie quote like me . . . either way, it's ready to go!

I would love to hear if you have a movie quote that you love saying all the time or one that makes you chuckle and smile when you hear it.    

If this is one of your faves, head over to the shop and grab your own 'Do you Feel LUCKY Punk?' art print and I hope you enjoy this, PUNK! ;)  

 

Don't forget I also offer CUSTOM hand lettered prints, decor and anything else you would like hand lettering done on, just ask! Do you think you have a great idea? Just shoot me an email . . . at laura@eyecandycs.com and I'd love to chat with y'all!

 

So what you think of this print? What is one of your favorite movie quote? Let me know below as I would love to hear about one of yours. Thanks.

WEDDING :: St Patty's Day Inspiration Board

Hello everyone & welcome to "Wedding Wednesday"!

::  cake  :: dress  ::  cocktail  ::  art print  ::  cufflinks  ::  napkin decor  ::  garland

   St. Patty's Day is coming soon and I bet you didn't think you could do a St. Patty's Day theme wedding and keep it classy huh? Well, look at this board I put together! I am loving it, as it would be great for a couple who's Irish and want to represent for their wedding! Today I am sharing how using shades of green paired with a hint of gold, works well together for those who want to embrace this theme around this time of year  . . .

 
  The cake is THE show stopper so make sure to pick one that embraces your theme and looks fabulous sitting all alone. I adore the huge flower on the side to give this cake more of a feminine touch plus it exudes springtime! This dress is a perfect choice for the girls to wear as it's adorable and would look great at a day or evening wedding. A classic cocktail featured at the bar in your wedding colors is a must, so why not serve up some green martinis to your guests! Using fun art prints that tie into your theme is a fun way to add a personal touch to the tables. Set this 'Lucky in Love' print on the cake, gift or food table for added decor. These clover cufflinks are the perfect gift for your groom or his groomsmen. Keep your place setting simple by adding a clover casually tied to a ribbon around the napkins. Hanging a fun tissue garland, like this one, over the gift table or anywhere you need to add some pizazz is a fun and affordable way to add some color to the space.

 
Have you ever been to a St. Patty's day theme wedding that used lots of greens in their color scheme?  What was your favorite element of the event?  I would LOVE to hear the details . . .spill below ;)

WEDDING :: My BEACH wedding as Inspiration Board

     

Hello everyone & welcome to a special edition to "Wedding Wednesday"!

Today I celebrate another FOUR year anniversary. I say "another" as you could say I had 2 ceremonies. One here at home with our families and friends and then the second on the beach while on our honeymoon. It's what we wanted so that's what we did. Enjoy!

 

 

My bouquet I made myself. Picked up flowers, ribbon & floral supplies at a local grocery store & designed my bouquet plus a couple boutonnieres.

The lobby of the resort we stayed at had this amazing lobby with lots of modern designs & furniture. We took advantage of it.

Walking off into the sunset. Happily married (again).

Sealed with a kiss.

Destin had this private park, at Henderson Beach, across from our resort, which was perfect to hold the ceremony.

Walking the beach with my husband. In and out of the water. We had fun.

Our wedding attire. I love my dress so much I want to wear it again. ;)

Our LOVE.

Walking through the lobby to go to the ceremony.

 

Want to see more of my wedding festivities? You can see another post about my beach wedding here. For my actual wedding day you can find a sneak peek here,  my wedding details here, and then an inspiration board using my wedding day.


 Happy "beach" anniversary to my husband. I can't wait to go back soon.

I love you. xoxo

St Patty's Day :: Shamrock Party of Three

The Shamrock Party of Three
by Melissa

      

Top O’The Mornin’ To Ya folks.  It’s Melissa O’Newell comin’ atcha from the Emerald Isle…well not really but it got you in the mood, right? With the LONG Winter we are having across the US, I found myself LONGING for the next holiday to celebrate…something to cheer about…make us all smile. What better holiday than St. Patrick’s Day!

It gives me great joy to celebrate with our children. Remember it does not have to be a party of 10 to kick up the heals and do the jig. 

Today I bring you The Shamrock Party of Three! (afterall shamrocks have 3 leaves…) I created a simple little tablescape for our children to get them in the St. Patty’s Day mood. 

We are really doing well on our “less is more” motto when it comes to sugar.  I have vowed this year not to have a ton of sugary sweets at the party tables anymore.   So far, mission accomplished!

 For this party, I decided to mix the dark chocolate (organic, fair trade no less) with some salty pretzels. It fills all the yummy salty and sweet flavors at the same time.  The kids won’t miss the lollipops, candybars, gumballs at all. (watch for the quick tutorial on these cuties)

It was easy to dress up these cellophane bags using the Kids Party Squares from Eye Candy Event Details’ Etsy shop.  After trimming them, I stuck them to a little larger green tag and tied them with some green festive bakers twine to finish off these “goodie bags”.  

Some other fun items that the children will be getting….themed tattoos, rainbow rings and some beaded necklaces.  

Another way I used these St. Patrick’s Day party squares was to trim them and stick them to green foil cupcake papers (opened up).  I love the way the foil shines with the party squares. 

I know the children will appreciate some spring colors in the house and the fun of St. Patrick’s Day!

Until next time – Party On Friends and don’t’ forget to Kiss the Irish!
