Wedding Day Bliss

The Mers....
what a happy couple!
In love....
A vintage flower base...
Here are some more cake topper folks dressed in vintage attire....

he's got some serious "bling" !
The bride has a softer look....
The base made out of vintage buttons and ceramic roses that I made myself! xoxo
June is the traditional month for getting married, andI have a wonderful assortment of wedding themed gifts for that special day...Starting with cake toppers, available in my etsy shop....






There are little wooden boxes for favors at the tables......




They can be made with the Bride's special colors in mind......





With the date on the bottom! What a lovely memento......






Love is in the air....







Another favor idea....a painted stone with the names and date on it....








Why use placecards? How about these shells......









or handpainted rocks.....









These flowerpots are great for Bridesmaid gifts......or for center pieces full of flowers!











These little pots would also make nice favors filled with flowers and set at each placesetting....












Let's not forget the Fellas....a beautiful handbound journal in Nantucket Red ...My Son ,Paul, makes these.....He's a bookbinder HERE....

Jette Arendal Winther

Aren't these lovely? They are created by Jette Arendal Winther
I found them here
with all of the other wonderful things she has on her blog. I believe she uses a combination of vintage decals and handpainting.....
Love these!

Some pieces are stamped with what look like Indian textile printing wooden stamps.....


and then she does her thing......



There she is unloading the kiln.....




Looks like porcelain, but I'm not sure....you'll love her sight! Have a great Monday! xo
