I'm excited!

I ran over to Michael's last night to get some ideas about DIY wedding jewelry. The only thing that I found of any interest was Ecru colored glass pearl beads. Almost 200 beads for $4.00. So this will definitely make a nice bracelet, earrings, and maybe a necklace. The one thing that I was really looking for I couldn't find. This morning I asked fellow knotties if they knew where to find a cheap antique brooch-to make the bracelet with. This is EXACTLY the one that I wanted! I think the price of this DIY bracelet will be under $25 dollars. The ones on Etsy.com are going for $65. So yea I am thrilled about this. I have also been thinking about the kind of earrings I want. When I noticed that I don't have a ton of money to spend on the wedding jewelry I began to re-think my orignal plan. I initially thought that I wanted some big blingy earrings. However, since it's a midday wedding I think it might be more appropriate to wear a smaller pearl dangle type of earring. I found this pair on Overstock.com. I LOOOVEE them and love the fact that they are hand made. However, the details say that they are white pearls. So these won't work. I'll just have to keep searching.
