I was so impressed with Alissa's wedding collage (previously featured as our boutique's front window) that I wanted to post it in blog world so it can live on for eternity! Each element of the collage relates to our wedding in some important way (our invitation, an invitation envelope, our engagement photo, a Polaroid of us where we got engaged, etc.). One of my favorite pieces is highlighted below and was part of the packaging of an engagement present we received from silversmith Miranda Meilleur. She sent us the most adorable/beautiful acid etched silver bowl to hold our rings prior to the ceremony. Not only was the piece itself absolutely amazing but she hand made the box and a card that went along with it. It looks like she used silver-smatterings (that is indeed the technical word :-) with paint to create the beautiful effect seen below on the card. Perhaps we will convince her to share her card-making secrets with all of us! Oh and we will soon have some of Miranda's work in the shop.
