You're So Pretty

Remember our inaugural giveaway?  (I know, I know.  Everyday is a giveaway on my blog, since I dispense -- for no charge -- so much wisdom.  But I mean a giveaway of something real, something of actual value.)

Crafter extraordinaire BusyButtons customized a ring pillow for lucky winner Katie and was lovely enough to send me photos of the gorgeous creation.

Lace!  Rosettes!  Button!  Drool.

Tecolote Tank

It's too late for me to get a ring pillow, so if and when a paycheck comes in, in honor of Busybuttons, I'm racing to Anthro to pick up some rosettes of my very own, in the form of the Tecolote Tank.

Inaugural Giveaway: Marie Antoinette Ring Pillow

It's no secret I love vintagey lace, fabric flowers, and buttons. Imagine all the oohing and ahhing I did when Etsy seller and crafter extraordinaire BusyButtons showed me their gorgeous "Marie Antoinette" ring pillow.  And when this mother-daughter team offered to do a giveaway of this ring pillow on my little blog, there was much giddiness, off-tempo clapping, and awkward jigging on my part.

Got that pathetic image out of your head?  Good, because you're in for some serious gorgeousness in the form of this pillow:

Isn't it so darling?  And perfect not just for a decadent, rococo wedding, but even for a rustic outdoor wedding with an Anthropologie-esque edge.

And best of all, you can customize this pillow with your choice of ribbon to match your wedding colors.  J'adore!
