so did you watch?
woowee we sure did!
we had 5am raisin scones. DIY decor by the fabulous designeditor. and all-age friendly peppermint tea in my mother's fancy china tea cup collection! little rikrak thought it splendid!
how delightful!
and over all the oohing and aahing we were all remarking on how fabulous it is that this wedding, surely the most watched wedding in a long time, is, so FABULOUSLY handmade. i doubt there's been such a huge handmade wedding! i would guess all the various components: the gown, the dresses, the flowers, the decor, the commissioned music, the brilliant food, the stationary, the various fabulous fusses: all no doubt, handmade!
well that's a glorious thing indeed!
yay handmade weddings. and keepsakes of such!
now... deep below acid-free tissue papers and protective coverings, packed carefully away in a storage box in the basement, lies my 1981 royal wedding scrapbook: filled to the brim with newspaper clippings, photographs and kitschy paper souvenirs of that *other* royal wedding many moons ago: diana & charles.

i'll admit it. i may not be much of a monarchist, or a souvenir-ist, but i love a fun fancy wedding. it's not the kind i'd like for myself, but it seems as though there's a little bit of *how-about-being-a-princess-for-a-day* in so many of us! would you agree?
so to commemorate THIS royal wedding, how about some fabulous handmade keepsakes from around the world. kitschy and oh-so-fun.
happy celebrating!
did you do anything special to remember the day by?
have a joyous weekend, nicies!
