The Power of Etsy

As a lover of unique and hand made crafts, I've been a long time devotee of Etsy.
I've watched it grow from a small depot of crafters to a on-line mega fair of artists as evidenced by the hand made golden hammered rings above from BeyondtheRockz.

Some of my favorite wedding details have been found on Etsy. Each craft lends individuality which is so important to many brides.

Ring pillow to accent wedding palette from SewBride

Custom orgami cranes to bring happiness and luck to the happy couple from LocalColorist

A lace shrug to cover shoulders during a church ceremony courtesty of artist Rohm

Custom linens from ArtfulBeginnings

Hair accesories for short (artist DaintyDiety) and long hair (artist Portobello).

Unique paper goods to make your day special. This design is from Kissandtellcards.

Back in the saddle....

Stephanie and I are back in the saddle again...and not a minute too soon!
We are ecstatic to be organizing an amazing event at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center!=

Every time we visit the Equestrian Center I get giddy seeing all of the horses. I so could be a horse person. Maybe in my next life. For the time being, we are keeping busy. This weekend, we'll be entertaining sea horses at an amazing venue on the cliffs in Palos Verdes. And then we are on to swing dancing and glamming it up for the fantastic Cicada! What a fun month!!

We are still getting proofs back from some of our favorite summer events. I promise eye-candy real soon.

Until then, let me give a shout out to two of my favorite vendors that came way of L & W early in the summer. The first pic is of our favorite paper stylist, Anne, and her sweet husband, Rob.

The picture is courtesy of one of our favorite photographers (she's FAB!), Kim Fox. Check out her blog...I am in love with her recent pics of daughter. What a cutie! http://kimfoxphotography.com/blog

Anne recently introduced her new paper stylist site appropriately named The Paper Stylist.
Check it out. http://thepaperstylist.blogspot.com/

Coming full circle, here's some recent work that Anne did for our couple getting married at the LA Equestrian center.
