{By the way, the above photo is of my vintage "OLD" orange...(Bakelite, I think)...T.V. It's not the $250 one..."Thanks Again, Leigh Keno"...but I'm pretty sure it has some kind of value also. It may require another email to the Keno brothers to find out! ^_^
It's time to get back to normal!...barring a change in my sleeping patterns. I wouldn't mind a bit if they become abnormal. The normal routine is driving me a little bit crazy! Grrr!...Anyway! I've got a few cute finds to share with you tomorrow....and a question about a button.
And today, I wanna show you the finished custom wedding boutonniere set! :-)
These are the 7 groomsmen boutonnieres...
And even though I don't think I ever would've chosen them to put together myself, the combination of the autumn red and the persimmon are kinda growing on me! :-) I even like the sewn on pin bar in the back!...And, of course, I love the translucent button with the silver all around! ^_^ ....In case you don't know it...I'm a button nut! ^_^
The boutonniere for the groom is still awaiting approval. We had a bit of an issue finding one of the shades he wanted. This is the one we finally decided on...
It's a dark purple in the center, and 'Passion' purple on the outside petals. He wanted it completely different from his groomsmen...with a different button also....What do you think?!
I hope it's a successful endeavor! O_O
If not, it'll be back to the drawing board until I get it right!...crocheting like a mad woman....like normal! ^_^
Speaking of normal, I'm still fretting about what to get hubby for our anniversary, which is......Uhhhh...not our first, but our 30th! And it's Uhhhh...
....THIS MONTH!!!...*gulp!* :-0 I've got about 4 weeks to figure it out!!...HELP Y'all!!! {By the way, the desktop calendar above is a gift from Bonnie, on the going home to roost blog! Just go over to her blog and download it in your size --> HERE.}
Have a good day everybody!....a normal one! :-)
We've had one year
of laughs and fun.
I knew we'd make it,
Honey Bun!
The wedding's over.
The tears are dry.
We're still together,
Sweetie Pie!
Year number two
will be easy-maybe!
We'll make it so.
Okay-Baby?
Making it last
will be our career.
We'll go headlong,
without fear.
For years to come
we'll be right here,
and I'll love you more
each year-My Dear!
Happy soon to be anniversary! Thirty years is really something to celebrate. Love the boutonnieres...what a unique idea...they would still look wonderful on their 30th.
ReplyDeleteAwww! Thank you! :-) It's been a flying 30 years...actually, we've been together almost 35!...And thank you so much for the nice words about my boutonnieres! And I think you're right!... ^_^ ...30 years from now you could stick some baby's breath next to it and they would look fabulous!! ^_^
Delete30 years together... Congratulations to you! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteThat tv is so cute!
Hope you can visit the blog, I'm having a giveaway!
Happy week, my friend.
Yep!...30 years married. It's actually almost 35 together. ^_^ ... And thanks for the nice words about my orange TV too! :-)) ..Heading to your blog to check out what's going on now!...
DeleteI love the boutonnieres! They really turned out great!
ReplyDeleteAs for the problem of what to get your hubby for your anniversary, I have NO idea!! LOL I got mine a new service bag! He loves it!
Hope you figure it out soon! :)
Hi Cindy! :-) I'm so happy that you like the boutonnieres!! I had so much fun making them. I'm still tweaking the groom's boutonniere. Hopefully it'll be all done by tomorrow. It has to be 'PERFECT' for the groom. :-) ... By the way, the service bag was a great idea. Hubby has like 3 great ones already though. I'm having a hard time deciding. I'll come up with something though! ^_^
DeleteI love all the boutonnieres. The Grooms one looks amazing. I love the button you have used. It is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo! :-] But the groom said no to this one. The dark purple in the middle was too much...I love the button too though. And so did he. That's a 'keeper'. :-)
