Mason Jars

It has become quite the task, collecting pint size mason jars. I have gone from flea markets, to yard sales, to auctions, and to craigslist to find old mason jars. Yeah, I could have gone to Walmart and got their latest design of canning jars, but that just wouldn't seem right, and not fun at all. 

I spent the last few weekends washing every single jar to make sure it was completely clean and free of any canning remains. The task is finally finished, and the jars are packed up nicely and ready to be used. 

Here is how it relates to the wedding, as you can see from the picture taken in my "staging room"-also known as the wedding room.

Lace-Covered Mason Jars, AGAIN

When the lace-covered mason jars were all said and done, I felt like something was still missing. 

After a few changes, I think I am finally happy with the jars, and I have finally figured out another use for those skeleton keys.

Where should we go on our honeymoon?

I think a little European excursion would be nice...

Maybe Venice again...?? 

..and Switzerland...Austria...and Slovenia??...I think we could swing it. 

I better get to Orbitz and start searching for those cheap airfares that don't exist anymore.

Here I am in Venice in 2006 with two of my future bridesmaids.
If I remember correctly, we were already a few bottles of red wine deep by this point...?

The Dress

Finding "the dress" hasn't been top on my priority list. Little girls are supposed to dream about what they will one day look like in their wedding dress...I wasn't one of those girls. Maybe it is for the fact that I was the middle child, between two boys, and being "girly-girl" was never an option. Well this past weekend,  I got to be "girly-girl". I went with my friend Megan to her wedding dress fitting. She looked amazing! Megan is getting married in June, a month before me, and I can't wait to be apart of her big day. Megan has been a long-time friend, and she convinced me to bring my mom along to her fitting-just in case I wanted to look at some dresses when she was done. Before I knew it, I had pulled about 10 dresses and into the fitting room I went. I tried on dress number two, and by golly, there she was...a little lace number.

Honestly, how cool is she??

Unfortunately, I think it is time for another haircut... :(
