Happy Friday! and Other Delights

The end of another week, and I wish I was on my way up to a little town in Massachusetts to go antiquing for some vintage odds and ends for my wedding. However, with fall just around the corner, a few trips out to The Golden Nugget flea market will do just fine!

Here is some goodness from the interwebs:

Seriously amazing handmade gorgeousness.

Tracy Reese, William Rast and Dear Cashmere sale here.

Two more days of awesome at Brimfield.

Deep dish pumpkin pie? Yum!

I adore British photographers; they have great senses of humor. Check out the fourth photo in the second set.

I'll take all of them, please.

A sweater clock? You bet!

Fabulous Florals

When I look at pictures like these, I miss my days as a floral designer. It was so fulfilling to create beautiful things that made people smile every day. I loved to work with people who had unique visions and wanted something different than the 'status quo'.

I'm all for a DIY project, but before you consider arranging the flowers for your wedding, consider a few things. First, it takes time not only to arrange the flowers, but to process as well. And this isn't something you can do in advance. Flower arranging is a last minute project. I have spent thirteen years putting together bouquets, and an average wedding takes me about 20 hours in total to complete, and that's if everything runs smooth. If you frazzle easily, I don't think it's for you. Save yourself the anxiety and go with a pro.
