Besides the normal Vancouver-variety showers, my personal forecast has seen a lot of love and good wishes raining down from family and friends lately. Good thing, too, because besides feeling exceptionally excited and positive, my body has been a ruckus of problems. Luckily, I have found three things make me feel almost instantly better: platters of gourmet food set out at bridal events, [...]
Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for too much to list here, but this little guy takes the cake (don’t worry, Ash, you take the bride). I am realizing this Thanksgiving just how many wonderful children are in my life these days. It brings a magic to every holiday and a reason to [...]

Not to mention, flowering tree on red:
Out of New York come the prettiest things.
Wouldn’t these make great Christmas gifts? See more like this here by Oktak.
PS: Greek Fest photos still to come. My sister and I couldn’t make it upstairs for the download.

Etsy (my favourite party resource) was rather weak on the Greek front. If you are an Etsy artist, you should really consider this vastly untapped market. Since I’ve been to [...]

Our wedding invites are almost ready to be posted in the mail! What a Goldilocks-esque struggle it can be if you’re set on finding the just-right invitation of your matrimonial dreams. I have loved, hated, felt numb, dumb and now once again love what we’ve come up with. Heavily inspired by the work of Etsy-success unlesssomeonelikeyou, [...]

I bought this little greenhouse for my grandma, who passed away this year. Now it’s a nice reminder of her and the secret way she had with food. The difference between dried herbs and fresh herbs is a taste of life. A punch of joie de vie that will strike the ignition of your taste [...]

A little sneak peak at the ring pillow. I am pretty sure this isn’t normally a bride’s first concern when planning a wedding (especially before things like invitations), but when I saw this pillow on Etsy, I just couldn’t resist. If I could, I would wear it. And I can barely stand to think how [...]
