The Sweetest Occasion

After spying these pretty fabric flowers from Churchtown Chapeau Co. I couldn’t resist sharing them on this Monday morning. Aren’t they just so pretty?

When planning our own wedding, my husband and I hunted around on Etsy for homemade wedding bands. The shape of my engagement ring required a custom band for everyday wear, but I wanted something simple and pretty for those occasions when wearing my engagement ring wasn’t appropriate – hiking, camping, kayaking, that kind of thing.

Recently, a friend of mine showed up wearing one of their necklaces and later, a pair of their earrings, and I was [...]

I do believe that the lovely Myra of Twigs & Honey can do no wrong. Every piece she creates is a bit of magic, a truly lovely work of art. The latest pieces she has created take it to a whole new level. She has painstakingly hand-dyed, cut, painted and sewed every last petal of [...]

For those of you out there who, like me, are a product of the 80s, the thought of long white evening gloves might bring to mind images of shiny synthetic fabrics and tacky dresses to match. Today I am here to challenge that association and even go so far as to nominate lady-like gloves as [...]

Before I share these glittering, romantic creations from Boutique Bonheur with you, it has to be noted that I am not nearly fashionable enough to pull most of these things off.
