Mrs. Barrettes, Tumon, Guam/Napa, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Dancer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Licensed Building Contractor Engagement Date: November 16, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: V. Sattui Winery About Me: I'm an East Coast girl, living on a tiny little island in the Pacific, twirling, leaping, and shimmy-ing my way through life, and now, wedding planning! I'm equal parts nerdy and cool... okay, mostly nerdy. I love satin bows, red lipstick, black & white graphic anything, the shine of sequins and the sound of a champagne "pop". My favorite books are The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James, and Tender is the Night, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I can also conjure a pretty good Patronus Charm. I started my appreciation for good red wine while traveling on the high seas, and it's only fitting that my passion for wine drinking led me to my Napa-bred honey. We bonded over bottles of Cabernet on my oceanfront porch and haven't looked back since. We're sealing the deal at a winery in the Napa Valley on a 'perfect ten' of a day!

DIY I Couldn’t Resist Sharing

I know I said ’bye, but sometimes things are just too cute not to share.

This pretty DIY cigar box from Cathe Holden caught my eye and my first thought was, “some bride, somewhere, will totally run with this.”

(via Just Something I Made)

I so wish I would have found this in my planning days. Cigars aren’t really my thing, but being showcased in a pretty box would win me over. Packed with Cubans—this is a winner!

We are using a silverplated 19th century cigar box as our card box - they are not just wonderful for cigars
