gratuitous cuteness

If I ever happen to find myself planning a wedding, Eunice and Daniel's wedding featured on Martha Stewart Weddings is right up my alley. It's so whimsical and fun! I am not a fan of traditional weddings; this one was exactly perfect.

And oh my lord, her dress. I'd get married tomorrow if I could have that dress. Not to mention the crowns and fake 'staches they were sporting at the reception! Swoon. What an adorable couple! More at Hello!Lucky.

Between Alice in Wonderland and that wedding dress, I've decided I need to stop effing around and take sewing lessons. Only problem is I live in Nashville and I'm fairly sure those don't exist here, as I've yet to stumble across them. Anyone around here know something I don't?

It's taking every ounce of my will power not to buy every single thing on the victorian-inspired front page of etsy tonight! My faves:

1930s Industrial Sewing case from Epoca Eclectic

These lace up boots from SkinandWood are in perfect condition and are oh-so-lovely! If they were in black I'd snap them up. I still might.. So hands off, dear readers! ;)

I'm imagining the 25,000 different ways I could use this brooch from JeepersKeepers in a dance costume (along with just about everything else in that store!)

Speaking of etsy, I just posted some new hoops in my store. Please go buy one so I can buy those boots.

Today I'm listening to Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot; it's been a long while since they've graced my work playlist but it's the perfect soundtrack for this grey, mellow Wednesday afternoon.

I also managed to read this awesome blog Tiny-Ass Apartment in it's entirety; I can't wait to move into my next (undoubtedly small) place in a few months and start decorating! There are some really great ideas and I had to stop myself from purchasing room dividers and Ikea furniture on the spot, since I have no idea what type of space I'm about to land in. Check out the latest entry - it's a teeny-tiny French apartment. And by teeny-tiny I mean 134 square feet. I can't imagine living in such a small place (hula hooping inside would be out of the question!) but the architect who fixed it up managed to make it a lovely space. I'd feel like I was living on a boat if that were my place. And this couch/bunk bed transformers-ish thing.. so rad!
