About Mrs. Cardigan

About 6 weeks after we ordered our cake topper, Mr. Cardigan went to check the mail while he took Cullen out. We had been checking it obsessively for days because we were eagerly anticipating the arrival of our beloved cake topper. I had a minor freak-out when came back through the door with this in his hands:

Eep!! It’s here! It’s here! Oh, and that little orange blur in the bottom right corner is just Cullen freaking out because of how excited I was. He was running in circles and barking at me.

Mr. Cardy set it on the table and immediately began opening it while I took a million pictures like a good little blogger.

The back – look at how cute that little veil is!!!

Oh, and you can’t see it, but this is what was happening while I was taking all of the pictures:

Cullen was very curious what all of the fuss was about!

So, there it is – our incredibly adorable cake topper. We got it from Etsy seller mudcards, and you should definitely go check out her shop if you’re looking for the cutest cake topper ever. ‘Cause she rocks. This was my second ever purchase from Etsy and I think I’m officially addicted!

What has been your favorite Etsy purchase so far? Anyone else have a ridiculously cute cake topper to share?

That is SO cute! I absolutely love it and I love how it’s personalized for you and your Bear.

Maybe I’ll finish ours this weekend and post it.
