cherished gifts

wedding days are special for so many reasons. hand crafted gifts become treasured keepsakes that can be handed down for many generations.

giving and receiving these gifts help us treasure the moments and make them last.

our beautiful bride was elated with her personalized necklace, engraved with the wedding date, initials and their wedding location.

this bracelet is filled with charming words that will touch any bridesmaids heart.

not your mother's apron. apron's are making a comeback and they are a great gift for bridesmaids. brandi hartmann of sweet old soul created this apron. she recently filled an order for eleven aprons all going to a lucky bridal party. you can find brandi's apron's at sweetoldsoul.etsy.com

how fun would it be to give your bridal party custom aprons to match your wedding colors?!?!

i hope you liked a few of my favorites. leave a comment and let me know some of your ideas for treasured keepsakes!!!

blog fairy

so as you can tell i have not been updating my blog lately. i was really hoping the blog fairy would come and write my blog for me. during the night she could come, take my ideas, and when i wake up in the morning i would log in and my blog would be written. with all of my wishing and hoping the blog fairy did not come and write my posts.

so it is up to me!!! with a new year comes new goals. one of mine is to be more consistent on my blog...so for all of you out there that have come to read this you are going to have to put up with my posts, and writing errors...i was never a strong writer and that blog fairy is not coming!!!
