Hope you have an awesome weekend planned! Trey and I get to spend Saturday camping with my brother and some friends. He graduated college this week and we could NOT be more proud of him. Go, Doren! xo. Emma

This is by far my favourite feature you guys do! It’s so fun and interesting getting to see the behind the scenes stuff.
Also, that banana phone is amazing haha! 🙂
Have a great weekend!
April Everyday
Have a wonderful weekend!! I’m going to Europe so I won’t be reading you guys until June. 😀 (I know you wanted to know, right? hee).
Really excited to see what you’re going to do with the garage space!

I love that you and Trey are so into camping! I feel like it’s not something you ever really talk about but the little mentions here and there and the IG photos make me super happy. Camping Rules!
I love that kitchen space, it looks so cozy, yet modern very comfortable 🙂
lol inky hands, thats why I always tell my husband to do it hehe.

Working with you guys look like so much fun! Wish I could work there too 😉
I LOVE casual Fridays! All those dishes – crazy! So interesting to see your studio “behind the scenes” and get a glimpse into your working days. Love it xx

can’t wait to see the new workshop!
That awesome doodle reminded me, did you guys ever get my email regarding my cloth dolls? I thought Bella might like one. 🙂 kceh.storenvy.com
Cheers,

I love the water color painting! Have you ever shown the outside of your office and I’ve missed it? I’m always curious about the outside, since we’ve seen so many of the rooms. I’m sure it’s lovely!
Also, I should probably mention that it would be a gift. I don’t want to seem like some sleezy salesman. lol
Oh how sweet of you to hang my doodle on your fridge! I’m grinning from ear to ear. Thanks ladies! 🙂
Yay for Fridays!!! This looks so fun. Have fun camping!! xoxo
Looking forward to the videos..and that reader stuff is cute and so is trey’s phone..and my husband just spilled the ink on the floor few days ago… 😛

This week has been hard for a LOT of people! Must’ve been the full moon, or something… if you’re into that.. ANYWAY, I don’t know (/care) what baked good that is in that one picture, I want it.

Hi Casey! I’m not sure if we received that email. You can send me another one at: Support AT redvelvetart DOT com. -Jacki
how do we mail you guys stuff? i love snail mail!
Casual Friday posts are my favorite!
These posts are my favorite. It makes me feel like I am a part of all the fun (not so much the hard work, but at least we get a glimpse at it 😉 )
Here it is! 🙂 http://instagram.com/p/nJ4mP2EEX3/

oh man, thanks for this post. i love it! the sink full of dirty dishes. the banana phone. admitting that you didn’t nail the video– and then not giving up!! you guys are a big inspiration <3 <3
Seems like you guys have had an awesome week! I love seeing your snaps from what you get upto in the week. Oh, and that banana phone is the most incredible thing ever x

Hahaha that look on your face is HILARIOUS! Hope the second video works out better 🙂
What color nail polish are you wearing in that top photo? I love it!
Trey’s banana phone is awesome. Your office looks like so much fun to work at.
It’s adorable, thx!!
I get ink on my hands all day with the type of work I do (not always convenient to wear gloves) and oddly enough, hair removal works pretty well if used right away. We use this stuff called ReDuRAN Special by STOKO skin care, specifically for removing dyes. Maybe that would be helpful:-) Getting it under or around your nails really bites…No punn intended.
gorgeous photos! I love the one of Laura with those pretty pretty flowers! I can’t wait to see the awesome workshop!

SUCH a cute doodle. I’m always just so happy when I come here…
It was a rough week for me too…what gives?
Happy that we all survived though! And next week is bound to be better. 🙂
Super excited for the Q&A videos!
xo
I have to say, it’s so nice to see you guys have dirty dishes piled up, too. Haha! I love that you showed that. I mean, obviously you’re real people with real (messy) lives, but it’s easy to forget that when your blog and posts are all so idyllic and beautiful!.
I also love that you let us know you didn’t hit it the first time with the video! Just makes me love your blog more, and makes me more confident that I can present pretty, too, even if my life isn’t perfect.
Very inspiring. <3

I just LOVE this series!!
I’m loving the casual Friday series, and would love to see a Q&A type video!
But just as random side note, as a news anchor I would recommend running your microphones to hide the chord! It would give the videos a much cleaner look 🙂
Hey Guys! Sorry about the video mishap. I am a videographer, and wanted to share a quick tip! I see from the photo that you have your lav mics on the outside of your clothes. It looks a lot better if you feed the mic up under your shirt before pinning it to your collar. Then it is less noticable that you have a mic there! I look forward to seeing more of your videos:-)
I love how you show pictures of your worktime! I always find it so interesting 🙂

I have to say, it is nice seeing these casual friday posts! Sometimes it seems like you live in a little perfect bubble, and its nice to see the messy part!
Like you say, life should be a beautiful MESS!
This is my most looked forward to post of the week from you guys!
Love posts that bring some personal aspects into them!
Thanks for sharing little glimpses of your week!
I love that picture on the fridge! I love the smell of orange blossom! I just started my blog and I’m still trying to figure it all out – would love some recommendations or tips 🙂

This week’s Casual Friday post made me realize how glad I am you guys added this series! It made me go back and re-read all of them lol. However, where did Vol. 8 go? =P
That picture of Emma & Elsie is my absolute favorite. of. all. time. You two look SO g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!
XO
Hi Chelsea! You’re right.. this one should be volume 8. Thanks for noticing that! 🙂 -Jacki
Well now I’ll have the “Banana Phone” song stuck in my head the rest of the weekend… Worth it 🙂
Looks so much fun! x
sharon @ shasummerwine.
These pictures are so nice. I really like the casual theme!

I need that banana phone in my life! By the way, thank you for showing us a messy kitchen… it’s good to know that my kitchen is not the only one in the blog world that sometimes looks like that!
Happy weekend!

That photo of you two from the style filming is stunning! You’re both radiant and glowing, truly happy and content 🙂
Like many others have mentioned, this is by far my favourite feature too!!

That loaf looks so delicious! It would be gone in my house in minutes, just like the berry crumble I made this week!
The sneak peek of the workshop looks great! Can’t wait to see more! Congrats to your brother on his graduation 🙂 Have fun camping!

Love these behind the scenes posts! One tip for future Q&A segments – run your lav up under your shirt, then you can’t see the cords 😉 Can’t wait to see the final product!
I love this series! So fun to see behind the scenes.
I love that scalloped tumbler cup in the photos!! Could you tell me where you got it?
This is my favorite feature on the blog; so glad you guys added it!
I have a little idea for your Q and A vid… In order to loosen up and make the interview more natural, perhaps you should be doing something at the same time as answering questions. Like handsewing, knitting, painting, cooking etc. Something you do often in a place you are really comfortable. Nothing too involved and of course something you can stop momentarily while you are talking if need be. It might help to distract you and make things more natural, plus it helps if you feel like you don’t have to look at the camera the whole time.

P.s I have the same little subway tiles in my kitchen all the way over here in sunny Australia. Love them.
It’s from ban.do 🙂 -Jacki

That banana phone is ridiculously amusing.
Love these posts! However, just a note. I work as a videographer and would just give you a tip : run your lavalier cable under your shirt and then clip it on your collar, etc. It looks much neater and it’s the standard in the TV and video world! 🙂
