Celebrating life's special moments... and everything in between.
The jewelery from the Sea Unicorn shop is absolutely dreamy. The soft, romantic photography first caught my eye, but it was the petite collection of lockets, bows, trinkets and whimsical creatures that kept me smiling.

These vintage-inspired garters by Florrie Mitton Couture are Gorgeous with a capital G! I don’t think I’ve even seen garters looking this luxe. I’ll take 5 please! Don’t really have an occasion for one, but heck – I’ll make one… or five. ;)

These vintage style monogrammed pendants would be a fine touch to your outfit for any special occasion. They come in a variety of colours at various degrees of application. You can request that your pendant be sanded more or less to give it a certain appearance. Some are soft and rustic, while others are sharper and more round. It’s your choice! Each acquires unique characteristics from the special hand-stamped process. So precious!

This is the way that love letters were written and folded for delivery in 1818. These examples are by graphic designer, Amy Merry, who recreated them as props for the movie, Bright Star.
Pretty fancy folding…and I love the calligraphy on it. Perhaps a lovely wedding invitation idea?

Ashley Anna Brown recently won a contest for DIY Weddings hosted by Etsy and Martha Stewart Weddings…a well deserved recognition, if you ask me! These lovely birds are made with recycled vintage fabrics, and stuffed with 100% organic cotton.
Wouldn’t it be super cute for these little ones to attend your affair too? She is currently accepting custom orders of weddings in 2010, so contact her soon for a pair of handmade love birds! Other animals are equally cute and also available.

This beautiful cosmetic set with five pieces of laced bottles, was designed by Erin Dameron for Anthropologie‘s Penelope line. The bottles look vintage and feel perfectly romantic…
I can see so many items inspired by this look: clay vases as centrepieces, the beautiful pattern on the side of a bottle of sparkling water, that lovely die-cut pattern from the box incorporated into the invitations…sigh, this is one of those things I would buy just for the packaging :P

Music is a major source of inspiration for me. It puts me in the mood to accomplish many things. Without it… well, I can’t bare the thought. So I figured, whether these tracks act as your motivational playlist while you do your planning, or end up on the playlist for your actual wedding, I couldn’t do a inspirational blog without sharing some music. Let’s start off with a classic from 1961.
Etta James - At Last

You know what makes me feel cozy when the air outside gets chilly? A nice cup of tea or hot cocoa. So for a wedding gift or anniversary present this season, why not consider a sweet His and Hers mug set? Handmade, ceramic with raised typography = very cool, especially for a crafty couple who love all things vintage.
