For You With All My Love

A few nights ago we teamed up with BHLDN to host a Valentine crafting party! Utilizing vintage notions from Recollection and lovely trims and decor from BHLDN, 25 lucky guests learned how to hand craft two adorable Valentine gifts taught by the fabulous stylists at BHLDN. Dionne taught the art of crafting paper fortune cookies, and Balushka showed the girls how to make the sweetest heartfelt card! Enjoy these pretty pics below from some of our photog friends who attended the event!

Bammel Lane: An Evening in the Gardens

Years before we launched Recollection, I can remember my mother and I visiting the Gardens of Bammel Lane and instantly falling in love with this quaint venue nestled inside the bustling River Oaks area of Houston. We were immediately smitten with this Old English Conservatory imported from London, and the impeccably kept grounds that surround it. Recently we had the opportunity to participate in their open house, assisting in the event design from the invitations, to the decor, and more! We were overjoyed to be able to showcase our vintage rentals at this hidden gem and hope to be a part of many more events at this charming venue! Please enjoy the gorgeous photos below by Archetype Studio.
