Miss Fox's Picture
Miss Fox, Washington DC/Havre de Grace, MD Age and Occupation: 26, Massage Therapist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Field Support Engineer Engagement Date: April 18, 2010 Wedding Date: June 2012 Venue: Vandiver Inn About Me: I’m a dancer turned massage therapist who was born and raised in New York. Alas, true love has brought me “south” where I still maintain my penchants for pretty shoes, wine, crossword puzzles, cherry blossoms, and the Mets. I own more sunglasses than a normal person should and don’t eat red meat (though I make up for it by eating my weight in sushi). I tend to be a big planner who likes to get things started early, but generally end up being indecisive and procrastinating when it comes down to it. I have a (not so) secret crush on Chris Carrabba, but my loyalty and love ultimately goes to the future hubs, of course! Together, my Foxy man and I love to discuss (read: debate) politics and current events, have Mario Kart and Scrabble duels, and just laugh. A lot. We’re hoping and planning for a laid back, fun, summery, rustic vibe to our June wedding that will be genuinely “us” – that is, if we finally make some decisions. Huzzah!
About Miss Fox

Etsy Love

October 7th, 2011 @ 1:01 pm by Miss Fox

I might end up having about 58 posts with the same title by the time this whole wedding shebang actually comes to fruition.

I was perusing Etsy at work yesterday, per usual, and found even more amazing things that I would love to incorporate into our wedding. You could call it inspiration, but I’m pretty certain that I will figure out how to have most of these elements involved somehow!

1. Cute animal cake topper

I believe they call these little guys “love angels” from Kikuike’s store. They have cake toppers in any animal you could possibly imagine, and most you can get in any color combination you can dream up. I don’t know if these animal cake toppers are a “trend” in the wedding world right now, but I just can’t get enough of them! When I came across these penguins, I fell in love instantly. First off, they just happen to be displayed in our colors (!!), and second, I love me some penguins. I think it’s the whole mating for life thing.

But…then I found these.

Have you ever??! It would a perfect way to have the hive with me on the big day!

So while I know that I have tons of time until I actually need to legitimately start thinking about a cake topper, I am SO tempted to buy one of these little guys right now. I will definitely need to save a bit for them, though. And no, I’m not DIY’ing that shiz.

2. Paper-heart garland

Seriously, how cute is this garland from Pickled Parlour’s shop? She uses a variety of sheet music and double-sided card stock to make the hearts…and I totally dig it! I can see this being draped on the gazebo by which we’ll be getting married, or even on the venue’s porch somewhere during cocktail hour. The best part is, my super awesome friend peachplum09 sent me fabulous DIY instructions so I can likely make ’em myself!

3. Blue Mason jars

I found these from mattlaurajones’s shop, and yes, I know these are all the rage right now, but there’s just something so rustic-chic about them. I’m thinking of using them as mini-centerpieces on cocktail tables with various wildflowers or baby’s breath in each one…sigh. The color is the perfect shade of turquoise, too!

4. “Just Married” banner

I know you’re thinking I’m going to have decor and garland/banner overload, but I really just want this cute burlap banner from Victorian Station’s shop so we can get the same picture. So freaking cute. And I’m 99% sure I can DIY this one, too!

Oh Etsy, stop getting me in trouble. Because we just went from inspiration to I-must-have-that-or-else-I’m-going-to-die. Thanks.

What are your current Etsy lusts?

Do it, do it, buy the Fox topper!! I know I am being a horrible influence on your bank account. I am still cringing at the $150 price tag for the topper I want (what will I do with it after? Stare at $150 worth of clay? BUH). But, those are too perfect! Etsy will be the death of my savings.

I did exactly the same thing!!!! I did find some REALLLLY cute and WAY cheaper things from Indigotwinweddings! http://www.etsy.com/people/indigotwinweddings?ref=ls_profile
I bought the one with the birds on the stump! They were super easy to work with, and I didn’t have to sell my kidney to be able to buy it!! :)

We got our cake topper from Etsy user ‘mudcards’. I could definitely not be happier. It is our dog and cat. Definitely worth the money and I would recommend her work over and over and over and over. She kept in contact with us through the whole process.

They are far more beyond adorable! But they are so expensive to me, sad.

Etsy is soooo dangerous! But once I decided to start using it predominantly for inspiration, my wallet let out a sigh of relief, and I finally came to terms with my love-hate Etsy relationship. And BTW, I think you need those fox cake toppers! They are too cute!
