If I were one of your bridesmaids, I would really like one of these as a thank you present for addressing all your invites, or picking your great aunt Sandy up at the airport, or just cuz. Lots of adorable options over at La Vita Lola, all really reasonably priced. La Vita Lola also takes special requests if you have something special in mind.

I posted last year about New Ketubah's modern take on the marriage contract, and lots of you responded how happy you were to see a different take on this ancient tradition. Tsilli has just released several gorgeous new designs, and you're the first to know! I really love the sunburst one. I couldn't think of a better image for the beginning of a new life together. Thanks for the heads up Tsilli!

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and welcome to March! Only one month stands between me and springtime, and I cannot wait! In the mean time, we have 8 new inches of snow on the ground! Yippee.
I suppose I will bide my time searching for adorable handmade products on Etsy! Lucky for me I could distract myself for quite awhile over there... Among the many distractions are these handmade favors from Littleput. There's something so nice about a handmade favor (even if it isn't made by you), it just seems personal, you know? I love the rainbow of tiny boxes!

My love affair with turquoise renews itself every spring, and I'm always so excited to rediscover it. I have a couple of weddings to go to this spring, and I have no idea what I am, or will be able to wear. So instead of focusing on the clothes, I'm building the outfits around the turquoise tear drop earrings above from Anthropologie. Just as fun!
Also, I wanted to thank everyone for all the well wishes! I feel so lucky to have so many vocal, supportive readers. You guys give me the warm fuzzies!

Finally I can share my news! Yup, you guessed it. That's my baby! These sonogram things can be impossible to interpret, but this one's reasonable if you know what you're looking at. The view is sort of from behind and the baby is laying on it's side... you can see the head there on the right, and the bum on the left, with little feets tucked underneath. We don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl, it's too soon to tell, but we will find out when the time comes and I will let you know. In the mean time Dell and I are having fun thinking of names and planning a nursery. I have felt pretty normal actually, so far. I just knocked on my table, let's hope that keeps up! We're due September 8th, so if I take a little break from blogging around then... you'll know why!
In the mean time, it's back to wedding business as usual, it's a relief to let the secret out!

J. Crew seems to have their finger on the pulse of wedding color trends this season. I can't tell you how many brides have come to me looking for gray and orange or pink and gray wedding invitations. Someone's been doing their homework! I wonder if this means that yellow and aqua is the next hot invitation color scheme? Would not surprise me!

5eizen. I think it's pronounced "season". At least that's my take on it. While I'm not sure how you pronounce it, I'm sure I love it. From the lace covered button combs to the ring pillows. All good.

Happy Monday everyone! I'm looking forward to a big week, and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Found these amazing necklaces last Friday, and couldn't wait to post them first thing. These are some of my favorite "pearls" anywhere! Just enough personality and panache! All from PenelliBelle on Etsy.

My sister pointed me in the direction of Llubav this afternoon, check out these adorable ring pillows! Llubav hand tailors each pillow, customized for each individual bride. Love that.

Mari of Bel Canto finds and restores vintage jewelry from the 1930's to the 1950's and then gives it new life as gorgeous combs and hair accessories. These are a few of my favorites, but there were so many it was hard to choose. One-of-a-kind details like this make my day!
