On Thursday morning Justin and I woke up to find the trunk open on my car. Upon further investigation, Justin noticed that nearly everything in my console was gone and everything in my glove compartment had been gone through. Lovely way to start the day, yes?
First I checked with my bank to make sure no money had been stolen or used -- it hadn't. Then we contacted the police. Within 10 minutes, we...
Anjolee Jewelry Review
Last Thursday I received a surprise in the mail. It was a box containing the Anjolee heart pendant I had won earlier this month. I was thinking to myself if I could wear it to the Fox with my newly acquired native birds dress, my day would be made!
Anyway,...
Etsy Dress Finds
Knowing how expensive and time consuming dress shopping is for one's wedding, I decided to share my wedding 'find of the week'. I am absolutely IN LOVE with these beautiful 1950's vintage dresses I found on Etsy.
If you are as much in love with the 1950's...
Music Compilation
I know that when I was getting married I had a hard time finding music that would fit the moment just right. Check out this list of music choices from Project Wedding if you need some help. While I don't agree with all of their choices, it is something to get you started. (See my post here on my music pet peev...
A Busy Week...
Last week Justin and I had a very busy week including a meet-up on Wednesday night with the creators of the NPR radio show How to Do Everything. I don't know what exactly we were hoping to learn how to do. However, we did learn how to eat fried donuts as dessert with caramel on top. Yum!
That particular night at the meet-up Mike Danforth offered Justin and I (as well as a few others) some free tickets...
Anthro Haul
I can never resist sharing my awesome finds from Anthro., but really can you blame me? Anthropologie is not the cheapest of stores, but what they sale tends to be more 'artsy', 'creative', and EVERYBODY (well, mostly females) loves it. Justin loves that the clothes...
Favors or Cake Toppers?
Check out Rue la la!
I think some of these swarovski crystals would be such a fun cake topper or to use as reception decor. Besides, I can hardly resist anything sparkly!!!
They also have some really fun macarons that are bright and colorful....
Fads or Awesome Ideas?
Just out of curiosity, would you have all of your wedding photography taken with an iPhone and edited with Instagram? What about playing your favorite musician singing songs from the jazz era? It's crazy what you discover when looking at wedding sites. Who does this?!
My biggest concern is that the couple who chose to have their photos taken with the iphone may someday regret that they don't have...
A Love Story in Pictures
I came across this earlier today, and I just wanted to share.
Go check it out. You won't regret it....
Pet Peeve - Ceremony Music
I have gone to two weddings in the past few months, and every wedding I go to the couple has chosen a pop song to walk down the aisle to.
WHY!?!?!
It is soooo annoying to hear the beginning of an awesome song and have it cut off, because someone has finished their walk down the aisle.
Repetitive songs may be a slight exception if you plan and cue it just right (i.e. during a refrain skipping to...
The Baguette
I wasn't going to post about this, but we made French bread!!! Julia Child's French bread!! So how could I not?!?! We are not done perfecting the process, so I cannot actually provide true critique on the recipe itself. BUT WE MADE BREAD!!!
Let me just start...

Just in case you were interested, Amazon currently has a wide variety of jazz music up for grabs at the low price of $.69 a song. Go check it out if you are trying to build up your music collection, preparing a wedding song list, or just want to know what is availab...
