The Wedding

With the wedding being such a huge part of my life right now, it will naturally become a topic of discussion on my blog. My fiance, Dave, and I have been together since we were 15 years old. When I was 14 years old I knew I was going to marry him, so I chased him for 4 months until he finally gave in (more or less). Now 5 years later, here we are planning our wedding. It will be a winter wedding, January 1st, 2010, in our hometown, Penticton. We have (what I consider) the most beautiful venue, the S.S. Sicamous. It is Canada's largest sternwheeler ship from 1914 that was used to transport goods and people up and down Okanagan Lake. It stopped running in 1936 and has been docked upon Okanagan Beach as a mueseum ever since. We are having a simple, but lovely afternoon tea-party upon the ship and everything down to my dress will be keeping with the vintage feel. 
The photo is a funny little picture of Dave and I photoshopped into the ship. Yes, the groom with be in grey, and yes, the bride will be in that 1930's blue dress.

It's Been a While

So, it has been quite a while since my first posting. Almost 4 months infact. 
My journey towards opening an Etsy shop had been on hold since Christmas Time as my fiance and I got engaged. *insert huge smile here* Now that we have got a solid plan for the wedding, I can focus again on what I love to do, creating. 
I am incredibly fortunate to have this great job (or rather opportunity in my eyes) to be managing a local boutique here in Vancouver called, 'Barefoot Contessa'. Here I can make and sell what I please in the store, and this isn't something I have been taking advantage of - until now. As I write this entry, I am taking a break from making little felted hair accessories as my first product for the store. So far I have flowers with vintage button centers and two-toned sparrows. Coming up is crochet hair doilies with vintage beads and buttons. (will post photos later)
Upon rekindling my blogging efforts, I at first thought I would delete this blog and create a new one after my poor attempts (I also couldn't even find my blog). But I realized that this is a prime example of the creative process, how it will come and go in waves. We just must be sure to act on our creative inspirations when a wave does hit.
