SPICE UP the FAVORS

How many weddings have you been to?? I had as many as 10 in 1 year (the most) and I am sure you do too. What do you do with all those favors you can't use?? Can't throw them away because you'll feel quilty... ???

Well, I came across this shop on ETSY and just had to share with everyone. These are spices all in cute tiny little tin cans. All SO PERFECT used separately as wedding favors. You can set them all up on tables and everyone can choose their favorite spices OR name tag them to who you think will love that spice. A great way to get to know your friends a little better. More personal and definitely very useful. So if you or you know someone that's getting marry, remember these cute little SPICE UP items.

Adding On.... A new BM look

Absolutely loving my new dress!!!

I was trying to make a new bridesmaid dress, but wanted to make a dress pretty enough for ANYTHING!! Anyone would be a stunner wearing this number. The color is a vibrant orange red, a poppy/ hibiscus color with a neutral sand sash to accentuate the waistline.

The idea is for BMs to love their dresses and be able to wear their dress anywhere afterwards since they do have to pay for it. Most BMs don't like their dresses 100% and such a waste of money if they will just trash it after the wedding. With this dress, you can still look sexy, flirty, girly and with 144 different colors to choose from from my swatchbook, the bride will sure be as happy as you are.

The new BMs: different look/idea for all those trendy bridesmaids out there not seeing anything they like!!

Been busy so this is the only way to put new stuff out for now. Not updating my website for a while. Thank god for quick uploads on BLOGs!!!

Im Dyeing

Today I just dyed a pile of cotton fabric for my little girls Spring line. I am pretty busy with brides and weddings for the next few months, but people were also asking if I will be adding more to AugustAnna. So today I dedicated 1/2 the day to just dyeing fabric for SPRING/SUMMER...look like a a pile of cotton candy rather than fabric. SOOO sweet!!
