Flowers In Your Hair : Editorial Shoot

When we were younger we thought
Everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little bit
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
It takes a boy to live
It takes a man to pretend he was there

So then we grew a little and knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self-assured

Cause it's a long road to wisdom
But it's a short one
To being ignored

Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
And be in my heart

So now I think that I could
Love you back
And I hope it's not too late cause you're so attractive
And the way you move
I won't close my eyes
It takes a man to live
It takes a woman to make him compromise

Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
And be in my heart

A date in the life of Cassie & Dave

We are so blessed to be able to meet incredible couples, delve into their lives, their likes, their dislikes, and get a little glimpse into what makes them unique.  Dave & Cassie are no exception.  We knew from the first time we sat down with them over a cup of coffee, that they were one of our couples.  Their fun filled spirits, love for all things unique, and fun, and of course literature, told us that their wedding day was going to be one for the books.  We are so thrilled that we will be taking part in their day this coming Saturday.  For now want to let ya'll have a little peak into a date day with Cassie & Dave,  antiquing, the cinema, and of course reading as the sun sets.

Let the Games Begin!

If you watched the opening ceremonies last night (like I, Lollie, did) then you had a blast experiencing fun moments like the Queen's "skydiving", Mr. Bean's musical talents, and of course the Mary Poppins bit with the children in bed. My family snuggled up and watched the 2012 Opening Ceremonies from our comfy home here in NC. Havie G must have said over and over again "I want to go to the Olympics!!" (and what child doesn't?) I remember being at the beach in 1996 when Keri Strug's landed the famous one foot vault. My sisters and I would dream of being gymnastic Olympic finalists... even to the point of my sister Jessica spraining her ankle doing a vault off of a wooden beam in the back yard!

I sifted through all those memories last night and after hearing Havie say over and over "Go USA! USA! USA!" and my heart pumping with the adrenaline of competitive spirit, I decided that we did not have to wait for her to make the Olympic team... we could compete NOW!

So, after an afternoon of busy art time with Havie making an American flag, a picture of the Queen, a USA sign, Gold medals..... we decided to have our own Wagoner Family Olympic games. We hope this gets you in the mood for the games and full of giddy excitement for your country and your favorite sport (mine being Volleyball!)

Enjoy our goofy video... dont mind my shaky hand... videoing with a baby on your hip is no easy task!

DIY Tutorial: Lace Vintage Bow

I have been looking forever for the perfect vintage bow.  A lovely big bow, that won't cost me $15-$20.  So I thought.. Why not make one.. I'm crafty enough {with a glue gun anyway}.  I thought I would take you along on this adventure, in case you had been looking for that perfect little bow too.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1.RECTANGLE OF MATERIAL :

 COULD BE FLORAL, ONE COLOR.. I CHOSE LACE{YAY LACE}  REMEMBER THE LARGER THE MATERIAL THE BIGGER THE BOW {MY BOW WAS ABOUT 18in LONG x 8 in HIGH

2.HOT GLUE GUN AND GLUE STICK

3. SCISSORS

4. NEEDLE AND THREAD

5. SOME SORT OF HAIR CLIP OR COMB

6. ONE MORE SMALL RECTANGLE FOR MIDDLE OF BOW

DIRECTIONS:

FIRST TAKE YOUR MATERIAL AND  FOLD THE TOP AND BOTTOM DOWN.  I PUT A FEW DOTS OF GLUE TO KEEP MATERIAL IN PLACE BECAUSE LACE IS A LITTLE HARD TO WORK WITH.  THEN YOU FOLD AGAIN.  TAKE BOTH ENDS AND MEET IN THE MIDDLE.

AT THIS POINT YOU CAN EITHER GLUE THE TWO ENDS TOGETHER OR SEW.  I WOULD GENERALLY SEW THIS PART, BUT LACE IS A LITTLE HARD TO SEW, SO I GLUED.  I THEN TOOK A BIT OF THREAD AND GATHERED THE BOW IN THE MIDDLE AND WRAPPED THE THREAD AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE BOW TO CREATE THE TWO SIDES.  TIE IT OFF AND CUT OFF THE EXTRA STRING.  TAKE SOME HOT CLUE AND APPLY TO MIDDLE FRONT OF BOW.  PLACE THE SMALL RECTANGLE ON GLUE TO HOLD IN PLACE.  WRAP THE RECTANGLE AROUND THE BACK, FIRMLY, AND GLUE THE TWO ENDS TOGETHER.  FROM THEIR YOU CAN GLUE OR SEW YOUR COMB ON, OR YOU CAN SLIDE THE CLIP IN THE BACK OF THE BOW LIKE I DID.  YOU CAN GLUE THE CLIP IN PLACE, BUT I CHOSE NOT TO, SO I COULD USE THE SAME CLIP ON OTHER BOWS.

PLACE IN HAIR AND HAVE THE CUTEST LITTLE DITTY OF A BOW EVER!
