Wow. I cannot believe I let my one-year blog anniversary come and go without an acknowledgment! Well I can believe it… summer wedding planning is in high-gear right now, and things are busy!
It feels like I’ve been wedding planning since I was three. I remember throwing elaborate weddings on the “lawn” of the Barbie dreamhouse. 
Ken was there, and Barbie, and all the members of the Heart family (score for the people who get that reference!). For those of you who are interested in more nostalgia, the Strong National Museum of Play has an entire wing devoted to dolls, including a great selection of members of the Heart Family.
My blog is the place I can share what I love with present and future clients and where I can embrace beautiful things, many of which are handcrafted by people whose creativity and talent make what I do that much easier. Thanks for your readership!
For nostalgia’s sake, here is a sampling of some of my favorite posts from the past year:
Tutus: Tulle Done Right! One of my first posts. Despite my love of the frothy little girl skirts, I’ve yet to convince a client to put a flowergirl in one, but just give me time!
Support Independent Artists: Poppytalk Handmade! My first discovery of this brilliant Etsy like marketplace of independent and eco-friendly artists. What sets Poppytalk apart is the focus on the romantic, and the “LOVE * We’re so in it” card gets me everytime.
Friday Funnies: Courtesy of the Office I really enjoy the sporadic Friday Funday posts, and The Office spoof of the YouTube wedding video is sure to get you cracking and tearing up no matter what is going down.
Mad Men Inspired Wedding Gowns The post that greatly increased my non-family and friends readership – believe it or not for months “Mad Men Inspired Wedding Gowns” was one of the top search returns for my website – and my favorite of my vintage gowns postings.
