Today I mailed several of these adorable Pirate and Princess Birthday Party Invites — how cute are these little swords?! Message in a bottle invites mail just like you see here — there’s no box, no envelope. Just put an address label and postage on the outside of the bottle and off they go! These are filled with a bit of sand, some jewels, a plastic sword and of course, the invite! I have another version available in my shop here.

Inventing Weddings is my new favorite must-read blog!
It showcases gorgeous inspiration boards that feature Etsy sellers and I am extremely flattered to be found in two of them:

 1. Little Red Riding Hood

2. The Edgy Red Ones

New in the shop!

I have been stalking Morelle’s store for a while,
and as soon as I saw this Mini Truffle in Blue,
I knew it was meant for me.

P.S. All of her bags ship FREE with insurance. Sweet!

Rebecca from the Ardent Sparrow featured one of my wedding programs on her very pretty blog:

Her store is equally as pretty!

Happy Wednesday!

Today was spent packing up orders like this one:

I especially love the bright colors of this invite, so I may photograph it and list it in the shop. I get a lot of orders for the Vegas Poker Chip invites and I think it would be nice to show it in another color scheme. On another note, once of my favorite Etsy sellers, prettylilthings, has added clothing and jewelry to her already ADORABLE store! If you have a moment, check it out. I’m sure you’ll see something you just have to have!

I am finally getting back into the groove! I am adding more items to my shop — programs, menus, etc. and hope to have a complete price list available soon as well. By summer, I would like to have BOTH of my shops and my main website  updated, as well as several new jewelry items for sale— I have so many goals for this summer, and I can’t wait to get started! Also, if you live in STL or Illinois, you should put the Strange Folk Festival on your calendar!  In fact, you may see ME, and my awesome photographer pal Christina as vendors this year! I’ll keep you posted.

I am back from my Florida vacation!
(I really miss the sunny weather, as it has been G L O O M Y here since my return.)

Check out this nut and bolt wedding band set from 51degreesNorth — how original!

This ring is so pretty…and it’s my birthstone!
