happy anniversary

Cheers and loads of love for the 4 magical years with my A. I look forward to many many more beautiful days together filled with love and laughter. Something tells me that 2012 is going to be an extra special year........

(A quiet moment filled with our giggles just moments after we married. A. is whispering to me "We're married, we're MAUIED" )

Archiving the Dress

You've searched high and low for the perfect wedding dress, the big day comes, you wear it, celebrate and after, in the box it goes, waiting, patiently, that just maybe, someday, someone else will come along and wear it again. But before that pretty little dress finds a new home in the hall closet or heads out to shine for another blushing bride, why not archive your special dress with an avant guarde portrait? Photographer, Dorothy O'Oconnor, has been capturing the feminine spirit of the wedding dress for many sentimental brides with her 4x5 camera, creating portraits that will tell the unique, dreamy story over and over again. How sweet is that? And wouldn't it make for a lovely anniversary gift?

little natale and anniversaries in Italy.............

Our anniversary was this week, so I thought I would share a little sweet moment of our candlelight picnic in living room....After the little feast, we decorated our, piccolo albero di natale = isty bitsy christmas tree....
This is our second Christmas living together, so we have no ornaments, last year we only had white lights, so this year we decided to keep it simple and we made paper snowflakes.
