Eunice and Daniel’s Wedding

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Oh. my. goodness.

I don’t even think I can fathom a more original, beautiful, more delicious wedding than that of Hello!Lucky’s Eunice and her husband, Daniel.  Going through their wedding’s slideshow on Martha Stewart (yes, their wedding is not only featured in MSW but is on the cover!), it was if my brain was going to explode from the overload of gorgeous ideas.  With every click to the next image, there was yet ANOTHER fabulous and well-designed wedding idea.  This was truly a designer’s wedding with every detail well thought out.  I love the fruity color palette, her ruffled dress, the backdrop of the ceremony… it’s all perfect to me.  I am totally in love with this wedding! (can you tell?)

More info on the wedding at the Hello!Lucky blog.  Eunice also blogged about the wedding on The Bride’s Guide here and here.  DIY Project how-to’s from the wedding were generously shared via here.

Mechanical Paper Dolls

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

I absolutely love these mechanical paper dolls by Oh My Cavalier!  Found in her big cartel store, but also check out her etsy shop as well.  I’ve been longing to own some of Julianna Swaney’s work for some time now, and these animals are quite lovely indeed.

Lovely Clusters

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

There are plenty of online handmade and vintage shops on the web, but this one caught my eye.  Lovely Clusters allows you to not only shop by category, but by color.  The yellow section is really gorgeous!  There is also a really lovely selection of items, a good balance between paper, jewelry, vintage clothing, photography, and the like.  If only I could shop till my heart’s content…

Feathers and Flowers

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Hello Monday!  This week starts off with some major lusting from me over every single item from The English Dept. 2010 Bridal Show, but especially over all of the gorgeous handmade headpieces (via Twigs & Honey).  Why do I live during a time when these can’t be in regular fashion?  I truly know that I was born two centuries too late.  For the entire slideshow of the bridal show, click here.

Sian Keegan

Friday, February 5th, 2010

I’ve got to to share these little stuffed animals from textile designer Sian Keegan with you.  Dear lord, are they cute or what!  And she also does commissioned ones of people’s pets.  I would give my left arm to have little versions of my two cats.  I’m seriously dying over here from cuteness overload.

Regency Valentine ~ Hello Handmade

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Check out this gorgeous valentine from Hello Handmade (found via 100 Layer Cake).  My favorite parts are the incredible calligraphy (by the very talented Betsy Dunlap) and the wax seal.  Definitely something I wouldn’t mind receiving this February 14th.

Brass Bows

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

With being inspired by the upcoming new version of Emma to appear on Masterpiece Theatre (I am such a MT fan) and wanting something vintage to wear on my winter coat, I’m searching Etsy for vintage brass bow brooches and pins.  Here’s a few that I’ve come across that I’ve already put on my favorites list:

(special day by riyzedesignz)


(J’Adore Locket Pin by JuicieJulz)

The only problem I see is… which one to choose?
