No CommentsMia Von Mink’s Garters on etsy
Posted in: accessories, etsy, fashion, Fun finds, shopping, Wedding Fashion
Unique and stylish garters seem to be one thing that’s hard to find for weddings. Even though the garter is never seen until it gets tossed into the air, I would still want my garter to be full of style. Mia Von Mink’s Garters are just that. I love each and every design she sells in her etsy shop. She will even custom design a garter for you! Be sure to stop by her etsy shop and see what she has to offer.

Posted in: accessories, etsy, fashion, Fun finds, shopping
Etsy is such an amazing place to browse when you have a free minute. I always like looking on there for up and coming talent such as Tina, from Sweet B Papers.

Beautiful handmade garters, ring pillows and boutonnieres grace the shelves of this fun online shop. The boutonnieres are simply equisite and can be kept as keepsakes after the celebration. Be sure to check out her shop and see all the fun things she has!

2 CommentsThe Perfect Plate
Posted in: Fun finds, I love..., registry
When I came across Rosanna Inc. glassware on Elements of Style, I was completely smitten. Although smitten is a bit of an understatement. Put it to you this way, I wanted to buy the whole collection! Rosanna’s website makes things hard on you too, because instead of clicking on “add to cart” like most online shops do, her website has you click on, “I’ll buy it!” which is exactly what I was saying to myself as I was browsing around, making it all the harder not to actually click on the phrase!

Besides having tremendously food worthy plates, here are some of Rosanna’s other positive aspects:- You can register for these lovely dishes!! Add that to your wedding registry, I know I would!
- Their Mexican glassware is, as they say: “earth-friendly tableware that’s recycled and recyclable, in interesting shapes and intriguing colors — all while creating sustainable living for an artisan community.” You can’t beat that!
- Their collection Portrait of a Young Artist, features the drawings of Rosanna’s ten-year-old daughter, Francesca. A percentage of the sales from this collection will be contributed Rosanna’s local Seattle public school’s art program, which has recently experienced drastic cuts.
- As if all the beautiful dishes were not enough, Rosanna has a blog which gives great tips for entertaining, recipes and more! Be sure to check it out!
I LOVE these plates!! So hard to pick a favorite but these are at the top for me!As you can see, besides having beautiful designs, Rosanna is all about helping mother earth. Please visit her website for more amazing products.

No CommentsNoaki Jewelry on Etsy
Posted in: etsy, Fun finds, jewelry, Wedding Fashion
I love finding fun and unique jewelry on etsy, and Noaki’s shop is just that. When I discovered it a few months ago my first thought was, ‘Wow, what great jewelry this would make for a wedding’, but the more I browsed her shop the more I wanted pieces for my own! Noaki’s jewelry has a vintage flair with a modern touch. As it says in her shop title: I seek imperfections, the scattered objects on the sand and surprises of tucked-away bazaars — the heirloom pin, the smooth pebble, the whorled piece of driftwood.
Go and have a look. I’m sure you will find something you love!
