Le Petit Jardin

There is this FABULOUS little flower shoppe in Madison, Georgia that I found through a friend.  Not sure how many know about it.....Well, unless you're a bride.  Cause that's who's doing the flowers.  Oops, I told Callen I wasn't going to reveal any more secrets about the wedding (and I'm not) I just have wedding fever right now and am loving posting wedding stuff!  Not hers, just any weddings.

So anyway, we loaded up the car to head to Madison. All five of us, Jordan, Callen, Evey, Bennett and moi.

To head to Le Petit Jardin.

Oh my, how I love a garden shoppe.  Truly it just brings peace into my life.

And you know what?  It was a welcoming feeling!

Planning a wedding is not for sissy's as most of you know.

Anyway, I had to take some pics for you to ponder!

 OH I just HAD to have one of these. Are they not the cutest thing EVER????

 I love hydrangeas!

 there those dogs are again!

 Sold, I named her "Prissy" (Cooper needs a girlfriend)

 this is ornamental oregano.  We thought it was so beautiful!

 then Evey wanted to take some pics.  She's got some beautiful lips.  No lip injections in her future!!!

 and of Lil B who just couldn't take it anymo.

 Boo the bride

 and mom (the wedding planner)

Have a wonderful day y'all!!!

Let's see!

First of all, I need to apologize for my blog yesterday.  I vented when I shouldn't have, hurt some feelings, cried a little, and deleted it.  So, if you tried to read my blog yesterday and couldn't that's why.  I really should have never put it out there.   I was in "one a those moods" ya know????

So, we're gonna move on from that and move on to some other stuff.  Bridemaid's dresses I love, flower girls dresses, shoes, this blog is just gonna be just a mishmash of stuff.

Here we go!

 First, I think J. Crew has made it's mark on the "wedding" scene.  What a marketing genius they hired!

First of all.....advice to all you bridesmaids out there.  Start workin on those tan lines now if you're in someone's wedding that has a strapless dress.  That's the very first thing anyone notices.  Tan lines on a strapless dress are a big "no no"

 oh my

 this is lovely for the Bride's "dance" dress.  Not sure she could "get down" in it though.

Love the shoes.

 I love this and the back is fab!

 the back of this is fab too! (front?????) ho hum.

 awe,,,,is this not the cutest thing EVER?????

 and this???

 Sold.....Evey's wearing these for the wedding.

 Now, some of you may know this but if you don't I'll go ahead and reveal this fabulous little secret.

It's a new part of Anthropologie

I seriously would buy everything in there if I could

like this, is this not beautiful? (not the hat silly)

 Callen is just dying for this....

 she also want's this!!!

 sneak preview....someone I know will be wearing this (so if you're coming to the wedding I would suggest you not buy this)

 sneak preview #2, I bought this for the Bridesmaid's luncheon.

Isn't it adorable???? (well I think it is anyway)

 Okay, on to Evey's dress.  Mother made this for Callen when she was about 4 or 5.  It has been in a frame for about 15 years on a wall.  Callen wanted Evelyn to wear it for her flower girl dress, so we took it out of the frame.  It had blue ribbon throughout and so I took all of that out and am replacing it with pink ribbon.  It is too long so I (gulp) am going to cut it off at the 2nd tier and add the lace hem on to that.  My mom is either smiling down from Heaven at me or gasping.  I think she's smiling!!!  I'm so sad that she's not going to be here for this wonderful event.  Okay, no tears......

 Then, we are going to sew this inside of Callen's wedding dress.!!!

oh, now the tears!

why am I so emotional?

dang.

please tell me I'm not crazy for just having a mental breakdown.  I don't think I've ever cried so hard.....
I could barely cut through the tears.

have a wonderful, beautiful Monday y'all!
I'm gonna straighten myself out!

A Beautiful Sunrise

I was sittin here trying to think of something to write about, needing to get down in my art studio and paint and listening to Cooper (our dog) and our sweet neighbor's dog next door having a barking match.

I looked out to the most beautiful pink sky I think I've ever seen.

My camera didn't catch the beauty of it so just use your imagination.

Have a peaceful, beautiful Saturday y'all!

Gail K, and the Ring Bearer's Pillow

As promised I went back to Gail K and took my camera.  I just want to give you a glimpse of what you're in for if you go.  First of all, they're pretty nice, but they need more help.  You have to wait and wait.

Anyway, I went this time to get the fabric for my MOB dress AND......to get fabric for the

RING BEARER'S PILLOW.

I say that in all caps because I'm amazed at what is out there for the poor little ring bearer.

He deserves better don't you think?

SO, I'm making Callen's and Andy's lil guy one.  It may be a little "prissy" but hey, it's her wedding right?  I made one for Jordan and hand embroidered their initials on a large button.  Well, took the button off to turn it into Callens, tried to dye the silk and totally ruined it :(.

I just am not good at dying stuff y'all.

Anyway, here's Gail K:

and by the way, hey Gail R!  Hope you're enjoying your coffee my faithful reader!!! Great seeing you yesterday!

 see why I'm scared I'm going to be buried alive one day here????

 Now,,,,brides,,,give that Ring Bearer a decent pillow to carry.  It's important!

 I actually thought this was pretty

 And this is really pretty

 can you say "cheese"y? oh good Lord!

 loved this

 ARE YOU KIDDIN ME?

 AGAIN.... are you kiddin me????

and finally....what their lil guy will carry!

Have a beautiful Friday y'all!
I think I'm gonna play some golf.  I need a little more frustration in my life right now!!!  hehe!
