My Saturday project...

My house...is currently a feather explosion. It looks as if a flock of birds swooped in...decided it was streaking weather...and left their fluff as a new form of carpet on my floor...table...chairs...and even on my cats. I sell feather accessories on Etsy, and it has relaly taken over my tiny 1 bedroom condo. My business is growing faster than my home will allow. The result, everything that I touch is immediately covered in feathers. My fiance, my cats, and my shameless self are all eternally covered in feathers.

I've been really loving making feather wedding bouquets recently. I received my second custom order a few weeks ago, and once all of my supplies arrived I couldn't wait to get started. I finished it this afternoon. The customer wanted ivory, black, and white feathers. We found these great black and rhinestone buttons to mix amongst the feathers. The handle is a black satin, with a vintage black and rhinestone brooch to add some flair. I can't wait to get it shipped out to her!

Love Bird Cake Toppers

My wedding is in August...which means that I am trying to avoid at all costs getting sucked into the vortex that is wedding spending. It is NUTS....it seems as though when I think that everything is close to being done, I have forgotten some major multi hundred dollar expense. Flowers? Whoops....how did I just not think about that? Who needs em anyway...

So fully ignoring the flowers, seating arrangement, and all the other typical wedding ridiculousness....I set my sights on finding the one detail that is obviously the most important element, obviously... THE CAKE TOPPER!! We all know, it's all about the cake anyway.

I had been eyeing these adorable vintage-style lovebirds for months, and finally snatched them up. They are ridiculously cute...the bride has eyelashes, a veil, a pearl necklace, and red lipstick. The groom is obviously metro, with his top hat and bow tie.

I am so excited for them to come!! I will make sweet love to them... I mean.... put them on my cake?
