A Vintage Christmas

Finally starting to add vintage holiday items in my vintage shop! You should stop by and check it out!

Happy Holidays,

So it Begins...

So, I woke up yesterday morning, took the dogs out and found this:

I know it's November and this is Northeast Ohio but I'm just not ready yet. It's been a long time since I've been "unemployed" during the winter months. Already the time change and the fact that it's dark by 5:30 p.m. is wreaking havoc on my brain. Sitting at home in front of the computer all day can make one feel like they are wasting away. So, to make a long story short... just keep an eye on me so this doesn't happen:

Thanks so much!

Back on the Road Again

Two months of intense wedding planning has left little to no time for me to focus on Suite 22 and my etsy shop. So this weekend it felt so good to be back on the road together and this time as newlyweds! Over the weekend we hit a total of eight estate sales, travelling around 160 miles through at least four different counties. 

Saturday was a chilly, rainy day but Sunday turned out to be gorgeous! The temps were a little low but the bright sunshine made up for it! Here's a few Instagram pics of our visit to Silver Lake near Stow, Ohio.

I am super happy with my finds! I got a lot of great stuff to start getting my shop prepared for the holiday season. Lots of unique items that would make great gift ideas!

Wedding update:
We are still waiting on our wedding photos because our photographer had to fly to Louisiana the day after our wedding for a work assignment. He should be back soon and will be able to begin the daunting task of editing all of the photos. I can't wait to see them and make a post of some of my favorites! But I will leave you with this one. It is a shot Richard's mother took during our vows of him making me laugh.

Suite 22 marries The Book Vault!

Thank you to you all for being so patient with me over these last few weeks as the wedding day got closer and closer! This is a little teaser pic with way more to come! Please check back soon as I will be uploading more pictures of our special day!

Tick Tock

We are officially 18 days away from our wedding day.

Here is a list that is driving me mad:

• I do not have any bouquets made because I can't decide on flowers.
• I have no idea how my hair is going to look or who is going to do it for me or my bridesmaids.
• I still don't know how many people are coming, I'm waiting on 15 RSVP cards. What's the protocol on that? Don't ask me, I don't know.
• We still haven't picked a song for our first dance.
• I am still deciding between three songs for my father/daughter dance.
• We haven't purchased any alcohol or beverages yet.
• I still haven't found a strapless bra I like.
• We haven't even started putting together the favors yet.
• I never lost those five pounds I wanted to, in fact I may have gained a pound or two considering I grab a pint of ice cream out of the freezer every time I look at this list.

Here is a list that is not driving me mad:

• I cannot wait to be his wife.

Lots to do today, better get to it.

Call it Kismet

Without even planning it my wedding dress will be ready for my final fitting on October 16th and the wedding bands we picked will be ready for pick up on October 16th. Richard asked me to marry him on October 16, 2012. Call it Kismet, if you will! ;)

Invites

Welp, the invitations have all been mailed out and as Richard so eloquently stated as the last one dropped into the mailbox... there's no going back now! True, very true! So, now we patiently wait for the RSVP cards to come back so we can get an accurate number on everything from food to decor. As you can see from the invites we are not having a "traditional" wedding. This is a second wedding for both of us... so we just want it to be laid back and fun! A celebration of love and the fact that after over 20 years, we finally ended up together!

Now I'm off to find napkins in the color and size I want. Wish me luck!

xoxo
