they're married!!!

hello friends! its been a busy last 2 months {as i warned}...and its not quite over! one of the highlights of our busi-ness and travels was my sister's wedding in february! i thought you all might like a sneak peek of a truly gorgeous day!

rant edward and krystal kathleen Gmarried on saturday, february 27th, 2010! way off the beaten path of tyler, texas at a little plantation on the steps of a tiny chapel. it was sun shine skies, gorgeous grounds, and a pleasant, but at times chilling breeze. it was perfect!

Every last detail of the bride was "so krystal"! from the vintage brooch on her dress, the handmade silk ruffled jacket she and mom designed to keep those shoulders warm, the peacock blue shoes adorned with her own touch...vintage shoe clips, to the feather plumed headpiece she made herself, and the chic veil that swept her face {also created by her}, to the vintage earrings i knew she had to have...when i spotted them in my jewelry box...all the way to the gorgeous rings on her fingers!!!

M any tears were shed as the bride walked down the aisle. there is something so raw and sheerly {yep! made that word up...i think!} sweet about a groom crying at the sight of his bride and the thought of her becoming his wife. the ceremony was small {just as they wanted it}, intimate, and just the right size...it was so perfect, heartfelt, and personal.

mirrors and mommy

for those of you who stop by my little bloggity for lovelies other than my handsome boy...one of these days i will get back to crafts and fab finds...at least my mom says i will! a bit after the little mister boy was born i walked into my studio and felt so overwhelmed. i looked at my mom and wondered if i would ever be interested or have the time for it again...she says i will. i'm going to venture to guess though that it won't be until i at least get to wash my hair AND flat iron it on a regular basis {i've given up that i'll ever make it to step 3 again of curling it}! yep...glory be...its washed but not flat ironed or curled in these pictures...don't judge...that much was worth praise!

{ oh mommy you're right...i am handsome! }

my little mister boy loves mirrors! when he was a week or so old i realized that he heard how handsome he was on a daily basis...multiple daily basis...and i thought he should get to see for himself! so i would take him to the mirror and show him how precious he was! he loves to look in the mirror...it just makes him grin so big...so big!!

half the time i wonder if that grin is so big because behind him he sees mommy lookin' rough because she most likely didn't get dressed for the day!

checking out his shoes that already fit...his chi chi shoes! thanks aunt chi chi! he loves them! i can't believe they already fit...but daddy and all his uncles have "big" feet so he was bound to have them too...he does!
