{ideas} how did i live without you?

but seriously... have you ever come across a store that you wondered how you ever got along without it before? i wish i had come across this little shop earlier...and a big thanks to my friend who opened my eyes to it...just check out some of these fab finds:

we were going to use birdseed as our "confetti," but now i'm considering these cute little dried jasmine flowers (and extra love because they look like those popping things you can get around the fourth of july):

Dried Jasmine Flowers $13 lb

also considering these to add as my "something blue" instead of the jasmine flowers:

Ivory Rose Petals and Blue Hydrangeas 5 cups for $19.95

check out this adorable cake topper:

5" Wedding Doves $2.99 pair

they also have shepard's hooks, flower baskets, candles, lighting, cake stands, even glue gun wax to do the old fashioned stamps on the back of your envelopes (i ordered some in silver and will let you know how they turn out).

happy shopping!

{diy} cake toppers..almost there!

here is where i am with the cake topper:

back.

fh thinks it needs some more...stuff. flowers, shrubbery, etc. but i kind of like it simple..the only thing i know it needs is something around the base. i originally wanted to do cinnamon sticks..but i can't cut them short enough without breaking.

any ideas?

{diy} cake toppers...have faces.

so..here they are!!


now for the base...

{diy} clothing the cake toppers...

well...i've finally put some clothes on...my cake toppers that is. my fh laughs at them, but i think they are pretty darn cute:
