Pizza, Posies and Popsicles

Good Morning Pretties,

It's summer and my hope is that you are all soaking up the long days and smiling in the sunshine. Talk about a few of my favorite things... I'm almost positive this post covers three of life's best simple pleasures! Za, Blooms and Ice Pops...and all on wheels!!! 

Charleston has so many mobile wonders, but have discovered the below? You can find Roadside Blooms, Coastal Crust and King of Pops at local farmer's markets all over town! Click on the Facebook links under each logo to see if these guys are coming down your street anytime soon. Enjoy :)

Where will Roadside Blooms stop next?

 

See where Coastal Crust will be next!

King of Pops might be near you!

Love, T

MSH Happy Hour

Good Morning Pretties,

Just wanted to remind everyone about our Second Annual Eats, Sweets and Treats Happy Hour benefiting My Sister's House

This May local retails in Mount Pleasant (Dee Ruel, Salty Girls, II Brunettes and Christina Jervey Jewelry) will be giving back to the women of our community in celebration of Mother's Day. Please join us for a night of fun, food and friends.

Thursday, May 9th, 4-7pm at Salty Girls featuring Dee Ruel 

Thursday, May 23rd, 3-6pm at II Brunettes featuring Christina Jervey Jewelry.

My Sister's House is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization servicing victims in Berkely, Charleston and Dorchester Counties. MSH offers free and confidential services, food, shelter, programs and counseling for victims of domestic violence and their children. We aim to raise $6,000 to donate to My Sister's House from our generous retails and you this Mother's Day!

Each Happy Hour Event will feature sweet treats and champagne.  The donation truck from My Sister's House will be on site to collect unwanted clothing and household items. A survivor of domestic abuse will also be at each event to tell their personal story.

We will have a $10 and $20 cash raffle featuring items from our retails all night long as well as some other fun surprises you don't want to miss! Every penny raised will go directly to the woman and children of My Sister's House.

Please pass along to family and friends! We hope to see you there. 

If you cannot make it to either event but would still like to give, here is a link for online donations. We along with the women at My Sister's House appreciate your support!

Love, D

Kelly & Logan 4.6.13

Good Morning Pretties,

Today's real wedding post is near and dear to my heart. Not only do I la la LOVE Hyer Images, got to spend a weekend with Trish assisting (sorta) with Violet Floral Design, but I witnessed the new Mrs. Kelly Smith Hewitt marry her high school sweetheart. Kelly was the first shop girl I hired here at Dee Ruel. I've known her since she was only in high school, she is like family to me and has grown into the most beautiful woman both on the inside and out. Kelly and her sweet Logan tied the knot under a very special oak tree on her grandparent's property in Yemassee, South Carolina. The sky was blue, the bride and groom were smitten in love just like two high school prom dates and Trish and I were honored to be part of her day. Enjoy a few floral, paper and jewelry shots below.
