I Look At This Big Beautiful World

I don't have a theme for my Etsy post this week ... I've just found a bunch of lovely things I would like to share with you :)

Lovebirds. How quaint :) They can be used as a cake topper or just for décor ... or even a gift! Contact .: RedLightStudio :. for more information.


Continuing with the birds, here is a wonderful statue by .: Middleburg :. The banner can say anything you like!

Okay ... I'm on a bit of a bird kick ... let's keep it going.

This boutonniere caught my attention with the colours and use of feathers. Send a note to .: myrakim :. to see about a custom order for yourself!

More blue feathers! This fascinator by .: Sweetsnlo :. is in high demand. Be sure to check out all of her designs.

Looking for a special gift for your bridal party? How about something uniquely them? These necklaces by .: dlkdesigns :. are sure to bring a smile.

More fun with words! Have fun on your own fridge with these magnets by .: Wheezies :.

How about this trendy guest book by .: enjibeck :.? There are so many designs and colours to choose from in the shop. Be sure to check them out.

I've been meaning to post about these great books by .: PittBerry :. for some time now. After you get your photos back, what better way to display them and forward on to loved ones?

This is another one I've been meaning to get up here! If you're looking for ties with pizazz, contact .: toybreaker :. These will take 'traditional' to 'WOW' right away!

And my favourite of the week ...

Stunning. That's about the only word needed for this necklace by .: christinebossler :. Drool!

Your Love Is Better Than Ice Cream

and cake.

But I have to say, these cakes are divine. The other day I was hoping for a scratch and sniff monitor ... right now I'm wishing there was a way for me to just take a little bite! ;)

Hey Love, Come and Talk to Me

At a recent wedding in August I was lucky for a couple reasons ... I was asked to do all of the stationery for a great couple AND at the wedding, the lovely .: Jennifer Images :. was kind enough to take pictures of everything for me as I was supervising another party.

If you'll indulge me for a bit, I would love to share the photos with you ... some have been featured already but most are brand new!



Jesara and Matt chose very vibrant colours ... it made for such fun in creating their invites! Months before the wedding, these are what were first created ...

Next we decided to do up some simple programs. The end result were crisp white bi-folds with the same fonts, colours and gerbera daisy accents.



Important to many couples now is finding a way to honour loved ones not able to witness the day. Jesara and Matt had a perfect verse and I was able to print it VERY simply for them. What they did with it really is the story here. The table, in my eyes, was exactly how it should be.



Jesara is known for wearing flip flops and wanted to bring them into the wedding somehow. This table is what she put together and I was more than happy to make the sign ...


And finally, I created a tri-fold reception menu for the wedding. Look at the way the tables popped!

One side had the menu laid out for guests, the other had the lyrics to their first dance and the third had each table number.



Thanks Jesara and Matt ... it was a pleasure getting to know you both better. And special thank to Jennifer for these wonderful pictures of my creations in use! :)

Take Your Dress From Off The Floor

So happy that the digital issue of my favourite wedding magazine arrived in my inbox! Especially since it's an Australian-based publication which means it isn't available here for quite some time. I thought I would share some fabulous wedding dress shots. If you would like any info on the designers, just let me know!

Reach a Hand to the Crescent Moon

This is a fantastic way to sample a playlist for an upcoming event or to just waste some time ...

It really quite painless to do and the best part is
that it's completely free! Go to .: Mixwit :. to have some fun with it. After putting together your tape, all you need is to add your email address and you're all set!

I'm Gonna Pounce ....

Etsy has a really cool feature called, "Pounce". When you click on it you're asked to choose whether or not you would like to view Undiscovered (shops who have yet to make their first sale) or Just Sold (shops who ... obviously ... have just made a sale). This week I wanted to feature some of those shops who need more exposure ... get out there and POUNCE on these ones! :)

.: MartaWeaverJewelry :. has introduced a new line of bling to Etsy. I love this dragonfly!

With the weather cooling down (and the fact that I actually had to bundle up the other day), this caught my attention. A funky scarflette by .: Feeting Frenzy :.

How cute is this purse?! .: textstyle :. is just starting out and has this hand knitted and then hot water felted handbag up for sale.

I wish I had a scratch and sniff monitor right now. This body oil by .: lioevilo :. uses 100% pure essential oils so it's sure to be lovely on the skin!

This notebook by .: mokeep555 :. holds pages of bamboo paper inside and comes in a handmade box!

A mini-watercolour painting of a place with special meaning is such a great gift! Contact .: birdbluff :. for more information.

.: bluetricycle :. has a wonderful concept ... contact them and you can buy artwork (like this earthy calendar) that YOU print. This means you select the paper, colour, how to want to assemble it ... what a great idea!
I had to choose this one to display as soon as I saw it. It seems .: mattdonders :. took a recent trip to Toronto. When he did, he thought our fire hydrants were amusing because of the colour :) What I found really cool about this photo are the Sarah Slean posters on the pole in the back ... she's one of my favourite artists.

And my favourite of the week ...

LOVE these invitations by .: rationaljarofhoney :. The real gem is the customized map on the inside. So fairytale-like!
