Fit For A Princess

My daughter and I spent the afternoon together having lunch and going to pick up her wedding gown. We ordered it months ago and now to see it in real life is quite a reality check for dear old mom! She looks amazingly beautiful in it ~ the champagne color is exquisite on her. But wow ~ I couldn't believe how heavy it is! I debated about posting a picture of the dress here and ultimately decided against it. I am old-fashioned and a bit superstitious and I would hate for the groom to happen upon it and ruin the surprise for the Big Day. So instead I will show you the veil and tiara she selected. I can't believe my little princess is going to wear a tiara. She was a bit hesitant about it at first, but when she put it on with the dress, we both knew she had to have it. Now we just have to find a place to store the dress for the next 3 months ~ and in a house with not much closet space, that is going to be a real challenge!

Show & Tell Sunday. . .On Tuesday!

Sunday Cerri and Analise had another installment of their Show & Tell Sunday feature and I was out of town so couldn't post any pics of my vintage bling. So I'm taking the advice of the old adage, "Better late than never" and posting my photos a couple days late. Hope you enjoy the trip down Vintage Lane!
I love these pastel enameled pieces.A little red jewelry for some spice!
