One last detail before I launch into my pre-wedding parties. I’ve got to recap my bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and, of course, both my weddings. But before that…charms!
I got my bee charms in the mail from Mrs. Seal. She sent them to me in December. I was not as punctual getting my charms to Miss Warbler. (I’m sorry!) I opened the package with delight.

But there were other charms, too! Following the lead of other bees before me, I went to Etsy and asked a seller to make a kettle especially for me. Sweet and Savory Trinkets saved the day.
Making a kettle in miniature version is no small task. Apparently, the handle gave her some trouble, but she managed it. Finding a hardworking seller who will try their darndest to get you exactly what you want is apparently commonplace on Etsy. If you’re looking for another route to what you want outside a physical store, I highly recommend Etsy.
After I sent her a pic of my moniker for Weddingbee, she sent me back a picture of the charm she’d created. It was perfection. I purchased it and an additional charm for one of my bridesmaids, BM Law, who loves red velvet cake.

Oh, it’s so cute! What have you done with it after the wedding?
I can’t wait to get a charm made! Yours turned out so nicely!
The Kettle Charm is so cute!
@Miss Dragon: I can’t wait to see your dragon charm!
Awww yay bee charms! I love the little kettle, it’s too, too cute!
Mrs. Kettle, Chicago, IL Age and Occupation: 26, Non-Profit Donor Resource Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Musician & Teacher Engagement Date: May 29, 2011 Wedding Date: February 2012 Venue: Patrick C. Haley Mansion, Joliet, IL About Me: I'm a city girl who loves a good escape, so I'm planning a Chicago wedding outside of the city. I've been described as a quirky yet down-to-earth drama queen who loves fiercely. I used to be a scientist, but now I'm learning to navigate the world of non-profit organizations. I love cooking, blogging, shopping, and music, and movies (Hans Zimmer is my favorite movie composer). Mr. Kettle and I had a short courtship and now we have a happy home with our cat-who-thinks-she's-people, Belle. We spend our days and nights with good food, live music, video games, family, and friends. Our wedding has become this wonderful excuse to bring together hundreds of people we can't bear to be without.
