After the Wedding

It might be a while before I am able to share pictures from my big day, but until then here are some snapshots of the aftermath that a friend caught on his iPhone. My event planner and floral designer were clearing the tables, but even in their unorganized state everything looks so beautiful. I love seeing all the flowers massed on one table, and my animal figurines seem so happy gathered together. It was such a wonderful day, and every image recalls happy memories. Here's one more that sums it all up...

It's Official

I'm married! I'm still recovering from all the festivities, but will be back to posting soon. Hopefully there will be some good pics to follow...

Happy Weekend!

Photobucket
This is what I'd like to be doing for the next two days. Relaxing on a beautiful bed, in a beautiful bedroom, without a care in the world. This is what I'll actually be doing...

Photobucket
... crafting like crazy, but in a much less organized and inspiring space than the one shown here. Ah, the wedding is approaching like a barreling train and there is nothing slowing it down. I can't wait for it to get here, but there simply is not enough time to get everything done. Oh well, what gets done gets done, and what doesn't... doesn't really matter, right?
Anyway, it's good to be back to blogging! I've been away for a while, but decided to hit you with a lot of content before the long weekend. I promise to keep it up going forward, so hopefully no more (or at least fewer) long stretches of away time from me.
I hope you all have a great weekend and that you enjoy some sun and fun. When I'm not making things or desperately shopping for last-minute things, I will be helping my lovely friend (and maid-of-honor) Ingrid with her going-away sidewalk sale. I'm so sad to see her and her family leave Philly, but can't wait to continue our friendship as she lives out there in sunny L.A. I have a feeling there will be many visits out to the west coast in my future... yay!
Have a great one, everyone!

Ted Muehling Jewelry

Ted Muehling makes the most gorgeous jewelry. Period. His handcrafted pieces (not just jewelry, but decorative objects too) are inspired by nature and showcase the beautiful stones and materials from which they are crafted. Now I love big, bold costume jewelry, but it sure is nice to rock a pair of delicate, precious little earrings too. That's why I am featuring some of his lovely dangling earrings today. My sweetie was so thoughtful to gift me with a pair of Muehling's turquoise berries for Christmas, and I will be wearing a pair of his perfect pink pearls (seen at top) on my wedding day. They are exquisite, but not too ridiculous of a splurge, and you will have them forever. You can't buy online, but his lovely eponymously named shop in NYC sells his wares, and in Philadelphia the collection can be found at one of my favorite boutiques, Egan Day. If you have the chance to stop at either store, be sure to peruse the also-fabulous pieces by Gabriella Kiss (who happens to make the most gorgeous engagement and wedding rings...)

Utopia Circus

As you all know by now, I'm kinda of obsessive about anything Jonathan Adler. And I happen to also love the circus. So these new additions to his Utopia collection are kind of awesome! I want them all - the acrobat, the muscle man, the lion tamer, the clown lady...

New Arcadia Studio

I've been eyeing New Arcadia Studio's super chic collection of barware over at Vivre for a while now. They've recently added some new patterns such as the bold floral prints on the rocks glasses above, which are quite lust-inducing indeed! Oh why can't Macy's or Crate and Barrel carry such distinctive and stylish items...?

Someday...

.. I will have a shiny pink front door, and a glamorous entryway with pink cushions and pink knicknacks! Ah, a girl can dream...
