Happy 2/11 from Etsy!
Today is a special day for me. 8 years ago today my husband asked me to go out in a very old-school, chivalric, and just plain romantic fashion. I of course made fun of him because that is my way when I am uncomfortably basking in the warm and fuzzies. 5 years later he returned the favor by mercilessly mocking my response of “of course” to him popping the question. Now, whenever he tells the story, I have to listen to him boastfully telling our friends, “She didn’t just say “yes;” she said “of course.” Despite my complaints, this is just one of his many personality traits that reeled me in.
Anyway, today is a day where I can especially embrace my sappy side and that includes listening to Taylor Swift and browsing on Etsy. Check out SilverMade Studio’s on Etsy for some especially sweet baubles.
Soul Mate Personalized Brass Bangle - $35
Look After My Heart Pendant - $36
Intertwine Sterling Silver Ring and Keychain - $35
Thank you to my wonderful clients – the 2010 couples who are in the last exciting stages and the 2011 ones for the fresh anticipation – for sharing their stories and letting me embrace my sappy side at least a little bit every day.

Oh Good Cuteness… Etsy to the Rescue on a Manic Monday
Thanks to a gal pal for sharing a link to Mollusa’s Etsy page. These clutches and ring pillows just make me happy. Art in the form of a purse makes even a manic Monday more zen-like. Happy shopping!

What’s in a Hanger?
Ok, I know what you’re thinking, “Sure, spend more money on useless bridal merchandise.” But, hear me out! Think about the artistic and beautiful dress shots professional photographers capture…. do you really want your dress showcased on a plastic hanger? Just think of this blog post as a suggestion to your friends and family as a unique shower gift that will last forever in your wedding photos! So check out LilaFrances‘s Etsy shop where she is selling these personalized, silver lingerie and dress hangers for $17.50 plus $5 shipping. 10% of all her proceeds go to Stand Up 2 Cancer in honor of the artist’s mother.

Delicious, Delightful DIY Smore Kits – Seriously, Need I Say More?
This is one of those amazingly versatile ideas that will make recipients happy as a Holiday gift, a wedding favor, a welcome bag addition, and even a “just because” gift. You just use clear acetate boxes for each of the ingredients; then, tie the whole things together with baker’s twine. While I would love to take credit for this idea, I found it on Twig & Thistle, yet another fabulous Seattle-based DIY inspiration blog (I swear there is some sort of creativity supplement in the water there.).

Gift Ideas at Navy and Lavender
I stumbled across Navy and Lavender this morning and just had to share!
I’m always looking to borrow ideas from store-bought welcome bags for DIY welcomes, and Navy and Lavender fills their welcome bags with some very nifty treats!
I absolutely love their gift concepts for your bridal party. They offer gift baskets for all your bridesmaids… from the perfect hostess

These gifts would even work perfectly as mother of the bride and mother of the groom gifts!
The men in your bridal party are not overlooked. Check out this tee-time gift bag:
And, last but not least, you have to see Navy and Lavender’s signature “favor cakes.” Perfect for a smaller party or a shower.
