monday delights: wedding dresses.

even though i've been married for going on 9 months now, i still can't help but look around the web at some of the incredible wedding dresses out there. 

vintage dresses, ethereal/dreamy dresses, incredible ball gowns and amazing up-and-coming dress designers.

here are some favorites i've found:

if i could do it all over again, i'd probably wear a dress just like audrey's in funny face

vintage/vintage inspired dresses: the best thing about vintage dresses is that most of them are SO cheap or completely reasonable compared to most wedding dresses. but you have to be checking around all of the time because they can go pretty quick!
some of my favorite resources- poshgirlvintage, vintageous, etsy

ethereal/dreamy gowns:

claire la faye kills this every time-so so beautiful

and we are SO grateful to her for loaning us her gorgeous "pockets full of posies"gown for our shoot.

another dream gown found on etsy- the shop is called ouma

i hope these pretty dresses helped to cure your monday blues!

finds.

yesterday the mister and i went to the antique mall in a town nearby.

i was overwhelmed with the surplus of mason jars, tea/coffee tins, and depression glass.
not to mention the furniture! i wanted everything.

i was searching for some lovely things for upcoming projects when i stumbled upon this beauty:

it's a garter....from 1923. its silk and amazing and i can't wait to use it!
but after that i'll be selling it in my etsy shop so keep a look out!!!

happy day.

announcement 2.

i'd like to introduce you all to the laceandlikes etsy shop!

yes! i am so excited about this new addition to my little business! there are only a few things listed in it right now, including the doily runners i made for my wedding, but in the next month it will be filled with all kinds of handmade and vintage/found goodies.

i'll also be using it to sell things i make from weddings i do as well.

so keep an eye out, you just might find a lovely vintage vase, some yarn wrapped bottles, pom-poms galore, or a doily runner to add some grandma-esque amazingness to your table!!

i'm also totally available for custom orders in my shop

and am happy to come up with an awesome wedding creation with you via convo on etsy or email and turn it into a reality!

have a wonderful weekend and i'll continue to be posting new additions to the shop so keep checking back!

project 2.

doily runners!

this is by far my favorite project for the wedding

its also the most time consuming, but so worth it.

last night, i went up to my room at nine, crawled in my bed

and sewed until i fell asleep (grandma)

and i loved every minute of it.

idea: i think i might start an etsy shop to eventually sell many of the things i'm collecting/making

thoughts?
