Current Obsession: Paper crafts

I've developed quite the obsession with hand-crafted paper décor in the last few weeks. 

Garlands, banners, buntings, rosettes, pinwheels, wreaths, flags. They're all beautiful, easy to make, and super inexpensive. Plus, you can use (or reuse) any paper you like.

I was trying to find a way of working these paper lovelies into the wedding decor, but then I thought perhaps they would be perfect projects for our rehearsal dinner BBQ the night before the wedding.

I'm still not sure about the color scheme. I'm really, really liking the newspaper look, but it definitely needs a pop of color. I also have a vintage book of Shakespeare's works, whose pages are falling out, which may have found its purpose:

Here's some more vintage paper and newspaper craft inspiration for you. So pretty.

This neutral, grey palette sooo matches our rustic chic wedding décor. Might just have to add it to the (never-ending) to-do list.

Oh where, oh where can I get me these?

Sperry Top-Sider Shearwater.

They were on my feet. 

Then I hesitated. 

Then I came back to the store and they were gone.  For good.

Sold out across the universe it seems. Well in this color anyway. The gray leopard print ones are still available and the brown/tattersall ones too. But I'm in love with the navy/tan.

Size 8, please. Anyone? Boy/man are you reading this?
