We were so flattered to be listed on the 100 wedding planning blogs list...it's actually a fabulous little summary of all the different wedding blogs out there in blogging land.

We get emails and questions from clients quite often who are interested in creating DIY centerpieces and other decor elements and wonder where they can find unique items outside of your more typical craft & floral supply stores. Our answer: Jamali Garden Supplies
Whether it's bamboo trays, moss covered stones, unique shells, river rocks, galvanized tins, sea glass or faux wheat grass Jamali Garden Supplies has it all! Here are some lovely little inspiration creations that all started with supplies from their store...

As a big fan of all things handmade...we decided to feature a few things this week that are do-it-yourself-able for crafting items for weddings, parties and gifts. One of our favorite stores full of lovely fabric, yarn, books and related supplies for sewing, kitting, etc. is Purl Soho.
They have an amazing on-line store as well and we are big fans of Purl Bee which is their on-line journal of "how to" DIY! Here are some of our favorite projects they have featured...click on the name of the item to view the Purl Bee page with all of the details and instructions for each precious item...
How lovely would these be for brides, mothers and grandmothers-to-be?
Sure to be a hit at your next baby shower...and how cute is this bee fabric?
Now if only there were enough hours in the day to learn to sew...

Loving these fall 08 bridesmaid dress options over at Lazaro...the colors, details and fabrics just work for us!

Thought we would end the weekend with some fun little goodies! These quirky, cute and playful items from the talented creative duo over at Something's Hiding In Here just make us smile! What fun little gifts for favors, birthdays, for yourself or just because...
We could really use these little bags to find things easier...
Have a great weekend everyone!
