Tying-the-knot Tuesdays

This was a crazy productive wedding week. We had our first official wedding craft night. My crazy craft team (Cliff, Seth's mom Sarah, Niki, mom, Shmoo, my friend Julie and Seth) and I got an amazing start. Sarah and Niki got every single favor bag stamped. That's 200 favor bags!! They totally rocked it out. Cliff assembled some of the chain maille flowers for the bouquet. Mom, Shmoo, Julie and I made a bunch of the pieces for the bouquets. And mom got a start on the paper strips that will one day be paper chains. 








I am so flippin' happy that we got so much done. It really relieves my mind a bit that we can get this much done in one night. I feel like we can get things done, and beautifully. This wedding is going to happen and it is going to be gorgeous. 

We also got calls out this weekend for catering and for the photobooth for the wedding. I know there are ways to set up your own photobooth and such, but it is worth it to me to have them come set it up and run it and for me to be able to just enjoy it. The booth company we wanted has our weekend open, so I am hoping to get a deposit to them pretty quickly so that is done. Seth is handling the catering, so I am letting that go. He can handle it. 
We are also talking about the actual ceremony and music, and all that fun stuff. It's coming together.

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"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

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
