all the girls on that side of the family have had a bit of her dress with them on there wedding day. even my mom. she wore hers on her veil and so did i.

the hands are mine and my little sisters.

diy wedding diary: project two

the apple tartletts.

these little babies were made easily by just cutting out a round of dough. filling each tartlette with one apple slice and a tad of sweet sweet apple jelly. fold over and press the border with a fork. top with a bit of rosemary and egg wash, pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes. voila!
that's our priestess in there with her hands in the dough. see liz later blessing our rings and the tartlettes make there debut at 'apple hour'.. our version of the after ceremony cocktail hour.

diy wedding diary: project one

the savory pies.
these are the root vegetable pies being made with love. we washed and peeled, boiled and roasted, rolled our dough and pinched each tiny individual pie crust to perfection. there were over a hundred pies in total...but only about 35 of the roasted root vegetable.

mosey on etsy's handmade wedding series

yes. we are so excited. vanessa from etsy contacted me a few weeks back. she asked me a few questions about the wedding dress i made last summer for alise and bens wedding out on peak's island. yes it was so lovely out there. everyone made their way to the island by sea. and all were in good spirits by the time they arrived-and even better boarding the ferry to come home.

by the way--i love etsy. it's been so good to me.
