Friday, fabulous friday, I heart you! Work bites the big one!

Thanks for all the awesome words on the mittens. I wish I lived in a cool climate so that I could actually wear the damn things. I think that my cutiepie mittens are destined for decor in our study - it’s the Cold Room, because 80% of the air conditioning in the house gets piped in there.

I got a package today - a necklace from Art School Dropout. Pretty cute, huh? I’ve had the website bookmarked forever, and finally got around to buying something. Blue, I am full of love for you. White, you’re cool too. My current everyday necklace is this teeny little bird one from Small Things designs, and I’m kind of tired of it. Although I did get a compliment from someone at the YH event last weekend. Thanks, random knitter!

Seen outside the Menil last weekend - a Knitta Please antenna cozy. Rob was mildly horrified.

I’m off to spend my hard-earned moola in a tax-free Texas this weekend. Wahoo!

It’s been one year since Rob and I got married.

We got married in Buffalo, where my family is from. It was somewhat difficult to plan the wedding - I’m not much of a wedding planner type, and there are many sucky things in Buffalo, especially regarding weddings. Also, there weren’t a ton of resources to plan it from afar, but we found some quality Buffalonians on the web. Hopefully this info will help someone with their planning!

• We got married at the Delaware Park Casino. It kicked ass. In late May, their rose garden was a gigantic tulip garden, and was gorgeous. You have to be pretty careful with the weather in Buffalo that early in the summer, but we lucked out and the ceremony was beautiful.
• Our flowers were from Thrive Flowerstudio. Trish was great to work with and the flowers were funky and beautiful.
• Wendy Mitchell was our photographer. She was super fun and personable and took great photos.

These guys all rocked and are definitely recommended. We also had some awesome musicians, but I can’t recall their names right now. During dinner, we had a violinist and accordion player serenading people during dinner. I poo-pooed the idea at first, but everyone loved them. The violinist also played in a trio during the ceremony, which was fab.

London and knitting photos to come. I was in MA last weekend, visiting the old stomping grounds (but not Webs - they were closed on Monday, boo!). My flight from Dallas to IAH was super delayed, so I grabbed a standby ticket to Hobby. However, my checked bag still flew to IAH, and my camera is in it. We will be reunited on Thursday, when I drop Rob off to the airport…
