Easy Decision ?

Hi guys! Planning a wedding can be challenging, but choosing my gown doesn't have to be.  Initially I thought I would do a traditional  wedding gown, ya know, long sleeves , something a'la Grace Kelly.  I love the idea of me in a full length wedding gown floating down the aisle like a princess .But I want also to feel unique.Plus I can't justify paying so dearly for a dress I can only wear once. 

 Then I got to poking around on the Internet and ended up at Whirling Turban's website. And there I found that in addition to making swoon worthy retro  couture dresses they also make some very impressive wedding dresses.

 

I find myself very partial to the Liz dress for a couple of reasons.

I adore their Peggy Would bodice style.

It is sexy, but in a classic elegance kind if way. Plus, its Whirling Turban so the fit would be completely custom unlike pricey off the rack options. I also like that should I choose to, I could wear it as many times I   want because the look isn't exclusively bridal. It could  be just the lookI am after. 

I could pair this with a vintage veil , my vintage rhinestone tiara, nude seamed stockings and white satin pumps with a pointed toe and I own a blue rhinestone vintage brooch ( something blue) a Weiss rhinestone bracelet perhaps with matching earrings with slightly winged eye liner, false lashes and red lipstick ( as always :)  What do you think?

The Big Idea

 

Hi guys! Still on cloud nine! It might be really early but I'm already planning the shindig. We think, in honor of where met and fell in love, that we would really like to have the ceremony and reception at Canton First Monday during the show.I'm already thinking about a flea market meets carnival theme. In a way, Canton makes perfect sense as most of our friends will be here already. Of course I'm still thinking and nothing is hard and fast yet but as far as I know, it has never been done before. But I will keep you guys posted as things develop!

Of Love and Junk

 

Flea markets are interesting places. You can find anything you are looking for, but more often than things that you didn't know you needed find you . But sometimes, it's a person. At least in my case. That's how I met Randy. 

We had been neighbors at Canton First Monday Trade Days for just over six months when we decided we had more in common than just the junk we sell. So, we started dating back in November and hit it off right away. We pick together , we go to auctions together . Pretty much if you see one of us you see the other.

We have been dating about nine months now.

This spring we decided to take a trip to New Orleans. On May 14th Randy proposed in the French Quarter on a carriage infront of the St. Mary's church.

I said yes!!!
