happy 7 months

today makes 7 months since the perfect man walked into my life- I couldn't imagine finding someone as great & amazing as him before, and now I can't imagine life without him.
Happy 7 Months Sweetheart.

Hello 2012

a little kentucky adventure....

This christmas Blaine got to meet my family for the first time, and they loved him (I knew they would). So, one day we all went on a little andventure for a real taste of my old kentucky home. We traveld down little windy roads, past some cows, and deep into the country down to Loretto, the home of Makers Mark. We took the tour, did the tasting, and even dipped our own bottle!

The girls & I crafted our little fingers off to design & sew together the christmas window display for latte land in the power & light district. Check out our photo & bio here.

Happy 5 month anniversary to the sweetest guy ever. Even with all the long crazy work days, and his crazy work nights, we seem to always make time for eachother. Every minute together is fun, happy, blissful, & more than I could ever ask for. I'm a lucky girl that we found eachother. <3

Our Story
Em Byerly, Katie Larson, & Lindsay Stanley are 3 young professionals that settled in Kansas City & found each other in 2006,
when they all relocated here to start their careers at Hallmark together.
Em graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design, with a BFA in Graphic Design. Katie and Lindsay both attended Iowa State University, where Katie graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design, and Lindsay graduated with a degree in Interior Design.
5 years later they remain close friends, and although their jobs range from design and lettering to visual merchandising, there are quite a few things these girls have in common and enjoy doing together. Their love for fabrics, sewing, baking and a variety of crafting projects keep them inspired and close to each other. And, the passion they share for bringing people together, and enjoying the simple (and well designed) things in life bring new friends and the best kind of memories.
Em and Katie participated in the Holiday windows debut last year with their display in Cosentino's Market, and plan to bring even more cheer this year as they design the holiday windows in Latte Land!


Giving is the Sweetest Gift of All
We invite all of you to join us this year at Latte Land to experiance the sweetness! We have designed a fun, festive enviorment that celebrates the sprit of giving, by incorporating different ways of giving, with all the sweet little things of the season. The display can be enjoyed from the outside, as well as when you are spending time inside.
We're also very excited to be partnering with both Latte Land & Operation Breakthrough this year, and having the chance so spread our holiday cheer to you, Power & Light visitors, and to families who need a little extra help this season.
The display will leave visions of dancing sugar plums in your head, and that warm holiday feeling in your heart. (Or that might be that Latte you just had) Either way, come down & see us!

adventures

For the past 4 months, I've been spending my time getting to know a wonderful man. & It seems like we are always on an adventure together. We've done the big things, like vacations & citycations. But, even things like raking leaves are fun with this guy. I feel so happy & so lucky. It's been a busy, but wonderful fall.

Power & Light Christmas Windows!

We are doing it.... again! Katie & I decided after winning second place in the Power & Light District Christmas window contest last year, that we should do it again! So... we applied, and WE GOT IT! I can't tell you what we are up to, but I will tell you that the theme this year is "The spirit of Giving" and we have the location we've wanted for two years now, Latte Land!! More details & sneak peeks to come!

dreams

A happy day ahead...

Happy 28th Birthday Love Bug! I am so excited that we (B & Me) get to spend his birthday down here in Savannah! So far, the plan is breakfast at the Dolphin Reef Cafe, and a ghost tour later tonight!

Happy nights!

Happy Birthday Eve to the sweetest boy ever! We had another perfect evening down here on the island. We had a beautiful dinner out on the patio with strung lights above us, and overlooking the marsh. & then feed the baby gators again. Somebody pinch me.

The biggest heart ever

I am so in love with this man. He has the biggest heart! Every day I wake up and love him even more than the day before.
