Announcement re: Monogram orders

I just found out that my monogram order form wasn’t working since April 27.  If you have submitted an order, please resubmit by filling out the order form at http://ayleedesigns.gnyc.net/front.html?req-monograms.htm.  I’m so sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

New England & Tri-state Weddings

I will start posting more real wedding inspirations held in venues throughout New England and the Tri-state area.  So stay tuned.  Of course I will start with our own wedding venue: Belle Mer.

In the meantime, I’m posting this adorable photo taken by Kristin Spencer

Isn’t it the cutest?  I wish we could have a flower girl at our wedding, but we don’t know any little girls.

Spices… no wait, they’re sand!

I just found this awesome idea from Bakerella about collecting sand from the places you’ve been and displaying them in pretty jars.  I usually collect magnets, but this sand thing is marvelous.

Don’t they look like spice jars?

Do you collect anything from your travels?
