Hello Lovelies! Hope you are having a great morning so far!


I wanted to stop by and explain why I've been a bit m.i.a. and about the direction I am planning on taking Dandelion & Grey. 
First off, as many bloggers say, it's increasingly hard to post daily in the Summer. I want to be enjoying the stunning weather and spending time with family and friends :)

And as I get busier with styling jobs and exciting collaborations, it becomes harder to do the research involved with blogging daily. I want my posts to be thoughtful & inspiring and I also want to have time to read my favorite blogs! Something that's been harder & harder to do and something I miss dearly!

So I have made the decision going forward to blog mostly about my work and my inspiration. I will continue sharing my events, projects and shoots and I will be continuing with the At My Table series, The Lovely List and my Inspiration Boards. I also would like to share more behind the scenes of what goes into styling a wedding, event or photoshoot.

Not much will change except I won't be posting daily, but do expect to be blogging more often than not. I also will not be accepting submissions of any kind at this time.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Dandelion & Grey! I hope you understand and appreciate the direction this blog is going. I am always open to suggestions or ideas, so if there is something you would like to see or if you'd just like to chat, please send me an email!

xoxo,

I understand completely. And I'll still be around, when I'm not outside enjoying the summer sunshine myself!

In this economic environment, it is always wonderful to hear when work etc is picking up for someone.

Bon Courage!

Cheers!

Such a beautiful photo! I love shots inside the kitchen!

I am glad that you are taking a new direction with the blog and devoting more time to your work. I think as bloggers we learn so much from each other and eventually turn that inspiration into something wonderful! I know I will still love whatever you post in the future. Good luck and have fun! :)

Splendid Willow said...

Dear Erin, that is why I am coming here in the first place - to see more work and inspiration by/from you! You can't get rid of me!

And who wants to be sitting in front of a square screen anyway, when the sun is shining and the strawberries are ripe?

Hope you still have time to visit now and then.

Have you seen Kody? I am looking for him! (Will tell you more later).

Love always,

Mon
