GLOVES!

I just bought these beauties on Etsy from Cassie's Attic. I did a search for "crocheted wedding gloves" in the vintage section and ba-boom! Done!

My fingers are longer than the average 1940s woman, though, so hopefully they'll work out....

My soon-to-be-sister-in-law wore lovely crocheted gloves to her Tokyo wedding and I remembered how sweet they are. They get at the pretty, vintage, bride-ey look without being hot (temperature-wise) or OTT.

Registries

So Pip and I did a couple of registries... one at William Ashleys for dishes, cutlery, teapots, etc. and one at the Bay for sheets and pots and pans and things.

I kinda thought it would be fun to do this... like shopping with other peoples' money, but it was kinda icky and un-fun. Icky because we're basically telling people to buy us stuff, and un-fun because it's hard to get excited about towels (cream or white?) and pots and pans, especially when the salespeople were completely NUTS.

I kept thinking "I wish I could just register at IKEA" since they have cuter and more useful stuff and it's so very reasonable.  But they don't do registries.  For instance, I'd love to get a white slipcover for our currently red corduroy couch.  But whateves... it's not about that, right?
