I just received some fantastic news….Katlem Design & Invitations was chosen to be featured in Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book of Preferred Vendors. For those of you not familiar with Style Me Pretty, it is a wonderful website and blog chock full of valuable information for anyone getting married…..and it’s oh so stylish as well. In fact, you should check it out now. 
It’s one of my favorite blogs and I go there regularly for inspiration and to just read about other fine weddings from around the country. The Little Black Book is a sub-section of the blog where they list preferred vendors hand picked from around the country. Each category is limited to 3 vendors and Katlem Design & Invitations was lucky enough to be chosen for the Newport, Rhode Island category. What an honor!! I am flying high this weekend!
Thank you so much to all my wonderful clients over the last couple years and to Jen for all her amazing insight and help!
Today we had the pleasure of finding a new tree farm in Tiverton, RI where we could walk around the farm and tag our tree. We’ve always gone to the same tree farm in Portsmouth and unfortunately this year there weren’t too many trees to choose from so we had to branch out and find a new farm. This is important to me because when I was growing up my dad & grandfather had a tree farm across from my dad’s house and sold xmas trees to local residents. It was a great way to pick out a tree back then and I still like to go to a tree farm to pick out our christmas tree.
We found Boland’s Tree farm, located at 97 South Lake Road, Tiverton, RI today. It’s set pretty far back off the street and once we parked we made our way into the barn. I knew we found our place as soon as we went in! The barn smelled of horses and was decorated for the holiday season inside. They even had an area with goats and pigs. They take you on a hay ride out to where the trees are and then you are free to roam about and pick out your tree. We even passed a horse just enjoying the sunshine and nibbling on some grass on our way out to the trees. It didn’t take us too long to find our tree and at that point we just had to yell out “Danny!” and a nice gal came over to tag and measure our tree. (really, anyone will come by and tag/measure your tree if you call out “Danny!”….guess that’s the way it works there….kinda cool!)
Back at the barn they have hot chocolate and hot cider available free of charge and they also have an assortment of wreaths and ornaments for sale. All in all it was a great time and a great way to pick out our Christmas tree! I can’t wait to head back there to pick it up!!
Here’s a picture of Jay with our tree for this year…..nice!

I came across a great Etsy shop the other day and wanted to share it with you. They make baby wipe cases in all sorts of fun color combinations to jazz up and otherwise not so glamorous item! I chose the Travel Case in Michael Miller’s Carnival Bloom for a friend who had a baby a couple months ago. She has colors for both boys and girls, different sizes to choose from, and she’ll even make you a custom one if you don’t see one you love! Not too shabby! Just another way to add some style to your life.
Check it out for yourself!
Thanks for reading!
