Hi, I'm MARY, a full-time graphic designer and freelance floral and interior stylist based in Winter Park, Florida. My husband Tim (the city's Sustainability Officer) and I are currently working on our first major home renovation to our 1970's cottage in the heart of Winter Park. Sustainable living and simplicity are the driving forces behind our passions and design philosophies.

Feeling very inspired by stylist Kate French lately. I love this little dinner party here. The paperwhites look adorable in that cross stitched sack. I also love the look of the simple French linens on that dark wood table.

It's a whopping 27 degrees (F) in Central Florida this morning! I know that doesn't sound like much to you in the northern half of the U.S., but its outrageously unseasonable for FL to be this frigid. I don't have very many cold weather clothes and right now I'm wishing I had a pair of these wool socks to slip into my boots!

I really like this dress from J. Crew's Spring 2010 Wedding Collection. However, I'd like it even more if that butterfly sleeve wasn't just on one shoulder. I wonder how much it would cost to have another made, so the sleeves would match...?

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is search for a new planner. Finding that one perfect book that will keep me organized and sane throughout the year is priceless. Which is why I am ecstatic to welcome my newest sponsor Pretty Chic San Francisco. This fantastic little notebook/planner shop was started by Richelle Goodloe, a Design Director for Pottery Barn. All of the Pretty Chic books are printed on recycled paper and produced and bound in San Francisco, California making them eco-friendly and made in the USA. Do check them out when you get the chance!
Interested in becoming an Olivet sponsor? Rates are priced just right for small businesses, crafters and artists. Shoot me an email at marystonecypher@gmail.com for a fact sheet.

I was flipping through some of Meg Smith's work and came across this lovely wedding. The ceremony under the tree with the benches is perfect. There's such a homey, intimate feeling.

I'm a mess over red bedding lately. Particularly reddish sheets, not solid though. I really like this gingham set from Peacock Blue. There's also a very cute red stripped arrow set at Anthro, styled quite nicely in their latest catalog.
