Missing you from down low

What better way to distract my wistful self than some retail therapy, you say? I agree! Here are some today’s finds from mTs’ fave site, Etsy.

Quick post from me today, on the eve of a big day tomorrow. MM ships out tomorrow, so we are spending the evening hanging out and doing everything possible to distract ourselves. Not sure how it happened, but web browsing and wedding stuff ensued.

Whether you opt for single or multiple ear piercing, or whether you’re considering having your baby or child pierced, here are some tips that may make the journey a little easier.


Lately I’ve been receiving a number of brides who have come to me after dealing with what I call “bootleg” decorators. The ones who promise the world, but then come up so short on their wedding day, it’s really kinda sad. Here are some questions you should really ask your decorator

Blogging becomes difficult when you’re up to your arms in paper, ribbon, tape, etc. Oh, and when you’re doing taxes in your ’spare’ time, too.

Things are a bit easier at the moment though with Shelley’s invitation complete. She came to pick things up yesterday afternoon and seemed very happy with the result! I’d love to share a few pictures of her creation with you …

I Love Him

It’s about time we focused on what the groom should wear on his feet, no? Men generally have it easy in the attire department but there is absolutely no reason why some thought shouldn’t go into things. And why not show a little bit of that great personality with shoes?

I’m back! Playing catch-up like mad so blogging is taking a back seat for now. I had to get this post out though …

Since I find myself in need of a new bag, I thought I’d share some awesome ones off of Etsy with you!
