Something Old For You and Your Bridesmaids
I was first introduced to Smitten Kitten at the One of a Kind Show last Christmas. You can't miss her booth, it's super cute!

She has a repertoire of her own scarves, but you can also bring your own scarf for a custom job.
As the weather turned colder we pulled all of our winter stuff out of storage, and I was excited to see my brooch again. It got me thinking - this would be perfect for "something old"!

In addition to being prescribed some systemic (pills) and topical treatments to prevent breakouts, I was also offered an mini injection ($10 per injection). Before you get too scared, let me explain.

There are several amazing submissions capturing varying themes and styles for your viewing pleasure. Truthfully, I'm simply thrilled that my suggestions appear alongside such creative and thoughtful entries. A big thank you to onesmallstar for taking the time to post all of my items!
I concentrated my picks around a poppy theme inspired by a tea set I inherited from my Grandmother, and added in a few additional signature pieces. I've displayed a selection of my picks above, but you can read the full article on etsy titled "andrea: 4 *plus* things for my poppy wedding"
