some of my favorite things

Isn't Etsy wonderful? There are so many wonderful things that people are creating, selling and sharing. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Loving this queen bee tote from this Etsy seller.

Sure, I've been married for 46 days {Mark has an app that keeps track of the days}, but that doesn't mean I can't think of great ideas for our first anniversary - the traditional gift is paper, and wouldn't a hand-sketched rendering of my wedding gown be a great gift {hint}?

Dress forms are all the rage, and this papier-mache sheet music dress form takes it up a notch.

What a gorgeous distressed cabinet.

Sweet letterpress thank you notes.

Another great wedding-related gift! First-dance lyrics, a romantic sonnet by Shakespeare or your favorite E. E. Cummings poem on the black hearts and personalized with your initials and wedding date. Perfect for a wedding gift or a {ahem} a first anniversary gift.
