Monday's my pick ... Flower girl

So, we had a lovely Sunday! I helped my sis try on some

wedding dresses! She plans to try on a bunch to get an
idea of what her favorite style is, then order a dress from
Ebay. That's what I did. My dress retailed for about $900,
but I got mine on Ebay (made for me) for $160
(shipping included!).

a cute dress for her to walk down the aisle in!
I absolutely love this from Fattie Pie:

My wedding photobooth...

I don't know if I've ever shown my wedding guest book. I had a photo booth at my wedding! It was soooo much fun! That was one of the favorites of my wedding from the guests. As far as my budget went I had to decide between a photo booth or video. I chose the photo booth. I do admit I wish I had someone record my wedding (I barely remember any of it). BUT, I absolutely love my photo booth photos. I have a copy of ALL of the photos.

Some of my bridemaids and friendsOkay fine. I admit it. The girl on the left is my sister and one of the guys on
the right is my husband...
Friends and family. Comments and photos got a little more silly as the
night and wine consumption went on... There was wine spilt on later
photos! So funny!

Hug Your Sister Week #3...

Just Something I Made has an assignment that I decided to take on. Hug Your Sister Week.

Beautiful. Funny. Serious. Sensitive. Giggle. Dorky. Smile. Concerned. Outgoing. Adventurous. Goofy.
My sister.

Arrested Development (See video below).

My sister is currently living in New Zealand with her boyfriend. He's a kiwi. While she was here for my wedding she posed for a few of my Etsy items.








That's my sister.

My favorite wedding gift...

I'd like to share the wedding gift that my sister gave me for my wedding. It is called a Devout Doll, by Devout Dolls.

It is a custom doll that is a combination of my sister and myself! I'm the blonde one!



I actually own that white dress! She got it exactly right! And, I always wear red shoes!
She even got our tattoos right! She hand painted all the tattoos and facial features by hand from photos she received from my sister.

These two photos show my shoulder tattoo and our faces! The tattoo is exact!




This photo is of my foot tattoo and my sisters ankle tattoo.



Please, check out her store! She has MANY different things to look at. AND, I've also just realized she has an Etsy shop! I love this doll!

Wonderful Etsy Artists

I purchased many things from Etsy before my wedding. Here are a few of the different things I purchased and enjoyed:

Scallop Wrap from A Stitch to Wear:



I brought this wrap to Santorini, Greece with me. It was so nice to have when it got a little breezy! I loved it!

Candyland Eyemask from ity-bity Bags:



This was a lifesaver on the plane rides and ferry rides. Our total travel time to Greece was 24 hours. Back was 26. Man! I LOVE this mask! So comfy!

A travel pillow pillow from SynetCreations:




This too was a lifesaver. I drooled all over this thing!

My kimono wrap from Ahpeele:



I wore this every morning with our beautiful view of the Caldera in Greece. I'd sit there drink my tea, watch the donkey's go by, and see all the amazing ships down in the water.

My wristlet purse from DrikaB:



I attached the wrist part of this purse to a strap and wore this over my shoulder on our whole trip (As shown in my EXTREMELY touristy photo). It was compact, durable, and held a lot! Wonderful buy!

Last, but not least, my beautiful vintage glass bead earrings from MISSFICKLEMEDIA:



I wore these on my wedding day. They were the perfect addition to my wedding outfit.

I really just wanted to thank these artists, because I really enjoyed ALL of these items. Thank you!!!

Weddings over, now I'm back!

Its been a crazy year. We bought a house, got married, went on a wonderful honeymoon to Greece, and I'm starting up my business. Now that all that over stuff is done or in order I can focus more on that last thing, my business. One thing I'd like to keep up on is my Blog. I love to blog, but have not had time. Please check back often, as I plan to add to this everyday!

First:
I want to thank Mellisa with Relish Bridal for including my bridal hat in her wedding blog. Please check it out: Absolutely Gorgeous

Thank you,

Chelsey
