Over the weekend Justin and I began working on something exciting for the wedding!
Excited yet?! We a...
Sneak Peak
Invitations & Sam Flax Review
After my wonderful find of vintage stamps, I was sooo excited to finish my Save-the-dates and begin my invitations! I have to admit that just being excited doesn't get you very far. Justin and I began looking at our paper options on Friday afternoon and we decided to use a linen paper in our wedding stationary. We tried printing our Save-the-date on both white and cream cardstock. Then my heart...
Another day at the Anthro Store
While Anthropologie has always been my favorite store, only recently (this year) have I been enjoying it just a bit too much. *shrugs* Justin thinks the clothes at Anthropologie are well made, so he had no problem buying me a few things in the sales rack over...
Cheaper Ways to be a Bride
Since I began my journey in bridedom, I have found a variety of ways to make the wedding day cheaper. Unfortunately, not all of those methods could be incorporated into my own wedding. I suppose it may have helped had I been researching long before actually being proposed to. (I had at least 7 years!) However, I decided that I would have plenty of time between the proposal and the...
Postage Stamps!
I swooned over the images from Martha Stewart (and the like) of wedding invitations covered in vintage stamps, but as of Monday I thought vintage stamps were out of my reach. I contacted multiple stores who were completely unhelpful. I sought advice on google, and I researched the postage sellers that they mentioned. None of it was helpful though, because they all wanted more money...

- Heard back from a company about obtaining postage for as much as 30% under retail cost!- Rehearsal dinner dress = 85% complete!- Registration list = started.- More decorations were obtained...- China completed: cups = 87% saucers & dessert plates = 84% plates = 51%
and finally...
- The Princess Bride + My...
Yay!

China, China, & China (Not the Country)
Why is that the weekends seem to go by sooooooo fast?! Just as you start to pull your life together (or wedding), the weekend ends and you are back to work again. It never fails.
The majority of our weekend was devoted to garage sales. While we did get a large assortment of tea cups and saucers, there was one find that just blew me away. One lady was getting rid of a $3 JC Penny blue blanket...
Mandy's Melt Down
What a week! And it's already Wednesday!
I'm still hunting for vintage stamps. Someone at my alma mater posted that she had a box of stamps she wanted to give away, and I am (sooo) hoping that I was the first to respond asking for them. I've also e-mailed a few stores around the Atlanta area in hopes that they can help (even if that means giving me another lead).
In other news, I freaked out...
A Love that's Warm and Bright
Who isn't loving this cooler weather? I won't lie. I am ready for warm drinks, blankets, a fire, and a good book!
Last week was rather exciting and a little busy. Justin and I went to the Fox on Wednesday night to see Wicked with his friend Edgar. It was not quite what I was expecting and yet exactly what I was expecting. The story of the wicked witch was enchanting and I loved how The Wizard of...
