Spotlight on: Dewdrop Designs

We were recently introduced to Gillian Dewberry's boutique shop, Dewdrop Designs, and wanted to share her gorgeous work with our readers! Her handmade guest books and albums are perfect for any occasion, especially weddings!


Dewdrop offers many different sizes ranging from super-large 14"x17" books to 8"x11" horizontal books. We are also excited about the new book covers that can be given as bridesmaid gifts. Similar to the other books, they are leather and a great memory of the wedding using the same image that brides choose for the guest album.

I recently worked with a bride who asked me for a recommendation about guestbooks. I immediately thought of Gillian and so I recommended that she contact her immediately. We ended up making a monogram from her invitations and I sent it over to Gillian, who screened it on the front cover of the book. {Photo below}


Below are the standard color swatches, but be sure to ask about custom colors!


The Dewdrop website also offers other adorable gifts such as jewelry, art, baby books and personalized stationery, so be sure to check it out for your guest book and gifting needs!

Baby's First Birthday!

Get creative with your maps! This one here is for a baby's first birthday taking place in Bel Air, Ca. It highlights all the fun things to do in the LA area: Malibu, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Mann's Chinese Theater, and Downtown. It even points the way to Disneyland in the south and San Francisco in the north. Since the party is at a country club, I've drawn a pair of little spectator shoes which is my favorite part of this map. The family dog denotes the general area of the family's home. What a fun way to commemorate such a special day. And, it goes to show the maps work for more than just weddings, but other events as well.

A Savvy Baby

Kelly of A Savvy Event emailed me over the weekend to let me know about her new endeavor, A Savvy Baby! A Savvy Baby was founded by Kelly and her sister Karyn and will feature some of their favorite finds for mom's and children, parenting tips, recipes, baby shower ideas and planning, interviews with other moms, and of course a ton of giveaways. What a wonderful idea, especially since I am now hearing that several of my past clients are having babies! Be sure to bookmark their new blog, it's sure to be a fabulous hit!
