{Things We Love}

December is flying by! Where is all our time going? Everyone is bustling about preparing for the holidays-- at least, all our friends at Farmington seem to be! We've been set up at the Farmington Country Club's Yuletide Market for their four day marketplace, and we've met some awesome members and vendors. Two of our friends, Meg Reunion and Dickie Morris, have spots in the Market and we absolutely love the projects they are working on!

{These cute Ditty Bags are handmade by Dickie}

{Available in all colors and patterns, Ditty Bags are divine presents for girlfriends, sisters, mothers-- and yourself!}

{Meg Reunion creates these gorgeous frames-- some of them are too fun to put a picture in!}

{And, of course, our little set-up at Farmington-- we have all our cards, for holiday, baby, and everyday, available!}

There are only a few days left before holiday season begins in full force! Are you ready yet? All of the above finds are available online-- visit Meg here and Dickie here. And please stop by our website for more inspiration and holiday finds as well!

Happy Tuesday!

{Sneak Peek} Baby Shower Glamour

Wow-- December is flying by! We're coming off a busy, but exciting weekend here at Jennifer Carroll Events. Sunday morning saw us team up with our lovely friends from Pat's Floral Designs and Jen Fariello Photography to throw a glamorous baby shower soiree for our very own Jennifer!

We took over the Jefferson Room at Farmington Country Club and transformed the space into a luscious pink-and-green fête. Inspired by all things dainty and feminine, the shower incorporated textured fabrics, vintage baby details {think prams and cradles}, and a sophisticated biscuit bar luncheon, as well as traditional shower festivities {games such as baby bingo and "Guess the Celebrity Mommy" were a huge hit}. Family and friends gathered to celebrate the newest member of the community in style!

{gifts were scattered throughout the room in prams and cradles to add an element of surprise}

Check back in soon for a full post {with Jen Fariello photos!} of Jennifer's shower. You don't have to wait until your next wedding to attend a fabulous event! There's always a chance to add a hint of glamour to everyday celebration-- and that's what we love here at Jennifer Carroll Events!

Happy Monday!

{Inspiring Ideas} A Swanky Baby Soiree

Happy Sunday! The past week has flown by-- probably because of all the holiday cheer swirling in the air! As much as we love preparing for December festivities, we've also been setting the stage here at Jennifer Carroll Events for a special celebration of our own this weekend. While we don't want to spill the beans without some gorgeous event pictures to display, we can give you a peek at what's inspiring our designs this week...

{gorgeous lace dollies add extra sweetness to any design!}

{prams are divine, and pink ones are even better for the tiniest girlie-girl}

What could we possibly be planning? Whatever it is, you can be sure it will be glamorous!

Psst-- did you know that our holiday cards can be custom printed with your own, unique holiday wishes? Whether you love to jot down a jaunty "Happy Holidays from the family!" or a longer, in depth note, Jennifer can include your text in a set of holiday cards! To order, visit our Etsy shop!

{Wouldn't this card be darling with a customized note already printed in the middle?}

Enjoy the cooling weather! Happy weekend!
