Timeless Paper

With the Bridal Show this weekend, I’ve got weddings on the brain.  Not just any wedding.  Amazing, creative, imaginative weddings.  Not your everyday type of stuff.  I found this yummy Etsy shop called Timeless Paper that creates these delicate paper elements that really add that special touch to any wedding.  They are gorgeous!

I’m curious, what would you do to make your event something unforgettable?

Super Sweet Halloween

I'm totally digging Pottery Barn's "sweet" costumes for Halloween this year.  I think Hallie just might need to be my little cupcake.

Ochre Love

I have a tendency to spend quite a bit of time on sites that I have no business looking at.  Anthropologie.com is no exception.  Every girl needs a little self-indulgence though, right?  When I saw that Anthropologie was featuring ochre accents, my heart leaped for joy.  I've been pretty obsessive about the color lately, pouring over sites trying to find ochre pillows for my couches, a lamp for my console, and wallpaper for my eventual closet-turned-office space.  I may have to save my pennies for this fabulous wallpaper.

Little Brown Pen

I have been rather obsessed with Etsy for the last month or so.  Ever since I opened my WhipperBerry Etsy Shop I can’t help myself from becoming enamored with all of these amazingly talented people.  I have vowed to never buy any type of gift at a store EVER! 

I stumbled upon this tasty little shop yesterday called the Little Brown PenJe suis amoureux {I’m in love!}  Ah, to live in France and be able to take weekend trips to Paris just to take pictures!!  Looking at these photo sets took me right back to that magical city.  What I love more than anything is how she groups them by color.  Genius!

Market Can’t you just see this photo set in your kitchen. Ok, I know my kitchen would love this!!  I LOVE open air markets, it’s another obsession I have in life.  But, more on that later!

Brooch Love

Call me silly, but when I’ve heard the term brooch in the past, it conjures up visions of my Grandmother and her mink stole.  Not exactly the look I am going for.  When I found The Brooch Boutique on Etsy I fell in love, and my visions of Grammy were quickly erased.  

This shop is run by a cute young Mom named Mette, who lives in Denmark with her husband and cute son.  She has a degree in Italian language/literature and ancient Greek studies.  Don’t you wish you could be her?  Educated, creative, can’t you just picture her sitting around reading classic Italian literature crafting beautiful flower brooches and sipping peppermint tea?   Ah, the life.

Needless to say, I fell in love and had to have one.

This is my tasty little morsel.  Isn’t it divine?  It has the power to raise any outfit to Grace Kelly level just by adding it to the ensemble.  Drool, drool.  You too can have a beautiful brooch from Mette.  Visit her shop, The Brooch Boutique, you too will fall in love!

Oh, and don’t think I forgot!  Congrats to Emily N. you are the winner of this weeks Divine Twine giveaway!  Congrats!!

Note Trunk

My Etsy find this week is Note Trunk, an old fashioned stamp shop.  These custom stamps would make such an amazing wedding or house warming gift.  Just wrap it with twine and some beautiful stationary, and you've got an incredible gift no one will forget.

Vintage Wedding Silver

Today I have an amazing little tidbit for you guys.  I found these fun gifts at Half Baked,The Cake Blog the other day.  We all know that I am in love with Etsy and all of the amazing artisans there and when I saw these on Half Baked, I knew I had to share the love as well.

These would be such fun Bridal Shower gifts or even decoration on top of the gift box.  Either way it would be a fun and quirky gift!  And, you know me, I’m all about quirky.  Visit the Beach House Living shop on Etsy and see all of their fun items.
