---Table Setting

I had my bridal shower on July 17 at Miss Martha's Tea Room located in Scottdale,PA it was a vintage Alice in Wonderland theme based on the characters from John Tenniel's illustrations and the bookand just wanted to share a few pictures. I was very fortunate that I got some gifts from my registry and a few suprise gifts (we have our own home and didn't want much) and we got gift cards and a lot of money :) Everyone was so generous at the shower!!! Wilbur and I put the money from the shower towards new hardwood flooring, laminate flooring, and ceramic tile in our home! The next step is to take off the wallpaper and paint!! We have been in our home for almost 2 years now and have done a lot of things!

My Winnings!

I won a Primitive Uncle Sam from Brenda at the Rusty Thimble and I just got to post about it now and I just ADORE HIM :) He looks so great in my home!! Brenda always has the best sales and giveaways so thank you so much!

I also recently won a primitive snowman giveaway from Angi Drakestone Primitives. He is just soooooo adorable and came all the way from England!!!!! Angi thanks so much for having a giveaway and including people from the United States. I really do want to keep him out all year and I think that I am because he goes with my engagement snow photos I have out. :)

Thanks so much to Brenda and Angi for having these wonderful giveaways!

I have been so busy with planning my wedding and it is getting down to the wire!! Only a little over a month away and I will be a MRS.!! :D

Wedding Updates

Well ladies sorry I haven't posted in a while I have been busy planning all the stuff for my wedding day! I can't believe that I only have a 111 days to go!

I ordered my bridal jewelry form Liziari Bridal on Etsy her jewelry is so beautiful and as soon as I saw this necklace I knew I had to have it!! It has all of the crystals,pearls, and beads that is on my dry and it also features an art deco clasp that will match my antique art deco diamond ring that my fiance got my as a wedding present that I am going to wear on my right hand.

I got my bridal shower invitations, seals, and envelops in! Damn French Desserts on Etsy did such a great job on the invitations and Art by Joy on Etsy made the cutest seals for the envelops!!!

I also sent my save the dates out a few months ago!!! They turned out great!!! I got them from Magnet Street.com.

Everything is falling into place!!

I WON!!

I am super excited to wake up this morning and hear that I won The Rusty Thimble's giveaway of a primitive Uncle Sam!

Thanks Brenda!!

I'm Back!!

My computer broke about a week and a half ago and wouldn't power up so I called HP and they sent out a tech. The tech looked at my computer and saw that the video card fan cracked in half and then melted and shorted out the power cord to the computer (thank goodness it didn't set the computer on fire!!) I don't have the new video card yet but he was able to get the computer to work with the generic video card that already comes pre installed.

My bridesmaids ordered their bridesmaid dresses on Sunday! They are by Bill Levkoff and style 628 in glacier blue and ivory.

I have been hard at work creating a photobook online for Wilbur and I and have also been working on our save the date magnets and getting our engagement photos printed for picture frames.

My matron of honor also reserved Miss Martha's Tea Room for my bridal shower which is Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Themed :)


Here is a link to my engagement photos which I placed online:
