get faced . mod book
Eric & I will be showcasing a few of our MOD books at this weekend’s Modern Phoenix Expo and here’s a peek at our latest design!!! These are our FAVORITE books that we offer from the super RAD Couture | Book. Also too boot…a proceed of the book goes towards a charity through their ‘Build A Better World’ program. We LOVE making a difference & giving back to communities whenever possible.

4 years dating + 4 years married
Holy moly!!! Where has the time gone?. Today we celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary!!! Some of our close family and friends know our story but for those of you who don’t here goes…We got set up on a blind date and I secretly have blonde hair!!! Dang it…the cats outta the bag. Yes that’s right. When we met I was just 19 and Eric was 24. After our first ‘real’ official date (not the blind date) I knew that this relationship would be different. It was like we had been dating for years and it had only been hours. I was so comfortable and felt so special with him. Awwwwwwwww!!! And to this day we both still debate on what movie we had seen that night. I say ‘A Beautiful Mind’ and he says ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’. Maybe I should check the book I made reflecting on our first year together. I saved EVERY movie ticket stub that year. I know…I know…I’m a sap.
We had a long engagment, bought our very first brand spankin’ new cars (scions), signed on my mom’s fixer-upper house and started designing our wedding after I graduated college in 2005. Phew!!! Now that we can look back on the big day there’s so many details we might do differently but at the time we were sooooo proud of ourselves for planning the entire experience. We spent countless late hours after work creating our invitations on a large work table at an old architecture firm. We constructed everything that had to do with paper or paint. It was fun, very rewarding yet very exhausting. I kept saying ‘we should have just eloped!‘. When we revisit our photographs from our wedding day we can’t help but giggle. Our style has changed sooooooo much and keeps evolving every minute…sometimes that’s good and sometimes it’s overwhelming. All we can say is that we absolutely can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us crazy kids…it’s gonna be AH-mazing!!! So we’re now kinda wondering what our 10 year anniversary pics will look like?.
So we have a little challenge for you all…where in Tucson did we first meet each other on our blind date? Oh come on you gotta know this! Leave your guess in the comment box below…good luck! Too late…Maggie (Eric’s mom) guessed correctly!!! We first met at an Ice Cats Hockey Game (University of Arizona team). YAY!!!

It’s our favorite time of year the 6th Annual Modern Phoenix Home Tour + Expo is this weekend April 10th & 11th. Eric and I always attend the home tour as we have never been disappointed in all it’s yummy mid-century modern architecture scrump-dilliicious-ness. But….drum roll please……this year we are hosting our very first booth at the expo!!! Purple Nickel style all the way….Ekkkkk….so EXCITED. And get this…we’re teaming up with the clever-nisity of DWR (design within reach) for superb stylin’ within our booth lounge.

And we’re gonna be rollin’ out complimentary modern headshots also known as ‘get faced‘ throughout the day. So come sign up!
just friends
So we’ve been following the fabulous-ly creative Erin + Randy two new friends of ours for awhile on internet photo-land. Or shall we say ‘stalking their blog!‘…cause yeah they’re so stinkin cleaver. And we decided it was finally time to meet face to face!!! Yeah…that’s right. So we planned a fabulous double date dinner in Vegas @ WPPI and hit it off. Meaning ‘just friends.’ Through our laughter and story swappin’ we found out we would be in their neck of the woods two weeks later. We knew we had to meet up with them….AGAIN.
So we did.
And this is what happened.
We are so happy to have met you two and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us. Maybe a screen printing party should be next on the agenda…hint…hint!
