Obsessed.

I just came across my new favorite Etsy store - Brookish. She and I share a favorite book - Pride and Prejudice. I need all of these things:

Every time I think of Mr. Darcy, I imagine Colin Firth. That's okay, right? Because I have always had an innocent little crush on him. In my opinion, he made the BEST Mr. Darcy. In vain I have struggled. It will not do.

The whole Mr. Darcy proposal on a dish towel? YES PLEASE!!!

I just don't think it gets any more romantic than this. Seriously. Why did I not use this quote in our wedding ceremony? Talk about a missed opportunity!

If anyone feels like sending one of these items along to me ... I can't say I'd mind. :) These little somethings have been a tiny ray of sunshine in a day spent at home with the tummy sicks. And now ... back to bed.

Love!

Another beautiful and fabulous Etsy find!  I have been trying to decide whether or not to have a little clutch bag on the day of the wedding.  Then, I fell in love with this baby:Check out that gorgeous silk dupioni lining!  Sadly, it's $95 and I don't think I want to spend that kind of money right now.  And to be honest, I'm not really sure that it would look right with my dress.  But...maybe for the rehearsal dinner?  Unique and beautifully made!  You can check out the designer's Etsy store right here.  She really has the most gorgeous little bags!  

Ring Pillows, Part Deux

So, lately I have seen in multiple locations - bridal magazines, WeddingBee, etc, this adorable and unique alternative to a ring pillow:

How adorable is that?  Plus, you can customize it to say whatever you want...perhaps our names and the wedding date?  Afterwards, it can be used as a Christmas ornament.  It suddenly seems much more useful than a pillow that will never be used again.  What do you think?  I'm loving it...

Ring Pillows

I'm having a really hard time figuring out what to do for a ring pillow.  I think that part of the problem is that I have found this super, duper, really amazing one made by British artist Anna Whitford  and I have just become obsessed with it.  Isn't it amazing?  She uses metallic leather and silk dupioni.  The problem is that it's insanely expensive.  According to her website, the ring pillow is priced at 49 British pounds, which - according to today's currency conversion, is equal to $98.2334.  And that doesn't include the cost to get it here from England.  This seems like an awful, awful lot of money to pay for a ring pillow that will only be used once.  

But - check out this adorable little change purse that she makes, also!  Bridesmaids, if you're out there - I really wanted to purchase these for you as one of your bridesmaid gifts, but...I can't afford them.  I'm sorry.  So take a peek here, and see what you're missing.  I think they are to die for!!!  

Anyway - I guess I still haven't solved the problem of a ring pillow.  I have actually found several beautiful ones on Etsy, which doesn't surprise me - what a fabulous place to find, well, everything!  Matt claims that if I give him $100, he can make me a ring pillow that looks just like Anna Whitford's, using a regular pillow, some Christmas ribbon, and a pair of scissors.  But somehow, I'm just not buying it...
