The Big Day

 

    

Some shots from the wedding.  Looking at these... I'm sorry it's over!  So much fun!  Photography by Neels de Coning. Flowers by Margaret and Cattails.

We're back!

We're back from Ireland, and the trip was amazing! I'll try to put up some additional pictures as I get settled in.  In the mean time, I'm looking forward to posting here more regularly!!

We're Married!

It's official! We're married, and we had THE BEST time.  We're going to take a few days to get away, but I promise to post some additional pictures when we get back. 

My Dad and my Aunt Jo made these signs out of old siding, and Ithought they looked so charming drying in the sun.

Sparse Spare Bedroom

         

      

         

Martha's Good Things For the Home (Fall 2007) is inspiring me to get my spare bedroom together.  We currently don't have a head board (or curtains, or rugs...or any coziness for that matter).  And of course - because of wedding activities - we'll have a ton of people staying in there over the next few weeks.  I recently bought these curtains in an effort to jazz up the space.  (I'm bummed that anthropologie doesn't carry their line of curtains in the store anymore.  I hope I like them in-person!!)

Mood Lighting II

I can't seem to stop thinking about alternative lighting ideas for the wedding (like these candles in a birdcage from Housemartin).  I'm trying use other things besides flowers for centerpieces at the reception - and I think this would be perfect.  Back to ebay for me.

Mood Lighting

I've got to find some of these apple baskets for the wedding - ebay here I come!  via Garden Rooms.

Acorn Boutonnieres

 

Good thing Theo is such a good sport - because I'm definitely leaning towards an acorn or pine cone boutonniere for our October wedding.  Image from Michelle Rago. (Have you checked out this woman's portfolio??! Beautiful!)

The Big Move

      

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post! But we've been so productive: We moved into our new house! I love this place, and I can't sleep at night for dreaming about the endless possibilities (Furniture arrangement! Fabrics! Paints!).  For now it's a sea of boxes.  And I'm so excited - there's a Farmers Market down the street. I'm definitely going this Saturday. (Photo CountryLiving.com)
