I just can't resist

I am not totally sold on the PenelliBelle Collection for the wedding but I thought I should showcase a *few* more pieces. You all seemed to take to them! They are absolutely dreamy!

Decorating the Out of Doors

So, you all know how much I love a good pomander (see the December (or maybe NOVEMBER!) post) and here are a bunch of greenery pomander options all available from SaveonCrafts for relatively good prices. The prices are really decent because I can resell most of this stuff afterward! How long does moss live????







So, the above pomander could hang from shepherds hooks such as the following:
Or there could be in giant vases towards the "altar".

Something else that could be beautiful lining the walkway or possibly somewhere else:
Here is some hurricane lamp inspiration:


I am also IN LOVE with some of these random things but I want some inspirational ideas from you crafty ladies...where can this stuff go?



Also, white, ivory, or red aisle runner? That is an interesting choice that could really make a statement. (Afterall, this is distinctly NOT a white wedding!) Will ivory look dirty? I have heard that... AND we will definitely need a red carpet for the movie-themed reception.

To help you pick jewelry...

I wish that I had a close up of the detailing but I don't and I don't have time to find one online before work...

I <3 Vintage...

My ideal wedding jewelry is a mix of pearl, gold, and sparkle, and is, OF COURSE, vintage. I know that all of these pieces are distinctintly MY style, but do you love anything?

So, this piece seems to fit the bill exactly but I am not sure about it... what do you think?



This might be too casual. Maybe I need it for my daily wear, because I absolutely adore it...A little bling anyone? This is one of my favorites though it might be a bit over the top...


Also beautiful and I love a choker...
Here are some pearl MASTERPIECES.

The following two are from one of my favorite stores PenelliBelle

A more simple blinged out necklace...
LOVE this. For the weddding, though...I am not sure...
I can't make up my mind about this one, though I love the details.

I love these but hope to find a necklace that is part of a set.

This seems like a lovely piece but it has no bling...


I already went ahead and bought the following piece. It is simple and I need it in my collection:

They said you can leave anything blank and they will just fill it in with a standard size...

It's currently in the high 80's...May here we come!

These are the most practical and I think could really be dressed up by using a better corner punch and some gocco magic! I love the stick they are on.


This is my favorite, but I am not sure how you would print on a paper that size... At least, I imagine these to be a bit oversized and thus wouldn't run through a normal printer. The ribbons are an awesome touch.
I think that most people will like these most but they don't quite do it for me. And I can't decide WHY? Mostly, I think that the fan isn't going to stay so nicely fanned and won't be useful for creating a subtle beeze. but they look lovely hanging from the Chiavari chair. (Ah, Chiavari chairs! At $8 a seat, we won't be using those!)

Some inspiration

It seems that I like giant flowers! big suprise!
P.S. It is supposed to snow 4-10 INCHES tonight. I miss TEXAS!!
