You May Kiss the Bride

When I was planning my vintage garden wedding, I was very disappointed in the wedding cake toppers that were available. I wanted something different and vintage, little did I know it would send me on a hunt, searching for just the right pair. It was two days before my wedding and I had just about given up hope. While I was purchasing something in a local antique store, chatting with the owner, she moved to the side of a cabinet behind her and there they were! The bride with blond hair, the groom with brown hair and a match for the tux! It was meant to be, they found me!

I enjoy being able to use them in my photographs for my wedding designs in my Etsy shop. I have had so many people ask if they were for sale and there is just no way I could ever part with them. So, I photographed them and made a wedding cake topper out of them!

Go to my shop to see more photos!

Bird-Chirping Weather

The baby birds are chirping and flying around our backyard. Now their nests are empty, so I’ve been making nests till they return.

My latest one is “Nest Inn Book”! I took an abandoned 1909 vintage book, hand cut a circle out of the middle and made a nest out of all my scavenged vintage finds to make a sweet little home.

Then I had a stack of circles cut from the book pages…I had to do something with them!

I took the circles, folded them like little petals and glued them together to make a ball. I made a medium and a smaller one also, to make a nice set for displays!

Now I had donut shape rings of paper from the smaller circles…I couldn’t throw them away! Threaded on a string they make a pretty cool banner and a recycled one too!

To see my "Nest Inn Book" go to my Etsy shop:
