I have a lot of new wedding items to show you!

For now I am posting a piece of jewelry made by me.

Zibbet

Yes this post isn't about weddings, but it is about handmade, and selling handmade items.

UPDATE: Zibbet sold out of $7 dollar accounts so they are $8 dollars now HOWEVER they posted this:

SPECIAL OFFER

Because of the downtime we had whilst upgrading our servers, many sellers missed out on getting their $7/month Premium Account. We are allowing sellers ONLY 48 hours (until 10AM Wednesday, 31st March) to grab their Premium Account at the lowest rate of $7/month. You’ll need to enter coupon code: PREMIUMDISCOUNT when signing up / upgrading. To upgrade, simply login to your account and then click on the ‘Upgrade My Account’ link.

PLEASE USE MY LINK to sign up! Thanks! http://www.zibbet.com/bridaljewelry4u/sell

So I am very dedicated to Etsy and I absolutely love it there but someone referred me to Zibbet the other day and it is AWESOME.

Bare with me here...

Zibbet has little widgets you can add to the side of your page! You can have Etsy on your Zibbet page!!

Not only that but there are no listing fees and no fees taken out when you sell something! If you want the premium account it's only $7 dollars a month (which is much less than I pay for Etsy) and it lets you customize your entire site.

I figured why not just try it. There is a FREE 7 day trial code to try out the premium which is FREETRIAL so make sure you enter that when trying.

If you are going to try please click on here so I get a discount on my monthly bill for referring you! http://www.zibbet.com/bridaljewelry4u/sell

Wedding Vows Personalized Painting

The first wedding vows painting with the church was inspired by the vows which were on the invitation to my brother-in-law’s wedding. I wanted to do something memorable with the wording as a wedding gift. The church was just a practical reminder of the blessing of their love on this special day. It was a last minute idea the night before the wedding. I stayed up all night and managed to squeeze about 2 hours of sleep in prior to the wedding. Through this and other late night paintings, I have found I am at my most creative during this half dreamy, half wakeful state of mind, where you just paint and do not question every stoke. The second example was a custom order request for someone that wanted a painting that matched her friends taste and used the wording from her wedding. So each painting is as original as the recipients.

Handmade ties! A feature of frogsandflowers!

Sometimes it is a bit tricky when you try to tie all the colors of a wedding together, and these ties are the answer to that problem! You, the Bride, may choose up to 3 fabrics for these ties. I will work with you to create the look you want and need. Ties are made with cotton fabrics, and can be made in any color combo or print!!!

The creator of these fabulous ties is Sharlene. Sharlene lives in CT with her husband and two little boys. Her work is found in NY boutiques as well as other places throughout the USA. She can also be found on many boutique websites. Sharlene also has an etsy store.

How often to post?

Ok a have a dilemma that I want YOUR help with.
How often should I post on this blog? Do want a new one everyday? Every other day? Twice a week? Once a week? Or on no particular schedule?

AndreasGoodies Feature. Custom Wedding Favors.

Are you looking for favors for you wedding? You should get them from AndreasGoodies! This talented Etsian creates custom cookie favors. They are adorable decorated and are only $1.50 per. cookie!

Here is what Andrea has to say: I am a mom of two young boys and my main job is staying at home and taking care of them. I also am the wife of a pastor and love to support him in his ministry. Baking is one of my favorite things to do. I have always made goodies for family events but at some point I started doing more.
The first major event that started my whole quest was when I had a friend who was getting married and she needed an idea for favors. I really wanted to help her so I was trying to think of what I could do for her. I decided to make her custom decorated sugar cookies for her special day. They went with her color scheme and were personalized with her wedding date, names,etc. Everyone loved them! I remember when I was at the wedding I wanted to find one to eat and they were ALL gone! No kidding....not a single one in sight.
And that's how it all started. I started to think....what other special events can I make these for. And it didn't stop with cookies. I now bake/make all kinds of things for weddings, parties, birthdays, etc.
I think my favorite part of baking my custom items is being able to contribute to someone's special day. I love to hear about a theme/color scheme, or a little about the VIP and make something special just for them. I rarely make two items that are the same. I find myself hearing about themes and thinking "hmm....what can I make to go perfectly with that." Or I see a a theme and think..."what can I make that will match that." I truly love to bake and have sine I was a little girl (although I do think I am a little better now.) :)
