wedding colors! {first draft}

The boy hasn't seen these yet...he may run for the hills, but really- he should know me well enough to know that I love pink! I don't want anything to matchy-matchy {especially bridesmade dresses}  Also dreaming about kraft paper+ white {lace/doily}+hit of color for the invitations...vintage colored glass and white milk glass vases for reception decoration... 

{now back to the hard part- location for the ceremony and reception}

Organized Collection Sunday, crystal buttons

These are some beautiful vintage buttons that I bought last week at an antique store in Hopkins, MN {i finally found a good antique store near Minneapolis! it also had a basement full of vintage wedding dresses- can't wait to go back and start trying some on!!!} 

I have lots of new jewelry to post on Etsy today, but the site is being funny...oh, well- maybe the world is telling me to go outside and enjoy the sunshine! have a beautiful day...

YAY! IF pick of the week....

Is my illustration! You can see it below, but it you want to see it being {featured} on Illustration Friday, check it out here!

{a happy end to a crazy week}

Illustration Friday- "theater" + 100 posts!

Here is my illustration friday submit  for " Theater" - {I know its Thursday!} I had this ready to go on Tuesday, but I have had been running around like crazy this week. When things get insane at work, my creative + blogger impulses fly out the window...hopefully things will calm down soon {?} 

This is also my 100th post! I am thinking about doing a little jewelry giveaway in honor, but haven't figured out details yet....you have my word now! I am working on an etsy refresh- hopefully get some new items posted in the shop this weekend!

Anyways- I hope your week has been more relaxing than mine- enjoy my little birdies on stage, having their big moment! 

my little spin on the catwalk

I know that I have been a terrible blogger the past 2 weeks ! I have had lots of excitement with the engagement + lots of stuff going on at work! I am trying to get back to my normal schedule...

But I haven't been totally slacking! Above is the necklace that I made for my friend Becca of 2709 for her and Bonnie's  clothing line debut at Voltage tomorrow night! She will be wearing it with one of their signature dresses and it looks fantastic! 

Good luck tomorrow ladies! I am so happy for you and so excited to attend!  

My prince has come...

I found this charming fellow, hiding in a golden egg in a birdcage on easter morning! I'm engaged to my best friend in the world and am so so so happy! We are in the process of choosing the setting together. {so fun!} Its hard to choose something that you will wear for the rest of your life! The actual date won't be for probably 2 years, but I am so excited to start thinking of a totally creative, crafty, DIY wedding- send me your ideas!
