'P' is for....

Soon enough... I'll be a P, rather than a W.  When I was young, this initial was such an annoyance. Always being last in line, last called upon in class, and always in a different group than friends... that's what you get having one of the most common last names - Williams.  Now I look at this name and feel so proud; it's so strong and has a great presence about it... plus, they save the best for last, right? ;) 

However, in 247 days (so says my countdown)... I will become a Picken! :)  In honor of this bittersweet change, I'd love to incorporate this new letter in my life, in our house.  I've always loved the use of initials in home decorating, but these are a piece of art in themselves... I WANT ONE... a P!  If I'm lucky, I just may win one from the lovely Laura of Laura Rae Designs, as she's currently having a giveaway on her blog The 6 La La's - enter to win!



Wish me luck! :)  Love ~J

Wedding on the Brain

I have a whole LOT of wedding on my brain lately, for obvious reasons.  So many things going on these days... too much to fit in this post, with the amount of time left in my night.  I'll just leave you with one of my favorite obsessions... Style Me Pretty.  Their tagline 'Obsessions for Brides' is oh so true.  I love every aspect of this website!  So much so, that it is one of the feeds in my Google Reader that I will actually open up the site separately, so that I can also peak at the beautiful aqua decor of the site while I get lost in the most beautiful wedding pictures, DIY ideas, and vendors.

I see a lot of weddings on this and other blogs, but the wedding featured on today's post has got to be one of the most beautiful ones I've seen... ever.  Here's a snippet to leave you with... definitely check out the rest here!

The chandeliers from the vine overhang... the perfect blue linens & chair covers... the beautiful rich neverending farm-style tables & chairs... AHHH, I could go on... I want to go to there! :)

Oh, and by the way... my wedding dress came in already!  I got to see it tonight... it.was.PERFECT!
