a vintage wedding..

Aren't these photos pure happiness?? I LOVE all the dresses and frills and flappers! it also looks like everyone learned "The Charleston"!!
her hair just so happens to be PERFECT for it too! I love her head piece with the flowers on it! and her bouquet is the perfect vintage looking bouquet ever!

I love the decorations! and how everyone came in vintage 20's style..
this is a super cute idea! They had photo shoots with the bridal party and bride and groom and they had them at the wedding for people to take home and look at.this photography is so beautiful!I love how goofie everyone is! it looks like they were having waaay too much fun! the heart shaped glasses are awesome. :) and well.. you would have to have these names to get hitched so awesomely!
I'll leave you to plan your wedding.. but i thought this would inspire you. :) *cheers*

In a Pickle

I decided I wanted to can some pickles this year. So I did. :) I canned 4 quart jars of Mrs. May's (of May Farm Cottage) Dill Pickles. Can't wait to taste them! And then I canned 2 quart jars of some bread and butter pickles. We tasted those yesterday and they were yummy!

It was fun and easy and WAY cheaper than buying pickles from the store. YES! I think I'll make some more soon. We're going to run out of pickles pretty quick I think.

You should try it too! :)
Hope everyone is enjoying the Autumn. Isn't it beautiful??

Love,
Genevieve

Hello friends!

This is a set of cards that I made for my sisters birthday this Summer. I love this stamp set from Stampin' Up. I have used it many times already and just love the versatility of them.

Aren't the colors delicious? They are called Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red.

These are the coordinating envelopes that go with it. Mrs. D (my Stampin' Up demonstrator) says "Never send a naked envelope!". So I stamped these with my sisters initial and a pretty flower stamp (also from the same set!).

My Stampin' Up demonstrator has stamping parties that are SO fun to go to. She has the best ideas! If any of you are interested, let me know and I'll invite you to the next one.

Have a beautiful day!
Genevieve

Windmills of your mind..

Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
