One could call me a Bag Lady and I would take no offense...I {heart} bags!
And these Mercado Global bags in Red Envelope's Inspiration Market are no exception. Stunning.
I love that they showcase the skill, design and craftsmanship of indigenous artisans of Guatemala as well provide the opportunity for these women to craft these beautiful bags and support their families while sharing their art with the world.
Be sure and check out the other products featured in the Red Envelope Inspiration Market including the Eco-pillows by Alexandra Ferguson that were spotlighted here on GetMarried earlier this year! I told you they were cool...
Cheers!

There is definite power in the flower this year.
As Claude Monet once said,
{ I must have flowers. Always and always. }
I am in OBSESSED with all of the flowers popping up across fashion, home decor and of course, weddings! From bold to ditsy to watercolor to bontanical. Fresh, flirty and fun!

If the Earth truly laughs in flowers, then this is one happy place...

I love fresh flowers but I also love paper so I am digging the concept of The Paper Flower Shop from West Elm.
Handcrafted from paper, these blooms make the perfect home, event or wedding accent...and they will never wilt!
I hear they are expanding the collections throughout the year with nine seasonal varieties. What a wonderful thing to look forward to as I browse the already inspirational shop of West Elm!
Cheers!

I've been on a quest to find the perfect chalkboard...and stumbling upon these roll-up chalkboards from Wall Lab on Etsy made my day!
I love the old school look with the wood frame and ring pull. AND it has a LEDGE! Yippee!
How great are these rubber-tipped ends to protect your walls from scratches?!? You can even pick a color! Love.
Perfect for a menu, seating chart or just good fun signage anywhere!
Now to just perfect my chalking skills...
Cheers!

I have an affection for silhouettes. Such great modern heirlooms to have!
So when I found Simply Silhouettes of Portland, Oregon and their silhouettes, they were a must share item as these go beyond your wedding.
In addition to cake toppers, Simply Silhouettes also have the most adorable framed silhouette options (even for your pet!) along with pillows, chalkboard signs and plates becoming the most memorable event accents and keepsakes. Great gifts.
Cheers!

Happy Friday!
And how happy are these hand-painted bowls. I am so excited about my discovery of The Bocket Store on Etsy! What a great way to end the week...
Sometimes there's nothing better than creating a modern, new look for a vintage piece. Each dot is hand painted with love, no doubt. So fresh and cool. I want one...or two!
Dot. Dot. Dot.
What's old is new again...beautifully.
Cheers!

Be still my heart.
A lover of horses and childhood collector of Breyer Horses myself...this is genius. So happy to have found you - Equine by Lauren on Etsy.
Not only are these bookends the perfect accessory for my office...but what wonderful accents to an equestrian-inspired reception!
Centerpieces. Guest Books. Dessert Table. Cocktail Bar. Different breeds, different colors. Endless possibilities. So cool.
Cheers!

I am a pillow fanatic, and when I saw this one from Betsy Jarvis Urban Textiles on Etsy, it reminded me of my favorite wedding gift I received nearly 19 years ago! It was a pillow from my sister very similar to this that said "Happily Ever After." Proof of longevity for a pillow with perfect words.
So happy to have found this...truly, madly, deeply.
Cheers!

Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE pillows. Especially those that are unique and personalized. I believe you can never have too many! And to me, pillows are often art & keepsakes - in addition to comfy-cozy.
Truly, Madly, Deeply is one of my favorites phrases. Passion in the simplest yet most romantic terms.
Ideal gift (even to yourself...you deserve it!) Check out more of the vintage-inspired designs by Betsy Jarvis on Etsy.
Cheers!
One of my favorite shops on Etsy...Barn Owl Primitives. The signs are adorable and the colors, sayings and distressing is perfect!
Any of these would be such a charming detail as a back drop to any a guest book or cake table!
Here is my first Barn Owl Primitives Dr. Seuss-inspired sign that hangs in my office that I

I
these pillows today and everyday! The pillows by Cat Studio are amazing. Always a conversation piece. The most perfect gift to give - and receive!
Each pillow is hand embroidered (they each take a week to make!) and are truly heirloom quality. I have a few around my home featuring my most favorite places...
{our home state, favorite vacation spot and where we honeymooned}
Cat Studio now offers a number of other fun products showcasing this same beautiful geographical artwork. These would be the best keepsakes for any bridal party and guest gift basket featuring hometowns or location of the wedding!
