Hometown Homage

December 11th, 2007 @ 6:14 pm by Mrs. Penguin

Since our wedding is near my hometown, I wanted to find a fun little way to pay respects to Mr. Penguin’s hometown of Minneapolis. I came across this fabulous artist, Adam Turman and his cool Twin Cities 2008 Calendar, perfect for numbering our tables in a fun way. I love using Calendars for art (or table numbers) because you get 12 prints for a great deal! I got this calendar from Lulu.com for $17.54. I’m always on the lookout for great calendars to cut out and frame… lots of times they are cheaper than buying a single print!For our table numbers, we’ll name them Minneapolis/St. Paul landmarks such as:

(Clockwise from top left)
1. Pillsbury
2. St. Anthony Main
3. Minnesota State Fair
4. Lake Harriet
5. Gold Medal Flour
6. Grain Belt

How are you giving a nod to you or your Fiance’s hometown?

sweetheart, i just want to say YOU CRACK ME UP!!! i am watching your “miss penguin shakes her booty” and it had me laughing so hard from the first second.

AND my mom calls me fat too, i’m 5′5″ and 140 as well. After she birthed my little bro she dropped back to 97lbs, crazy lady. She’s mjaybe 5′3″.

I still can’t figure out the whole Bee TV thing, but cool. I love reading your blog too b/c my bf lives in Sactown as well, so I visit often I’ve got my top five bees and you’re in it

Hugs!!!

Hooray for MSP! I grew up about a 90-min drive away, then lived a 20-min drive away for a year after college…. Always assumed I’d settle there when I grew up, but then I moved away from Wisconsin and realized other places aren’t so COLD!

As for the wedding, we’re holding the whole thing in my fiance’s hometown. Which also happens to be where we live now. Everyone I knew back home has moved away, so there was really no point in going to MY hometown.

I agree with Amy we need a Twin Cities bee. Hopefully before my wedding, so I can get some help

Yea! Mpls/St. Paul!

I live in Saint Paul! I’ve seen those prints around at some local stores, and they’re great.

I have no idea what to do in that respect. My BF is a preacher’s kid, and has lived in SD, MO, and NC. Currently they live near Asheville, but I haven’t seen anything that looked like it could work.
