{wedding wednesday} vol.2

I simply love color and it seems that the latest bridal style does too!  What better way to make a lasting impression.  I mean, the color of these shoes really pop against the white gown.  I really wish I would have thought of this 2 years ago.  If I had, I think I would have chosen some gold glittery heels.  I had the traditional white, white turned out beautiful, but this would have been so fun!  I do love my white shoes more now though, because my mom and I had to search everywhere (and drive a long distance) to find the perfect ones that I had envisioned.

handmade beginnings

I think this book would make a sweet gift for a friend or family member once you heard they were expecting.  It would allow the glowing mom-to-be to nest to the fullest.  At $24.99, it’s very reasonable and you can get it here at Anna Maria Horner’s site.

These are just a few of the cute little projects in the spiral-book.  One of the projects even offers a how-to dad’s bag!

magazines to envelopes

Aren’t these the sweetest and greenest envelopes that you’ve ever seen?!  I seem to think so.  I just love sending letters to family and friends in these one-of-a-kind handmade envelopes (by me).  Who thought magazines could be so useful.


Check out the newest section in the shop and be sure to order by Dec. 15th to ensure that they get to you by Christmas!

Enjoy,

{wedding wednesday} vol.1

My love for weddings all started about 3 years ago, when I got to plan my very own.  I’ve always loved to go to weddings and my mom actually is a silk flower wedding designer, so I’ve always been around them.  But, something changed when I got to plan our wedding.  I began gathering all sorts of inspirational images from magazines and websites.  Then I compiled them into a book with notes (we’re talking in great detail).  Now, after being married for a little over 2 years, I still find myself inspired by wedding imagery and all that goes with it.

So, I thought that I could share all things about weddings that inspire me in {wedding wednesday} posts!

What better way than to start the first {wedding wednesday}, than with photos of our wedding…

We are simply in L.O.V.E with the 1920’s-1950’s era, so naturally our wedding would reflect that.  We had everything from Zoot Suits to Swing Dancing… it was so magical.

cookie swap 2010

I’m so excited about this years 5th Annual Cookie Swap!  We are expecting 15 participants, so that’s 15 dozen cookies each – equaling 180 cookies each!!!  I’ve already heard a few of the ladies saying that they have already began baking!!!  I will probably start Thursday and hope to finish by Friday.


I plan to try a pumpkin cookie recipe… thisone to be exact. It seems super healthy and easy (considering that I will have to make 15 dozen of them!)

I will go buy the ingredients tomorrow and hope for the best.  Have you ever done a cookie swap before?  If so, I’d like to hear about it.
