Although my wedding was almost (!) 6 months ago, I still love looking at wedding blogs. Here are a few pictures I have saved:

of a sewing desk. Bryan and I can’t seem to decide on one for our office (he wants white, to match our other desks, I am leaning towards something older and more, well, wooden. If that makes sense).  And until we get a desk, I won’t be able to sew. But. As soon as we do get a desk I need to find an excuse to make some invitations, because I need to do something like this:

Tulle, cupcake liners, paper…  gorgeous. Oh! Valentines day is next month… hmm… The ideas are a-flowin.  You can see more photos of Raya’s handmade invites on her blog, the paper pony.

On a side note, Brandy from Red Collar Prints has found herself with 2 of the sold out 2010 Linda and Harriet calendars.  She would like to offer you the $30 calendar for $20 plus shipping! Just contact her at brandy@redcollarprints.com. A lucky someone snagged it up!

New Years Eve Bryan and I took a walk around our new neighborhood. Which is actually my old neighborhood.

Almost 6 months later I am still in love with our wedding colors. (forgive the iPhone pic)

another nod to the fact that we are living the same life but in different places, this just shipped to me yesterday!

If you have not yet checked out Jessie’s blog, go! go now!

From the bride’s classic style, to the secret service groomsmen, to the bold necklaces on the maids, I loved everything about this wedding. Shot by the very talented Matthew Morgan (who has a new blog! Check it out!)

Funny story…

Last year, on December 23rd, I was mentioning (complaining) that I had nothing to wear to Christmas Eve. Bryan handed me one of my presents from under the tree and said “Maybe this will help” (or something like that). I opened it up and it was the perfect grey dress from Anthropologie. It fit perfectly and best of all he picked it out 100% by himself!  What a wonderful (then) fiance.

This year history seemed to repeat itself.

It was December 23rd and I was… mentioning… that I had nothing to wear to Christmas Eve. Bryan walks to the tree, grabs a present in an Anthro box with a pretty felt garland on it and says “Maybe this will help.” (or something like that). This time around I suspected what it was, a darling dress that I had seen on the Anthro website. Bryan had told me “maybe Santa will bring it for you” and I was so excited to get to wear the new dress the next day.

The box was kind of small, but it was only a dress so I didn’t think much of it. I opened the box and unwrapped the tissue paper to find … an adorable gold clutch! Well, I thought to myself, I can’t wear it but I can bring it along! However before I could say anything Bryan looks at the clutch and says “What the bleep is that?!” (he didn’t say bleep).  I realized that he was as surprised to see the clutch as I was!  Apparently he bought the dress, and paid for Anthropologie to gift-wrap it, and they accidently sent a clutch!  Since he hadn’t had to wrap it, the clutch lay undetected under our tree for a good 4 days! Bryan called them up immediately and although the girl was super sweet and very helpful, we were told the dress would arrive by last Monday. A few days after Christmas, but on such short notice what could we expect?

I have been waiting very very patiently.

But, although a week late (well, two if you count back from Christmas), today I received the dress! It is super cute, fits perfectly and I am in love with it.

Anthropologie, even though you sent me a clutch, and then took your sweet time sending me my dress, I am still very much in love with you.
