Then you might be interested in the two Craigslist Mason Jar listings I ran across over the weekend. 

Canning Supplies in VA Beach - 19 jars:

Aqua Mason Jars in Frederick, MD:

And just think, you could make jam  or tomato sauce and reuse them after the wedding.  JK. If I were you, I'd resell them to the next sucker who falls for this beautiful countrified look.

Any Craiglist jack pot stories to share?

*Sale Alert* J. Crew Shoes

This is a new feature on the site - reminiscent of the K-mart Blue Light special. I see a really good find, I share the really good find. Simple.

Today I ran across these:

The Cate satin high heel slingbacks from J. Crew.

Add a little something like this:

From Beadtopia Vintage's shop

And maybe even a guinea feather or two, and you've got yourself a special pair.

To be a summer bride . . .

99% of the time I'm quite happy to be a winter bride. Otherwise, I wouldn't be getting married on a palindrome and I'd be fighting the other 100 billion brides for florists in June.

But 1% of the time, I see shoes like these and wish, and sigh. Oh, to be a summer bride . . .

Avignon silk peep toes
J. Crew Sale $179.99
For a daring bridal shoe or fabulous rehearsal dinner shoes

Clara satin espadrilles
J. Crew Sale $79.99
Bridesmaids shoes - wouldn't these be adorable for a beach wedding with the groomsmen wearing searsucker????

Avignon patterned peep toes
J. Crew Sale $149.99
Again, either daring bridal shoes, or awesome with a solid flowy chiffon dress for the dress rehearsal!

Metallic midheel sandals with crystal ball
J. Crew Sale $149.99
Holy moly! Picture these bad boys with a short dress! Seriously, I could tear up the dance floor with these.

Catalina jeweled printed ballet flats
J. Crew Sale $249.99
I still may call this highway robbery, but J. Crew calls it a sale. In any event, these would be awesome for a springy shower, the dress rehearsal, even a great mother of the bride shoe!

Jacquelyn patent heels
J. Crew Sale $249.99
Now these . . . if I were going to spend over 200 on a pair of shoes, these just might be worth it - and I think they could work for a winter wedding.

For you summer gals, enjoy! Are there any looks that you wish you could do, but just aren't right for your season?
