#164 Exciting News: Parts Two + Three!

I've been a little quiet of late because there's been some big happenings in our house, but without further ado, the second piece of big news is....

I'm running away to join the circus!!!

Ok, so that's a blatant lie. But I am truly running away? At the end of this week I will be deserting my little family & heading off solo to Asia for just over 5 weeks.
I'm quite nervous & very excited! It does mean that things are going to get even quieter around here as I will be trying to focus 100% on taking it all in, but I'm sure I'll find some lovely things to share once I return. I do hope you'll wait for me!

The second piece of exciting news is....

I'm running away to join the circus!!!

Yup sorry, another lie. I have no idea what has come over me?

The second piece of very exciting news is that my lovely man & I have decided to move our little family to Adelaide!
This will likely mean another extended period of quiet blog time, or of very sporadic chatter at the least...
When I return from my trip I will be flying directly to S.A so there will be no time in between for a reunion with online wedding land & as things will be a bit crazy for a while as we try to settle in I'm afraid I might be absent for a while longer.
I wish I could say that congratulations were in order for my devious skill in avoiding the big move by scampering off overseas, but alas the copious amounts of packing are to blame for this weeks silence as I am attempting to pack before i leave and it will all be waiting for me in storage when I come back. That's a great big fail in sneakiness isn't it?!

However, I'm reeeeeaaally looking forward to some incredibly exciting wedding fun projects in 'Radelaide' & definitely looking forward to some certain super love projects with some amaaaazing people that I can't wait for. Hope to then share of course! If anyone is still here when I get back that is... eek!

It's also likely that there will be a fourth piece of exciting news (how much excitment can one person take i ask you?!) that will 'occur' in my absence, likely september, that I may recruit someone else to share with you...

Hope to see you/ hear from you on the other side of the insanity!

All my love, C x

#150 Favour Bags

I did consider making these newspaper gift bags (Mr N & I met in a newsagents) using this tutorial from the fabulous How About Orange, cute & you're recycling too!
There are so many fantastic choices for favour boxes & bags. It's worth taking the time to find one that fits the feel of your wedding, as well as your budget, perfectly.
There are also a lot of gorgeous & simple diy options if there's a little room on your to do list?

Given my fondness for a rustic theme, the inclusion of jute bags is hardly suprising?

Calico is such a simple, pretty & versitile medium, especially for diy-ers...

I love the look of craft paper bags, especially when a little creative quirk is added.

The paper bags with the printed menu & the peg are my favourites, great concept & so effective!

#116 Wedding Projects

I love typewriters for many reasons, not the least of which is that type font plain just makes me happy.

I've found some good websites which have any font you could possibly dream of for your weddingy project needs, & I pulled a few strings so that they are free, just for you! I'm just that helpful... 

Ok ok, so they are always free for everyone. But it's the thought that counts right?

Might I recommend perusing the typewriter fonts? In all seriousness though, to quote Charles R. Swindoll 'The difference between something good & something great is attention to details." Choose the font that's perfect for you. The one that expresses something of your or your partners personality OR just because you love it. I'm not sure about wingdings though... It might be a little bit hard for your guests to read the invite that’s all… You know what I mean?

So here they are - dafont & fontspace

I hope they make your projects, your details, that little bit more brilltastic!

On the subject of projects, another super little find lately has been this decorative eco cotton tape from Cute Tape

This is one of those million project uses kinda things for sure.

(Even though I don't neeeeeed it, I'm so getting some. Who knows when it might be just the thing I need eh?!)
