Welcome To New York

I found this post today on http://100layercake.com/blog/ and got so excited!  This blog is always fantastic, but lately the guest posts from http://theindigobunting.blogspot.com/ have been so helpful and creative!
I think this is exactly what should be in a New York Welcome Bag.  Don't you think that the New York Mag (or even a Time Out NY) is a great idea?  I also love putting in some N.Y. signature food, like a pretzel, apple or something made in N.Y.!  But, my favorite part of this idea is the NYC Map with personalized labels!

I think this makes it seem like a personal gift rather than a bag thrown together at the last minute.  This Welcome Bag is exactly how I like to give any gift I give.  Thoughtful, personal and quirky.  I'm a fan!

Check "Buy Ring Bowl" off the list!

When I set out to find the perfect ring bearer bowl/ pillow I knew it was going to be tricky!  I wanted it to be handmade and not traditional.  But other than that, I was quite open!  So when I found this bowl from Paloma's Nest .  I knew it was perfect.  When A proposed (in the most amazing way I could think of) one thing stuck out from all of the incredible things he said.  He said "I want to grow old with you."  So when we saw this ring bowl we both got so excited!  It says :

Grow Old Along With Me

7.10.10

Now, here is my concern.  Our ring bearer is the cutest 2 year old you have ever seen, but he probably won't be gentle with this piece of ceramic goodness.  He will probably pick up this delicate bowl of beauty and throw it on the ground.  So I have a solution.  We will take a cute stuffed animal, tie the rings around its neck.  Then the bowl can be kept as a keepsake and used for some pretty ring pics.  I love this bowl so much I want to keep it forever and ever!

I can't help it...

If the second movie is as good as the first.... I am SO there!

Color

Jessi Arrington threw a rainbow birthday party where she changed colors every hour!  She also made everyone who came dress in one color.  So creative!  Made for some great, graphic photos too!!!

Letters to my children that don't exist...

Dear future child (in the far far future),

I promise that we will make blanket forts.  And couch forts.  And Teepees.  Whatever you want!

Your Future Mommy (who will hopefully be a really attractive older woman)

Is that Dana from the L word???

Why yes!  Yes it IS Dana from the L word.  She sure had a pretty wedding!  www.stylemepretty.com always delivers!  I love weddings that are super intimate and personal.  

Also, aren't succulents, cockscomb and lotus pods such an interesting touch in flower arrangements?!  

I have to mention her incredible ring.  I am a little obsessed with this gorgeous ring!!!!

And to top it all off, they had MY FAVORITE type of dog in their wedding!  I don't have a flower girl so I might stick this little bugger in a tutu and make him walk down the aisle!!!

The Satorialist is the best blog ever

This girl walked out of her house that morning and said "These shoes will totally be great for walking in Paris."

LOVE HER FOR THAT!
