About Me: 1950's housewife sent to the future, reborn as crafting-obsessed, jill of all trades. I enjoy decorating, writing, baking sweet things, singing show tunes/dancing in public, wearing pearls, and knitting sweaters for my furbaby, Harvey, to chew upon. I heart pink, and believe that sparkles are the new black.
Life is Sweeter and Completer in a Chevrolet Deluxe!

Thanks, everyone for all your kind suggestions on how to lighten my finish-your-wedding-plans-in-a-month-load! The suggestions to delegate were especially useful - I just didn’t expect that people would delegate tasks upon themselves! 
Exhibit A:
The lovely and uber-helpful Miss Gingerbread found a sweet ad in the Vancouver Craiglist, contacted the poster, and sent me the information she received.
Now, Mr. Shortcake and I will have this SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET 1952 black Chevrolet deluxe as our chariot-of-choice!

Thank you so much for your help, Miss Gingerbread.YOU ROCK!
How 1950’s can you get? We are SO PUMPED!! 
The car’s owner, Rob, is also very excited by the thought of his car being in a 1950’s - style wedding, and told us we could decorate “Walter” however we wanted! Woot! Woot!
What is your wedding transportation?

Thats one classy car! Love it Shortcake. Great find! Were going 1957 ivory Bentley (I wanted Black but they didnt have it) I cant wait to see your pictures in that car….
What a beautiful ride! Nice work, Miss Gingerbread!!
That’s going to make for some ridiculously cute pictures, omg. Can’t wait to see!
We’ve also booked Walter for our July wedding (thanks also to Miss Gingerbread). We’re not planning on many decorations, Walter’s gorgeous as is, but maybe a cheesy ‘just married’ sign on the back for the pictures . . . what are you thinking of?
I’m Walter’s pimp! I am so excited that you are going to use him. What a perfect fit
Perfect, just PERFECT!
And hurray for you, auto-pimp GB!
Hey, Miss GB, can you find me one of those in Portland, Oregon?? 
Awesome find!
We had one of those at our wedding!
1951 Chevy Styline Deluxe sedan! It made for some amazing pictures….
I am looking for something like this for my New Orleans wedding…I can’t find anything down here 
Good work Miss Gingerbread!!
Great find. It’ll make for fab pictures.
As we’re having both our ceremony and reception at the same venue, we’re not planning, nor have we budgeted, on hiring out transportation. If we were though, Walter would fit the bill quite nicely.
Is Walter available for rent? Any chance you could send me the contact info, that is EXACTLY what we’re looking for.
LOL..this guy is gettign sooo much bizness. i love how networking works.
thats a sweeeet ride. Can’t wait to see pics you stuffed in the back with all that tulle around you!
Oh, that’s a beautiful car! And kudos to Ms. GB for helping you out! Yay teamwork!
