The Antiquarian Post Issue No.1

Thought you might like to know what I've been up to lately (since my posting has been so sparse!). 

I've been super busy over at Antiquaria, getting the first issue of our seasonal online magazine, The Antiquarian Post, ready for it's big debut. I'm super excited to announce that it's finally here and was featured today on Design Sponge. 

Since most of our time is spent on the mundane aspects of running a business, Bailey and I decided to start an online magazine as a creative outlet for all the inspiration swimming around in our imaginations. 

Hope you enjoy!

I just had to share a few photos from Jen & Mike's gorgeous wedding ceremony at the Santa Barbara Court House. I always forget how magnificent the interior of the building is. 

Congrats to Jenny and Mike.
