its been a while...

it has been a while since my last few posts. everything in my world seems to be getting more and more hectic and stressful. BUT...on a lighter note. a few weeks ago i found a wedding dress. actually, not just a dress but THE dress. its AMAZING! super gorgeous! and yes, i totally cried like a girl when i first saw myself in it. but its just too AWESOME! and very me. streamline and elegant enough to hold to tradition. BUT with a bit of a twist that is OH SO very me. :) i mean come on, did yall really think i would end up with a traditional dress? no way. traditional is not in my vocabulary! and yes, its white. much as i would have loved to make everyones jaw hit the floor when i walked out in a purple dress, it is classic ivory. and KICK ASS. plus, we got to spend time with my parents, which is always awesome. for those of you that dont know this, my mom totally rocks. and dave and my dad went out on the town while we were dress shopping and had fun. plus, my little brother is basically my hero. long story short, i was very glad i got some much needed family time.

and now, i have the dress, and a photographer: who is totally great. and the caterer is stamped! so its a win-win-win situation. AND...im so glad the stress of all the big stuff is out of the way. i mean its going to be amazing, if i do say so myself. seriously, who doesnt want to get married in a beautiful and meaningful location, with a super fun dress, a great photographer, and delicious cajun food. yes, indeed i did say cajun! a sweet little homage to my genealogy. and i mean, i guess the groom is okay too.... lets face it, anyone who can put up with my cynicism, sense of humor, odd fascinations, outlandish personality, and my affinity for all things owls, is pretty much a saint. sure it kinda helps that hes cynical, has a crude sense of humor, fascinated with the weirdest things, and extremely, ridiculously, and hilariously impetuous. ya, im definitely lucky to have such a great best friend and future hubby :)

anywho, now that ive babbled away, lets get down to the fun stuff. since i havent blogged in what seems like FOREVER, you know ive found a TON of great new etsy finds, and i kept switching back and forth on what kind of theme i should go with, and the i realized theres just too much great stuff, and i didnt want to narrow it down today, so i wanted to share all the AMAZINGLY awesome things ive come across. just beware ive been really drawn into delicate florals and patterns and bold solid colored items lately--GORGEOUS! so...enjoy!
