... because this is how I am working about 50% of my day.
I'm not getting nearly as much done, but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Royal Wedding, The countdown begins...

To say that I am thrilled at the plans of a royal wedding is an understatement. I cannot wait to see how their plans will impact future trends. I pray that Kate is a More is More kind of girl.

The future Mr. and Mrs. attending a wedding together
(which is a big deal if you have been following this couple)

I remember watching Charles and Diana's wedding on the tele when I was 5.
Her dress - and her 25 foot train - was insanely over the top

I can't wait to see what is planned for 2011! Let the countdown begin...

Wedzu

Wedzu is an amazing new online source for indie and handmade wedding items. This site pretty much has it all. Products range from wedding attire to reception decor to gorgeous jewelry.

Here are some of my favorites - and as you'll see by the large amount, it was not easy to narrow it down.

How great would this tie be on a little ring bearer?!

Love this wedding dress.

I Didn't Buy It, But You Should

Designing our nursery was a lot of fun. As I mentioned earlier, we had picked the colors on our anniversary. My fabulous intern Beth found this wall decor. Since we had splurged elsewhere, I opted not to get the prints. Besides, I'm more into Italian stuff than French (although it is very cute).

I do adore the prints that are available on Etsy.
