Harvest Ring Pillow - By Cricketapollo

Ok, so it's not REALLY a "ring pillow" but I think this little stack of lavender sachets tied with the moss green ribbon would be so cute as a ring pillow for a handmade fall wedding. You can find the in cricketapollo shop for an unbelievable $10 for the pair! Added bonus that they probably smell amazing and are reusable as sachets in your lingerie drawer after the wedding.

More harvest goodies coming soon. I'm in a fall mood now that the kids are going back to school and the weather is cooling down. Can't wait to wear my new mittens!

Lindsey's Tips. Coming Soon.

I'm starting to get my thoughts together from the day of. Looking back there are so many things I'd like to share, things I wish I would have told myself before the wedding. I'm still waiting on professional photos from Christina before I share the details, but I do want to recognize all my amazing vendors and do a recap soon.

I've been super busy with the name change, working on real life (insurance, etc.) and getting my fall line at Lost & Fawned up and ready. I'm working on some new wedding posts to get up soon. I feel so awful I've been so MIA lately, but I'm sure you understand. ^_-

So getting back to business, I'm going to get back to work on posts for you guys. See you soon!

Coming Soon. New Fall Collection.

I'm currently working on my new fall jewelry collection for Lost & Fawned. It's kind of back to basics a little for me. My pieces for the fall and stripped down to delicate antique chains, lockets and faceted glass. I listed a few preview pieces including my lovely little Florence Locket. I have one myself and just love wearing it. It's so simple and delicate but has it's own charm and personality.

I ended up giving both of my bridesmaid lockets as a gift for being in the wedding. They loved them and I can't wait to find a lovely photo from the wedding to put inside them. Lockets have such a lovely sentiment to them. I love gifting them to cherished friends.

Married.

We are back and married! The weather was amazing, everything came together, everyone had a great time and best of all we are husband and wife. I'm holding off posting too many photos here until I get our professional photos and the official go ahead from our photographer as we are submitting them to some magazines (just local ones like Oregon Bride and Groom and Portland Bride).

I will be resuming regular programming for now (lots of wedding goodies) but stick around for my post wedding photos.

Thanks for the well wishes!

Right now...

At this very moment we are getting married. Woot! All the planning has come together and Jared and I are standing in this spot saying our vows with our families and friends. Thanks for all you good thoughts and help as we've planed our wedding. See you again soon!

Signing Out: To Get Married

Sorry I've been so flaky about posting lately! It's just been a whirlwind since I got here and my mom and I have been super busy finishing up everything.

There is not much left to do! We stuffed out guest gift bags today an I am throwing the finish touches on things for kids to do, linens and welcome notes for the guests. Tonight we pack the car up for the coast and head out tomorrow morning after we pick up the hydrangea from a friend. Once we're at the coast we'll be setting up the tent and greeting guests!

Send good thoughts our way for good weather and no more shark sightings (that's right! They caught a great white yesterday in seaside. Only at our wedding...)! I'll be back online early next week! I'm not sure when we'll have photo teasers. I'll be sure to let you know how everything goes!

Welcome Buckets for Kids

My mom and I had fun filling buckets from ikea with goodies for my little cousins who are coming in from out of state. We filled the buckets with beach towels (ikea, only $2), ocean life finger puppets, books of animals from the pacific ocean, sand toys, beach hats, little bags for shells and more! They turned out so cute and I think they will really love them.

I also decorated some little containers of bubbles to give them at the wedding. They are super cute. I wrapped them in some extra fabric and added a ribbon (super quick and easy) and it instantly made the dollar store bubbles look a whole lot cuter.

Chalk Board Menu

Hi all! Now reporting from Portland, Oregon! Thanks for all the well wishes on my trip. Yesterday was the longest day ever (due partially to the time change of course).

Just wanted to share the BEAUTIFUL chalk board my mom scored off craig's list for our menu at the reception. I love the animal illustrations. It couldn't be more perfect. I'll be testing some different chalks on it this week to find one that works well on the old surface.

Leaving on a Jet Plane.

I'm getting on a plane to Oregon at 6:45 tomorrow morning! Only 15 days to go and time to finalize all the details! I'm going to miss my Jared and Logan terribly, but in 15 days, not only will we be together, but we'll be married! I just have to keep remembering that. As soon as I get off the plane I'm going almost straight into a fitting. Wish I could post pictures, but Jared still hasn't seen the gown. I've done a pretty good job keeping it a secret. I'm pretty proud of myself.

I'll still be updating from Oregon. So stay tuned for more!

DIY Update: Lounge Pillows

Just another DIY project update. I had extra fabric from the photobooth backdrop so I threw together a few pillow shams (one embroidered and one with the green fabric on the front). There are going to be some adirondack chairs in the yard in front of the beach so I think these pillow will be really cute on the chairs and make it feel a little loungier.


I did in fact finish the napkins (throwing my back out in the process from hunching over a sewing machine all weekend) and they turned out really cute. I'm working on finishing the bunting this afternoon as well as some shoe bags for my girls and some table runners with the rest of my extra fabric.

My dress fitting is saturday, make-up and hair trial on Thursday and other finalization meetings next week. I also found out my SUPER talented step-brother and his girlfriend will be doing the music for our ceremony. It will be acoustic guitar and harmonica. I'm so excited. More updates coming soon.
