Bridesmaid Gift Ideas

I'm loving artist Kathy bransfield's handmade necklaces.
How adorable are these for bridesmaids or yourself. :) I found this on her website:

inside reads “A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you today just the way you are” –Proverbs 27:17

and this stunning braille "I Love You" necklace was found at Uncommon Goods

artichokes!

yes, you read right. artichokes. I recently became inspired to try and find some non-traditional, non-floral wedding or party table decor. Let me know if you see any other pictures floating around, as I found it quite difficult to come up with some gorgeous artichoke texture shots. Enjoy!
