WE"RE GETTING MARRIED!!!! Not right now...heck we aren't even officially engaged(yet...he has the ring but wont give it to me LOL)....but he has given me the full go ahead to start planning our wedding. Ok so you might be thinking I am crazy, you're probably right but he loves me anyways. I've been thinking about what I wanted, while browsing random wedding websites I saw this AMAZING bouquet but there is NO WAY I can and will pay $500 for a bouquet made of brooches. Being pretty crafty I thought to myself..."Self you can do this! You just need to go visit thrift stores!" It started off slow, I found a gold feather by Sarah Coventry for $1 at Goodwill(Shelby-my favorite). Then the ball started rolling. This past weekend I found 14 at different thrift stores and the 221 Flea Market. With the new additions it has brought my total up to 32.....38 more to go! I really want the enamel colorful flowers but they are extremely hard to find hopefully I will find more. As I make progress I will update along with how I am making it! :)
