A Final Wedding

Saturday marked the last wedding of the season. We had quite a few to attend this summer, all very lovely. I suppose that as we enter our late 20s we will attend many more as all of our friends "mature" (we'll see).

And a new clutch for the event from this book. The fabric for both the outside and lining as well as the button all came from the same garage sale last weekend. It was one of those "jackpot" sales. The entire living room was stacked with fabric, the hallway filled with vintage buttons, trim, binding, thread... pretty much anything crafty you can imagine, even sparkly red pipe cleaners for Connor. The woman, an ex-interior designer, was getting rid of 99% of her pocessions (home included), buying a motor home and taking to the road. Wow!

Anyhow, farewell to our summer weddings. This last one was quite nice. It took place outside at the bride's parents' home: candles, lanterns, fresh outdoor air, and old friends that we have not seen in a long time. It reminded me alot of my own wedding - good memories.
