Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

January 29, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

My best friend from college is getting married!!  I met Victoria on my very first day at UMaine back in September of 1999.  Our dorm rooms were three doors away from one another and the RA arranged a ‘get to know you’ dinner in the commons to meet the other girls on our floor.  That’s where we met…

Twelve and a half years later, through career changes, moves, and relationships, we’re still friends!

And now she’s getting married!  You can imagine my delight when, shortly after her engagement, I received this in the mail:

It’s a “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” box!  How cute and thoughtful is that?  Inside Tori had placed cards printed with details about the big day including who else is in the bridal party, with contact information so we can all communicate with one another.  Brilliant!

She also included pictures of what she’d like to see for bridesmaid dresses, shoes, and flowers as well as possible wedding colors.  Paint sample cards from Home Depot were used to put the colors together…such a smart idea!

Victoria, I will use this blog as a forum to publicly declare, YES!!  
I will absolutely be your bridesmaid!  Let the planning begin!

That’s a wrap on all things Halloween! 🎃 I find my That’s a wrap on all things Halloween! 🎃 I find myself acutely aware of how short this season of motherhood will be, the time when my little one is SO excited about alllll the holiday things. Trying to truly be present and savor all these beautiful moments.
Witches Night Out is one of the best nights of the Witches Night Out is one of the best nights of the year! Main Street comes alive with witches of all kinds. Music, dining, shopping on a perfect fall night. Just one of the many reasons to love Smithfield!
I typically decorate for the general fall season r I typically decorate for the general fall season rather than specifically for Halloween, but this year I’ve really leaned into the holiday. Over the last month or so I’ve found so many fun decorations that give off “cute” Halloween rather than “spooky” (although the witches are bordering on the spooky side)! C is at the perfect age to really love the decorations, plus now that we are in a neighborhood, others can hopefully enjoy our decor, too! 

Tell me, do you decorate for Halloween? 🎃 👻 🧙
Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA for a friend’s birthday and fell in love with the sweetest little barrier island town. We stayed @keywestcottages, shopped and dined at many locally owned places (highly recommend Island Creamery for the best homemade ice cream), and we even spotted some of the infamous wild ponies at Chincateague National Wildlife Refuge. On the drive home we did some antiquing and popped into Cape Charles (another darling little town) for lunch. I would love to take C back one day because it’s is a pretty family friend town as well. Such a sweet spot for a long weekend getaway!
Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeli Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeline, aka “Emmie”! We found her after visiting several local shelters and are happy to report that she is settling in well. She’s super sweet & affectionate…C is smitten! 🥰
Sometimes you just have to drop everything and giv Sometimes you just have to drop everything and give something a makeover, am I right?! 🤣☺️ C has a little craft table in our living room so I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect cabinet to corral all her art supplies and some toys she frequently plays with…I finally found the perfect piece for $50 on FB Marketplace! We (yes, C helped 🥰) painted it in a matte finish paint in the @sherwinwilliams color Monorail Silver, the perfect blue-gray shade I was hoping for. After it was dry, I took some sand paper to the edges to give it a more vintage feel and also swapped out the knob. Now, time to organize and fill those baskets! 🧺
