A washington wedding

May 21, 2014

Oh boy things have been quiet over here. We’ve been up to a lot of fun and I made the decision to blog a little less. I’m hoping to catch you up though so don’t worry!

A few weeks ago we attended a wedding in Washington of a friend that I met about 10 years ago in community college. We haven’t kept in touch a lot over the years so I was honored to be attending their very initiate wedding. They held it at one of the wineries about 25 minutes out of the city. As you may or may not know Walker and I don’t own a car so we had a bit of an adventure getting out there. We took 2 buses and then walked for about 2 miles. Luckily it was a beautiful day and I was so thankful the sun was out. I could have complained about our lack of car and the long bus ride and the long walk but instead I chose to think of it as an adventure that we were on together.

As we walked along the road together we joked about feeling like we were in a movie. My movie was obviously a romantic comedy. You know one where the car breaks down and the main characters argue but by the end are totally in love? Walker was thinking something more along the lines of a horror flick-to each his own. Ha!

The small wedding was really beautiful. The flowers were done by the mother and some of herĀ  friends. The cakes were all made by the bride’s sister. The multi-course dinner was from a Vietnamese restaurant in Seattle and it was some of the most interesting and tasty wedding food I’ve had. After we spent quite a while eating we finally got to dance! We danced our little hearts out (always my favorite part of any wedding). Oh and did I mention the wine was fabulous?! It was at a winery after all.

How she wore it: Julie Ann Art

When I first met Julie Ann of Julie Ann Art we connected over both being from Michigan and now living on the west coast. Even though we are both so far from home we keep our families and memories close with our tiny gold Michigan necklaces. I love how she paired it with a simple top with a wide scoop neck. It’s a great way to make a simple outfit seem elegant.

Are you looking for your state or country in a tiny gold size? Head to this listing and let me know what I can make for you!

Well if she does it’s not that big of a deal she’ll just know that I thought Mother’s day was on May 20th when in fact it’s on the 11th. Whoops! At least I figured it out before the date had passed so I’m totally on top of it now. If you also whoops on the date or are not sure what to get her I’m here to help!

Right now in the shop I’m offering free US shipping through Monday May 5th (no code needed). I’ll take Mother’s Day orders through May 7th but to get them in time you’d have to choose expedited shipping options at checkout.

Need a few ideas:
-the state where she was born
-all the states her children live on one chain
-a state/country she’s always wanted to visit
-the state or country she’s never moved out of but loves with all her heart
-the new heart necklace with her kids initials or just plain
-a place that holds a special meaning to her
-if you need more ideas message me I’m happy to help!
