They said "I DO!"

My handsome nephew Justin,  married his beautiful fiance on Saturday and you could
certainly feel  that love  was in the air. They are so sweet together and I truly
believe that God has blessed this union.

I fell in love with the bouquets and Katelyn's dress!

They both struggled not to cry. They did tear up a bit, but quickly recovered and
got on with getting married. :)

 It was cold and breezy when we were outside taking pictures and I found me some shivering
 bridesmaids. lol

I just want to say that I have never really been a fan of the color red, but these cranberry red
dresses and bouquets were gorgeous!!

{My niece LaShawn is on the far left. Her brother is the handsome groom}

Fun times! Mason {young lady  in gray} and Chandler {young man right next to the groom} are my
niece and nephew also. All siblings to the groom. Such a beautiful family!!

Santa Justin was trying to find that garter and he eventually succeeded.  This was so fun. When it was
time to do this, all the groomsmen put on santa hats and dark glasses and they carried Justin down the
 stairs to the floor below where the reception was. Katelyn's brother threw her over his shoulder and
 took her down and sat her in a chair. I hear that Justin knew this was going to happen, but Katelyn
 didn't, but she was fine with it.  *giggle*

Gorgeous bride along with my niece LaShawn.

Told you I loved the bouquet didn't I?? Yep , here it is again. 

Bridesmaids shoes and bouquet

I took so many photos , but I figured you all didn't want to see 300, so I pared them down.

 We had such a busy weekend. My little granddaughter had a ballet recital on Friday evening
that we drove two hours to get to. Then we spent the night with son and family and drove
 three hours to the wedding Saturday.  We spent the night and came home today, but it was
an amazing and beautiful weekend!! We even capped it off by driving along the Lake Erie
shoreline, got out of the car and I took a few pics. It was just a hop and a skip away from
 our motel. :)
What did you do over the weekend?? :)

Teeny Tiny Vintage Cards ~

I adore most any type of vintage paper items and I just love the old cards. They sure don't make them like they used to anymore. I have a collection of teeny tiny gift cards and wanted to share some of them with you today.

Isn't this little birdie so cute along with her pink parasol and flowers~

Love this parasol trimmed with vintage lace as well~ Another adorable little bird ~

Lovely umbrella with daisies~

I want a dress and hat like this~

Just too cute~

Sweet fair maiden bringing gifts~

I have noticed a lot of the older cards have birds on them~

I hope you enjoyed my walk down memory lane. I often wonder what will become of my vintage paper ephemera when I am gone because I don't think my daughter is the least bit interested in it. Although I think my oldest granddaughter would love it! She is a *DETAIL* person like me and she is only 10 years old. (well on June 2nd she will be) She loves to make things out of paper just like I did when I was young and she is always drawing or doodling...hmm...I think I found my answer~ Blessings~
