i know that the shameless self-promotion is probably getting awfully tiresome, but one of my favorite internet people, blogspot’s chic ‘n cheap living, just mentioned me in her wishpot list of great wedding items to put on your registry.
check out the post (which contains lots of great advice for those living in small apartments, or who don’t want to collect a lot of stuff) here, and make sure to drop by chic ‘n cheap living. it’s one of my favorites.
to add more fuel to a crazy and amazing week, the giveaway i’m doing this week with pippipandallthat.com got picked up by snippet & ink this morning. pretty awesome. it ends on monday, 12/14/2009 at 5 PM EST — don’t forget to enter!

1) i was featured in etsy finds and the storque yesterday, in their “eskimo kiss” feature. I KNOW. that’s my fascinator in the upper-righthand corner.
i haven’t had a sale since the mail went out & the post went live, but google analytics and my etsy heart tally are both making me very happy.
2) i’ve been chosen to be one of twenty featured crafters at the wedding co‘s wedding show 2010 in toronto next month. it’s my first show, and i’m thrilled to be included! it runs from january 15-17th, and they’ll be giving away one of my fascinators on their blog, following the show. stay tuned for more details on that.
3) i’ve got a fascinator giveaway happening RIGHT NOW over at pip pip and all that! leave a comment on this post before 12/14 at 5PM EST to enter.
phew! it’s only wednesday, and it’s been a huge week. i love it!
-quitting your horrible job is amazing.
-taking a week off in between jobs is even better.
-catching a horrible cold/flu/sinus infection thing two days into aforementioned vacation: NOT AMAZING.
-note to self: kill jerk in movie theater who got me sick.
-starting a new job while you’re still half-dead from whatever affliction you have is not a great plan.
-starting a registry will help you feel better about this.
-sick again. next time, hassle a doctor about antibiotics for your sinus infection. hassle him good.
–kellan studios (awesome photography team) is the shit.

-see also: topazery, for some crazy awesome antique rings. i had a pretty lovely contemporary ring in mind that i’d found online, until i bumped into this site, and the 1940’s rings made my heart go all bump-bump, bump-bump.
-can you believe it’s almost christmukkah? BAH.
more to come. check in tomorrow, i’m thinking about a black friday/cyber monday promotion… let me know if you have any ideas.
i’m back… sort of! moving was grueling — i will never, ever attempt to refinish three pieces of furniture in the week leading up to a move ever again. commuting is almost as hard, but it’s great to be coming home to manhattan again. it’s so reassuring to be inspired by my surroundings again. how can i complain? oh, wait. i have a whole blog about complaining. i’ll find a way.
daveed and i have been mainly preoccupied with unpacking (we actually have way less than we thought), rearranging, and getting settled into new routines (and for him, a new job), so we haven’t had a lot of time to discuss wedding stuff lately. but lunch breaks were made for wedding blogs, so i’ve been peeking in a little bit over the last week, and got a huge kick out of offbeat bride’s post on unexpected groomsmen gifts. my favorite? this hand grenade-shaped soap.
granted, soap isn’t the manliest thing to give to another man, but if you’re going that route, at least it isn’t shaped like a flower, or doesn’t come with a loofa. BOOSH.
