Tying-the-knot Tuesdays

This was a banner week for wedding planning. Seth and I talked things out, plotted and planned both Saturday and Sunday. We made some fun decisions, interesting realizations and necessary purchases.

I ordered my wedding boots from Clockwork Couture. They are pretty normal and not all that wedding-y, but I have a plan. These are the boots.
I will be adding buttons, yo-yo's, beads, etc to the side, changing the laces to something more feminine and possibly adding some glitter. I think they will be awesome though. 

I also found the tights/thigh highs that I want my sister (maid of honor) and I to wear too. I haven't ordered them yet, but I am hoping to soon. They are from Sock Dreams and I think it will be awesome to have these hiding under my wedding dress. 

We also decided on some of the favors, decorations, etc, but you will have to wait until next week for that, because this Friday is officially the first WEDDING CRAFT NIGHT!! Yay!! I am excited to get started and have a great night with my friends and family making wedding stuff. So I will have pictures from that next week.

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

Image
"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

I decided once again this year to join Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist in a Halloween Party in blogland. This year though I decided to have an actual Halloween party and post the photos from that. So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl. Could you tell?  The back of me.  Charlene (Goddess), Chelsea and Rachel (Bee) watch me give Bobbi and tarot reading.  Amanda, Mike and Chris...just hanging out.  Charlene and Rachel still watching me do readings... I did a lot of them.  Andrew and Amanda haunting the food tables.  Look at me giving readings.  Our pumpkin chunking platform. Essentially we attack pumpkins with weapons.  Seth lining up a pumpkin for destruction.  Wow... those are some dead pumpkins.  Axes a...
