For the past few weeks, I’ve been pondering how to incorporate royal blue into a theme. E and I mulled it over today and inspiration struck. Royal blues with iridescent grays and blues, with just a touch of red.

I wish there were more pictures available for this palette because I have fallen in love with it!

This would be perfect for a fall or winter wedding – I love the idea of using deep purple and yellows with a branch-y decor, and perhaps incorporating accents of gold or chocolate.  That bouquet is …

The Friday Etsy is late this week because of vacation. Yay for vacation, boo for being late. Anywho….

Sharon of Embellished Life crochets, knits and felts all sort of goodies. She says:

In honor of my soon-to-be-in-the-mail Gocco, I decided to post the many images of pretty pretty gocco-ed things that I have been collecting.

Those of you who have been reading for a while may remember my post on Gocco and how I am/was obsessed with this little machine!  Well, today I bought myself my Christmas present and I am getting a Gocco!

A. sent me this link a while ago and it’s definitely on my “must buy LOADS of stuff from their website” list.  I love shops, especially online ones, that sell what I refer to as stuff.  Yes, stuff.  I am not quite sure how else to describe it.  Ornamentea sells ribbon, felt, filigree, glitter, wire, buttons and beads, among many other …
