sand and stone etsy treasury
I just made a new beach wedding treasury! Instead of going toward the more obvious blues (which you know I love) I thought I'd focus on the stone and sand on the beach! you can see the treasury here in all of its clickable glory.

Sage Green Stone Inspiration: River Rock Jewelry, Handmade Lace and a Photo Album


I was inspired to make this collection by Jenny from Authentic Arts - I love her  Pinterest boards - they're like breath of fresh spring air! Accompanying her river stone necklace is a unique lace covered stone I spotted on the front page and a handmade photo album that I'm tempted by.


I found all of these great selections through Etsy (see my favorites here).

Birch Trees, Razorbill Eggs and Natural Textures


I thought I'd go for a little sage green/birch bark inspiration today - there are birch trees in my backyard and in the fall their leaves turn golden and make a busy rustling noise when the wind blows that almost sounds like rain.  Top to Bottom:

Wedding Inspiration: Sea Urchin Wedding Rings, Seahorse Invites and a Really Cool Cake!



Now we're getting seriously nautical! These wedding ideas would be perfect for beach lovers or marine biologists. I love how the white icing on the cake looks like coral, and those sea urchin wedding rings would really stand out! Top to Bottom:


You can find all of these and more on my Vintage Nautical Wedding Pinterest board!

Wedding Inspiration: Yummy White Rose Cupcakes, a soft white Peony Bouquet and a Stunning Rose Cake!

 
 
Aren't these flowers all so romantic and gorgeous? I bet with a little practice and the right wilton icing tip, you could do the rose design yourself! Love the pale peony and rose wedding bouquet too. Top to bottom:

Lovely items by The Guilded Bee

While searching around for an item starting with the letter "A" for an Etsy Paper facebook challenge (post something starting with "A" by searching the tag "etsypaper"), I found adorable Apricot paper butterflies by a previously undiscovered etsian, The Guilded Bee. I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover this gorgeous shop! Here are some of my favorite items:


from top to bottom:
Primrose Yellow Baker's Twine - $3.49 for 15 yards
Pastel Blue/Foxy Brown Butterflies (handmade!) - $4.99 for 6
Pewter Blue Vintage Paper lace - $7.65 for 10 yards

The enigmatic unnamed shop owner describes herself as "a girl from the middle of America who likes to make things that delight the senses." - delightful indeed -  Even her photographs are gorgeous!

Two Cute Summer Dresses!



I love browsing ModCloth but I have to admit I've never bought anything from them! Many of their dresses are very short, BUT they have a "longer lengths" section and I think I might just have to splurge!

Left: Long Island Longing Dress ModCloth $134
Right: Flying Horses Dress ModCloth $184

Goodbye Cherry Blossoms, Hello Summer!


Right outside of my front door we have a HUGE ornamental cherry tree - it stand even taller than our two-story house - I stood right outside of my front door one sunny afternoon and took this shot straight up. When all the petals blow off of the tree, it looks as though it's snowing. 

Now, sadly, almost all of the petals have blown off the tree (and have been tracked inside by our shoes) but that means summer will be here soon, hopefully!

Today I'm meeting up with a friend who is back from school for lunch and hopefully getting some work done in preparation for my Papercrafting class this Thursday.

Nautical Bags I'm Coveting

So I'm a sucker for navy and white stripes - maybe it's my close proximity to the ocean (although I have to admit that on a day like today, the sky and ocean are all shades of gray!)

Here are some great navy and white bags I'm loving on etsy:
