Veils, veils, veils

I just added several veils to my Etsy shop that are ready to ship, so no waiting if you're in need of a veil asap. Enjoy!

Birdcage veil

Illusion tulle blusher veil

And my favorite... a convertible blusher/headband tulle veil

Love that beaded cashmere shrug? It's by Elizabeth Dye... a b-day gift from the hubby last year.

New piece in the Etsy shop

I forgot to blog this, but I listed a lovely and simple new piece in the Etsy shop yesterday:

Dream

Snowshoeing

Posted on | Monday, November 30, 2009 | 1 Comment

Last year, Matt got showshoes for me for Christmas and we finally got to go out yesterday. It was so lovely outside in the middle of the forest and surrounded by snow. Indy had such a wonderful time too. I think she felt right at home and we let her run around on her own for a little while. She is of course, much faster than we are in the snow. We were only holding her back:

Indy was very distracted and only wanted to go play.

Indy hears something...

"Must bury my face!"

"Must bury my face, again!"

"I see something!"

"I'm a happy dog!"

Whew! Tiring but so much fun... until next weekend!

Thanksgiving 2009

Just a few photos from Thanksgiving...

My sis got a gingerbread house kit and this is what is was supposed to look like.

Ours looked like this because we were impatient and didn't wait for the frosting to dry.

So sad...

Making faces...

Until next year!

Oh! And there will be a brand new dazzling bridal belt... stay tuned!

New project :: Mixed media framed painting

2 Comments

I have to mix it up at times and release some creative energy using different mediums. I just finished a little painting for the Etsy shop. It is part of the Twigs & Honey "Haven" collection that I have been neglecting for too long. The piece is hand painted and embellished with vintage leaves, silk flowers, and other bits. It comes framed in a shadow box style frame. Perfect gift for yourself or someone you love. Enjoy!

Cutest little girl

Elizabeth Messina has a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l family. I always love seeing her gorgeous girls photographed in the most beautiful way that only Elizabeth could do. Earlier this month, it was her precious Jasmine's birthday (happy be-lated birthday!). I love these photos of her in all her cuteness:

And yes... she's wearing a twigs & honey hat in the middle picture... and yes, that is her on my website homepage. I can't get enough of her and you can see more on kiss the groom blog.
I talk with the hubby sometimes about how we wonder what our kids will look like in the future. Matt hopes that they get my skin (tans, doesn't burn) and my dark, thick hair... I hope they get Matt's big green/blue eyes and height. We're both hoping they get Matt's fast twitch muscles (he was a hurdler) and my endurance (I ran distance) so that we could have the most awesome 800m track star. Aw... we shall see. ;)

Jetsetter

I've visited the Jetsetter branch of Gilt Groupe a few times and it really makes me want to plan a romantic getaway with the hubby. I know... we just got back from Istanbul, but that was traveling and exploring... not relaxing. Next trip we go on, I want to kick my feet up and relax with my honey. There are some very good lodging deals on Jetsetter. Luxury hotels with deep discounts. Still spendy, but if you're going to splurge, might as well get the discount. If you're more into splurging on travel than clothes, Jetsetter might be the ticket for you. Here are some current sales:

Hotel de Crillon in Paris

The Lodge at Torrey Pines, Southern California

Some upcoming sales:

I think this would be a great place to get deals on romantic getaways for special occasions, a honeymoon, anniversary... or just to escape. I'm telling the hubby. *wink*
