my stars




stasia is an amazing artist. she has a gorgeous etsy shop i can't stay away from. i've had these little stars on my wishlist for a while...not sure how much longer i can resist :) before i stumbled on her shop (i'm always on the lookout for stylish plugs in a smaller gauged size) i'd been wearing the same pair of stinky pyrex glass plugs for about 5 years. now i've got three pairs from her, one on the way, and a custom pair in the works. nuts! but her stuff is so beautiful--hand shaped, hand hammered silver, gemstones, dangles--every piece special. stasia, please stop--i've only got one pair of ears!!



i even wore a pair of her heart plugs on my wedding day... not that you could even see them for all my crazy hair. this pic was taken post-nuptials, post-sobbing-during-our-vows, post-ripped-my-adorable-vintage-flower-veil-off. biggest smile ever, right? beforehand i was crazy and nervous the entire week leading up to the wedding. i don't know if it's normal for all brides-to-be to have mad jitters, but i did! i kept thinking all the what-ifs--what if i hurt him, what if something terrible happens, what if what if what if. at the end of the day, he's perfect for me. the most loving, most nurturing man. funny, smart, adorable and true blue. i'm so lucky!! and, happy. he's the stars in my eyes.
