Etsy Shop: cat2owl

Hello Everyone!

This day has been dragging by, but in the midst of my grumpiness I came across this etsy shop cat2owl which put a smile on my face that I thought I would share with you.

This adorable shop has one-of-a-kind watercolored pictures that make me want to wear polka dots and drink iced tea.  In other words, I Love Them!

Not only are they original but they are also afforadable and adorable.

Aren't these so cute?  I am partial to the rainbow colored kitty cat.  I am definately turning into a crazy cat lady!

Check out her etsy shop for more.

Lots of Love,

Jess

Lovely Sunday Photograph and a brand new item listed on LoveUPaperly!

Hello and a happy Sunday to everyone!

This weekend has flown by and I seriously wish we all had another day to rest.

Well, I wanted to show you a brand new item listed on LoveUPaperly.  I am going to start offering original, hand-carved stamps for purchase!

My goal is to offer these handmade stamps for an inexpensive price so that everyone can have a little homemade, adorable goodness in their crafting life!

This adorable Kitty Cat is only $1.25 plus shipping and handling.

So now onto the lovely Sunday Photograph.

Bold Goldfish 8X8 photograph by PictureBook on etsy

Isn't this photograph great?!

The Photographer is Layla Blackshear.  Check out her etsy shop here.

I love goldfish, I seriously have an affinity for them! 

I'm not sure if it is the mad face they make (check out said mad face on bottom right of photograph) or the lovely neon colors.

I always kill them if I own them myself, but I am definitely thinking of buying this image!

Until tomorrow,

Love,

Jess

Inexpensive Dresses that you could get married in

Hello Everyone!

I hope today was a good Thursday!  I worked a full eight hour day today for the first time and I am actually not hurting as bad as I thought I would!  I hope that I have finally turned a corner in terms of my neck and the chronic pain.

So, on a very happy note, Mer and I are getting married May 5th!  We are a little late on the planning because of everything that has been going on. 

One thing I do not have yet is a dress!  We don't have a lot of money to spend but I want to feel beautiful on our wedding day.

I have been going back and forth over dresses.  Should I wear a color or wear white?  Do I want dreamy or sophisticated?  I feel like when I put it on I will know, but in the meantime I love perusing the internet and dreaming of wearing beautiful yet affordable dresses on my wedding day.

Here are some I have found that I can picture wearing.  What do you guys think?  Do you like any?  Have any other suggestions?

This is a non-traditional fun dress from Vintage Dress Outlet for $43.95  Fun, no?

I found this pretty dress on the Wtoo site which is partnered with the brand Watters but is the cheaper of the lines.  I love this dress, it is described as a mini tafetta ballgown.  I would definitely go for the deep red color on the second dress.  You can find this dress on all different sites ranging in prices from $79-$200.

This white dress is only $199.  Not a traditional wedding dress but wouldn't it be perfect?

I found this stunner on UDreamyBridal.  This dress is selling for $98.23. Very Audrey Hepburn at a reduced price, don't you think?

There are so many places to look for inexpensive dresses.  I go on ModCloth A LOT!  However, make sure to read the reviews because they are really helpful!  Here are a few delicious examples.

I know the wedding dress is important and I want to feel fabulous, but I am hoping to buy something that won't cost an arm and a leg. 

I will let you know when I find it!  Look for another post with more traditional inexpensive wedding dresses!

Love,

Jess
