Finally, antique season

There is something very promising in the longer days of spring, and the reawakening of nature in our gardens.
I welcome spring in the chance it gives me to evaluate the clutter I've accumulated throughout winter and to let go of those material possessions I felt I just 'had to have' just a few months ago.

Of course with spring comes the chance to head out to all my favorite shoppes in hopes of finding a special treasure to make a part of my life. Today I made a stop at Eurotreasures, a place that will become a second home as I make my new residence in Cedar Hills.

A sneak peek

Here is a sneak peek at the wedding band Jim will be wearing at some undisclosed time in what I hope to be the not do distant future.  We opted for a 24 carat white gold band with minor decorative etchings and I only hope he is as thrilled with his ring as I am with mine.

What not to wear on your wedding day

In an attempt to scream out to the universe that I want to be married....sometime soon.....I decided to get a wedding dress selected so that when the determined day arrived, I would be prepared.  I was grateful to have a camera readily available because these dresses did not look the same in the mirror as it did on film.

 At the time, I thought I liked this dress, the bling at the waist complimented my silver wedding shoes and the lace at the hem really seemed to capture my personality, I also realized that this dress was much too predictable and somewhat deary. 

I really liked the square neckline of this dress and the silver trim on the waist lace was a plus, unfortunately I hated the drop waist and and I the diagonal thing across skirt made me feel like I was wearing a marshmallow.

Obviously, I will not be wearing either of these dresses at the wedding! but that doesn't mean I went home empty handed, you will need to come to the ceremony to see what dress I selected.
