Wintery Sunset by the Sea...
Instagram Spotlight no.4
Hi everyone! I'm super excited to share three new Instagram accounts with you today. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love the inspiration, travel, food and beauty found on Instagram. Whether it's seeing the world through a frequent traveler, finding a beautiful photo style to inspire your next shoot, or simply finding something new to make for dinner, there's so much to see on Instagram.
My first share today is the account jade_melissa curated by Jade Sheldon-Burnsed, a Portland based artist. I absolutely love her style. Her Instagram is filled with delicious coffee and treats as well as beautiful flowers and some of her artwork. And be sure to check out her Tumblr for more gorgeous photos!
I discovered the next feature while looking through Jade's Instagram account! That would be the delicious account of linda_lomelino. She bakes and photographs the most beautiful sweets I've seen. She has three books out already, and you can read all about them and get her recipes on her website Call Me Cupcake.
Today's final featured Instagram account belongs to wedding venue expert, Marianne of riveroakscharleston. Even if you're not one to "oo and ah" over other people's wedding photos, you'll still find so much inspiration from this account. Floral design, interior decor, travel, sweet treats, this site is a feast for the eyes. You can find out more about Marianne and her talents on the website.
Please be sure to visit and follow today's three featured Instagram accounts, and tell them I sent you. If you're not already following me on Instagram, click here to go to my page.
Thanks for stopping by today. If you have any Instagram accounts you think I should follow, leave a comment below and a link. Thanks so much. Have a lovely week!
Valentine Printables from Easton Place
Hello, friends! It's February already. Here in the New England area Mother Nature is really showing us she knows a thing or two about snow. Looking out at my garden offers both a beautiful and a very dramatic scene.

To brighten things a bit, I've decided to offer some sweet (free) printable Valentine's Day Cards for kids or for those who are young at heart. Click on the link below the photo to get your downloadable file. Then just print on a heavy card stock and cut out. You can attach them to a little bag of sweets, slip them into your child's lunch, put them on your co-worker's desk, or mail them in an envelope!
I hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far. If you decide to print the Valentine Cards, post a photo on Instagram and tag Easton Place! I'd love to see it.
Branding Inspiration: LIFESTYLE by kate
Hello everyone! Today I'm launching a new pre-made logo in the shop and I thought you'd like to see the mood board I created to go along with it. Every year, I begin to get anxious for Spring mid-January. I've not been a fan of Winter, ever, and with each passing year, the lack of love becomes more obvious. I start day dreaming of the garden in full bloom, vases filled with floral pompoms and the sound of honey bees in the back yard. So for inspiration for today's fresh-made logo, I pulled up a photo I took last Mother's Day while I was visiting the Harbor View Hotel on Martha's Vineyard. If I could hand pick a bouquet for my studio, it would look just like this one. Shades of pinks, greens and a touch of yellow... perfection!
Peonies, Pink Daffodils, Green Hydrangeas and Lilies... Perfect!
With all the wonderful Spring colors as inspiration, I designed "LIFESTYLE by kate" logo. It has clean lines, a personal touch from the hand lettering, is modern but classic... much like this bouquet!

If you're interested in purchasing this logo and it's other web elements, you can find it in my shop. As with all of my pre-made logos, if you want exclusive rights to it, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss availability! And of course, if you would like me to design a logo to your specifications, I'd be happy to work with you. I currently have one spot available in February and two openings in March.
