Happy 2009! I hope you all had a great holiday and start to the new year. To start off 2009 at Oh Joy...here are a handful of my current favorite images. Balloons seem to be everywhere lately {they're the new mustache!}, so here's a little ode to things that are round, floaty, and cheerful!
{left to right, top to bottom: Joanna Goddard's GORGEOUS engagement photos by Max Wanger, installation by pirajamaharaja, Dorthe Alstrup print, tissue paper puffs in Tim's home in the Dec 08 issue of LivingEtc, yellow puff from Liana's Big Sur wedding at Once Wed, heart balloon girl from Iefke de Roos look book via siagrafica, monsieur II print by blancucha, and balloons indoors by That Was My Foot.}
Beautiful images on an icy morning-- thank you!
