It seems everyone we know is either getting married or having babies. With this, comes lots of gift buying and giving which is actually one of my favorite things to do. But then the big question always comes...what in the world do you buy???? Well, for two of our good friends, we found the perfect groovy gifts.
First off, one of our best friends from NYC, Maria, got hitched. We didn't think anyone would be able to tie her down but low and behold a younger man snatched up this Spanish beauty. Clay had a trip booked to go to her wedding in NYC the weekend of August 7th (I was grounded due to the pregnancy) but guess what....Gainesy decided to arrive in the world a few weeks early so lets just say we didn't make the wedding. BUM-MER! Since then, Clay and I have looked and looked and thought and thought...what can we get them??? Maria's an artist so we wanted something that entailed art but we also wanted the gift to have some sort of meaning....that would make them think of us. We finally ran upon this photo by Meredith Stone on First Thursday. A photo of a wall on 38th and Guadalupe right in our very own town. Austin is of course known for it's random graffiti walls so we thought this was very fitting for them.
We plan to get it framed, wrap it up and have it shipped to them as a surprise considering this is a VERY delayed wedding gift. Better late than never right?!?!?
Then, another friend from NYC, Nick Gelpi (a.k.a. Gelpi) is getting married in June. In MIAMI at that...on my birthday weekend! It gets even better...on Fisher Island at the Vanderbilt Mansion. We won't be missing this wedding...no chance a baby will be coming early this time! Gelpi is a unique cat to say the least (in a very good way). You can't help but love this guy! He is FULL of character and we absolutely adore him. Since we had to miss the engagement party in March which was in NYC (due to job loss and strict budget), we've been wanting to send Nick & Estee something fun and quirky to help express our pure joy over their engagement. Again, we've been on a search and finally found the perfect gift for them. Check these out...

L-O-V-E! How fabulous are these guys made by a company based in Austin called Plaid Pigeon. They are a great little something for that totally groovy person(s) and could be fitting for any occasion....baby gift, birthday gift, engagement gift, etc. Love them!We're getting geared up for the Kings of Leon and Band of Horses show tonight. Flutters are a rockin'...
