Who doesn’t like a good crafternoon every now and then? When I saw these adorable canvas magnets on The Sweetest Occasion, I swooned. They are perfect – and so easy to make. I’ll add it to my to-do list at #956. Kidding, I actually want to do them this weekend if possible. Cute little gifts!
Construction on The Manor started yesterday, and it’s chaotic. I popped in on the way to Sasha’s last night, and there are holes everywhere. I cannot wait to share before-and-after pictures of everything, but it’s going to take awhile. We are re-wiring the house for lighting, knocking down walls to expand our closet space (he’s an angel, really), ripping up carpet for wood floors, removing popcorn from the ceiling, adding all new wood panels outside, putting in new cabinets/granite/doors/sinks/showers, building a new fireplace and custom bar, etc. It’s exhausting. My brain is at full capacity right now – but it is exciting too. I’ve added two pictures of our new closet (hard to tell what’s going on…) – my favorite room of the house!
Our pied-a-terre will be quite different looking in a few months!
Mr. Alexander Sasha Petrovic, in a kilt. I am so excited. When he went to ask my parents for my hand in marriage (what a phrase), my dad pulled out a list of planned questions. One of which was, “The Serbian culture is so strong, but our Scottish culture normally gets overwhelmed. What will you do to make sure it remains 50/50?” Sasha’s response? “I’m wearing a kilt to the wedding.” And he is. And the fitting was yesterday. Doesn’t he look lovely?
Okay, cheesy title – I get that. While I am Sasha’s biggest fan, the purpose of this post is not to gush about my future hubbie, but instead share some beautiful inspiration for fans. My wedding date has been nailed down: July 6. Which leaves me less than 8 months to nit-pick over every last detail, including the wedding agenda. Since it will be outdoors (don’t worry – think cool Napa breeze), I want to give my guests the schedule on a fan. Some of my favorite finds are below – which is your favorite?
