Its funny how things work sometimes.
My last post was almost exactly a year ago, and was about weddings. At that time, I didn't have a boyfriend or any prospects of one, I was enjoying my life and work, I had a goal and a dream for the year, and I was content. But still longing for that one special someone to come into my life and sweep me off my feet. And he did! And now, one year later, I am 36 days away from marrying the man of my dreams. And its a beautiful thing! I'd sit for hours and imagine stuff about weddings, and dresses, and decor, and things I'd do with my amazing hubby-to-be, and now I don't even remember half of what I dreamt of, and it doesn't even matter, because reality is so much better! And wedding gowns, cakes, decor, etc. isn't nearly as important as what comes after the wedding... The rest of our lives together! And I can't wait! I'm so excited! I'm not going to have anything SUPER expensive at my wedding, I don't have money for all those cute little favors and things, but it doesn't matter. Because it will still be perfect! And I'm so happy!!

Wedding Toppers
Ok, I admit it... I love pretty much anything to do with weddings. Especially when it comes to the decor. So I've been perusing this website (from a company in Kelowna), and decided to post some of my favourite cake toppers.
All captions will be linked.
And there you have it. Just some of the many cake toppers from Exquisite Events & Accessories.

A few of my favourite things...
(I think these would be adorable on the tables.
Maybe I could make something that looked more real)
 |
| Glass Swallow Confection Jars (These would be great if you wanted candy as your favours) |
 |
| Crinkle Fans |
(A nice idea if you're having an outdoor wedding.
Helps the guests stay cool, and could double as
a wedding favour.)
 |
| Sweets For Your Sweet Bag |
(Again goes with the 'candy for favours' idea)
 |
| Sliced Vine Lanterns |
(Wouldn't these look darling hanging from tree branches for an
outdoor wedding?)
 |
| Giving Tree Votive |
(A bunch of these of differing heights would look gorgeous
as centrepieces on the tables with some foliage around them)
 |
| Offshoot Cake Server |
(Sweet little twiggy cake server - I love outdoor themed decor!)

Just that kind of day...
Its a drowsy, lazy, cloudy, rainy day today. Chilly and dark, its a good day for snuggling down by the fireplace with a cuppa tea and a good fantasy book. Although there is nothing like the feeling of the sun warming your shoulders and face while you're doing stuff outside, I absolutely love days like this. So peaceful and sleepy...
And inside the house is as peaceful as outside right now. Dinner is on the stove, dessert's in the oven, there's peaceful music in the background, and the exotic aroma of a pineapple scented candle is wafting gently into my nostrils.
Though its Monday, I've had the day off and it feels more like a Sunday. The house has been full this weekend, as my dad's brother and sister have come to visit. Its been so lovely to spend time with them and show them around a bit. The weekend has positively flown by, as weekends are always so apt to do, and though it is Monday, it feels like I've only had one day off. Oh well, such is life - busy but good. Good, sometimes only because God is good. But good none the less.
With tea in hand, music in ear, and dreams in heart, I'm off to see what the future holds.

Spring is in the air...
...At least in the stores. Outside, the sky is cloudy, the snow is piled high and grungy looking (though it is melting slowly), the streets are filthy and wet, the trees are bare and looking like they were wishing for warmer weather (ever think that its kinda weird that when the air gets cold all the animals (and humans) get thicker coats, but the trees shed their leaves?) and its not very warm yet (though it isn't super cold either). All in all, its dismal, gray, dirty, and kinda dead outside.
The mall on the other hand, is full of racks of clothing in bright colours, Easter bunnies and eggs decorated in pastels, little skirts with flowers on them, sandals, beachy smelling perfumes... Its kinda beautiful, if only for the fact that it means that spring must come, and it must come soon!
Sometimes its such a welcome change to just leave the house, go to the mall where there aren't any windows, and walk. And browse. To just take in all the general springiness, and try to convince yourself that soon the sun will shine, the rain will fall, the birds will sing, and the world will come alive again.

Stick Together (Song)
Here's a song I wrote on my ukulele at the start of the year...
Stick Together
He said, ‘Girl, the way that you smile that smile,
Well girl, you just about drive me wild.
And girl, the sparkle that lights your eyes,
It keeps me awake all night
Thinkin’ ‘bout you and the way
That you make me feel inside
‘Cause one look at you and I know
We’ll always be alright
We’ll stick together like paper and glue
I wanna stay here forever with you
Whatever comes are way, baby
We’ll see it through
‘Cause we go together like good food and wine
Whatever the weather we’ll be just fine
I’m yours forever and darling, you are mine’
She said, ‘Boy, the way that you hold me tight,
Well I feel I could dance all night.
And boy, your love for me shines so bright,
That boy, it fills me with pure delight
To just think about you and the way
You make me feel inside
‘Cause one look at you and I know
We’ll always be alright
We’ll stick together like paper and glue
I wanna stay here forever with you
Whatever comes are way, baby
We’ll see it through
‘Cause we go together like good food and wine
Whatever the weather we’ll be just fine
I’m yours forever and darling, you are mine’
