Wedding Bells!

Here's a little glimpse into my life over the past few weeks. Wedding planning! So wonderful.

My most recent addition to all the special wedding treasures! Love them.

We're getting married at The Trolley Barn in Atlanta, Georgia. It's the most adorable, perfect little place for us. We can't wait!

Craft projects and decor collecting galore! So so fun.

Oh my goodness, I am having the time of my life. So blessed to get to be marrying my dream come true. And so blessed to have such sweet friends and family surround us with love and excitement! We have so much to be thankful for.

Bb is for Blouse

Here are some images of the little Girls' ruffled blouses that I made for part of my senior portfolio. Inspired by that good ol' vintage circus imagery, these little blouses are fun and full of personality. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed making them!

Thank you times a million Caitlin Betsy Bell, for the photos!

Mail Call!

It came! It came! About a week ago I ordered this lovely 1940's Rex Fifth Avenue Flapjack Compact from a seller on Etsy. It was actually an exact replacement of a compact I had purchased at a local antique store about a year ago but sadly lost not long thereafter. I just love the dainty little design on the top and the fact that the compact is so big. I'm just so glad to have "it" back!

Some fun history: This compact dates back to the 1940's, during WWII. The company was able to meet war restrictions with this compact by creating a non-metal case. Made in the USA. Hooray! I'm a happy girl.
