Last night around midnight, Mr. Butterfly went to go pick up a package from our building while walking the dog. It was our first registry present!!

Cuisinart 10-Piece Non-Stick Hard Anodized Cookware Set

Who would get us such a nice, extravagant gift? Mr. Butterfly’s mom, of course! The card said something like “Mr. Butterfly and Ms. Butterfly, Congratulations and best of luck in the future! Love, Mom.”

In keeping with my recent irriation with certain aspects of our registry (I’m having bedding issues, lol), I decided to be an optimist this Hump Day and talk about what I *am* thrilled with on our registry: Our china!!!

I love love love our fine china. It’s the Crestwood Cobalt Platinum pattern, by Noritake:

I love it because it’s simple and elegant and timeless without being too…

We registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond and JCPenney shortly after we got engaged. At first our registries were filled with “fun” items — not one but four pillows shaped like Batmobiles, a speaker that doubles as an ottoman, etc. (guess whose idea that was? hehe). Since, we’ve revised the registries somewhat so they now consist of the more mature, expected items — things we…

#1 from Snowbride

A duster. Not even a feather duster but a fluffy cotton sort. Were they trying to imply my house needed to be dusted? Please!

I also received a jar of salt and a jar of pepper-but no shaker, no grinder… Just the salt and pepper inexplicably in a box.

#2 from Jamia

I’m sure there are far worse things, but this freaking hat was the worst…

I love this set of 12 journals called One Year of White Pages from Rare Device. The 80 paged journals have moleskine-like wrappers and holes punched out in each one to signify the month. A totally awesome and affordable gift for anyone.

Another great find from Rare Device is this inital pillow. Each letter was hand-drawn and silkscreened onto the fabric. A great gift for the…

I had to go into work yesterday for a few hours, and my lovely fiance decided to join me. While I was working, Mr. Butterfly and I worked on our registry. I found it really hard to “complete” our registry in-store. First, after 15 items or so, I couldn’t remember what we had scanned, let alone try to color coordinate. Second, everything was sooooo pretty…

Well, we’ve done it! We’re officially registered… at 4 places. And there is a wild card in there that I want to share. The place is called HomeClick. Anybody heard of them or used them?

At first, we were going to register at Michael C. Fina. But the china pattern we picked was very expensive, so I started to do some research on where I could…

Mr. Bee and I went to Bed Bath and Beyond this weekend, and I noticed that they’re now carrying Kate Spade’s line of china, glassware, and silverware.

We’ve all heard of honeymoon registries and new home registries, but now there’s even another option - an education registry. At educationregistry.com you can register for help paying off student loans, education savings accounts for your children, and tuition registries for couples that are going back to school.

There is of course a service fee based on the contribution amount, but that would probably come out…

Because my husband and I already had an established home (we’d lived together more than two years), we decided to have a honeymoon (HM) registry for our wedding.

Prior to setting up the HM registry I asked my friends their opinions, knowing that it’s an untraditional option. They thought it was a great idea! They understood that we wouldn’t need much else to…

We finished our registry! Well, almost….

Mr. Butterfly and I went to Crate and Barrel this weekend to finish registering for our kitchen and dining room items. This time, I definitely went a little crazy with the scanner gun because I ended up with 70 unique items in the store. This does not count the 8 different place settings for each item.

I will have to…

Teacups that reveal their heart shape when filled with tea from Keith + Lottie.

They’re $29 for a set of 2 cups and 2 saucers, but shipping to the US from Australia is $23 or $29. They’re still too adorable to pass up as an engagement or shower gift!

Starwood Hotels has teamed up with the Wedding Channel to offer a free honeymoon registry for 100 of their most romantic and luxurious destinations worldwide.

You set the amount and guests gift you “honey money” towards the cost of the honeymoon. The honey money is even valid for up to 2 years so you can take a minimoon now, and a honeymoon later or you can…

Mr. Caterpillar and I registered at only one place, Michael C. Fina. They have a large selection of china, crystal, and silver, and because I’m kind of crazy like that, I only wanted china, crystal, and silver.

So far? Disaster.

The site is down ALL THE TIME. As well, the page layouts make it really difficult to navigate. And for those without a cryptology doctorate, it is…

Oy! My aching feet!

Mr. Butterfly and I went to Macy’s on Saturday to register. We must have walked around for 2.5 hours, and we only managed to register for 36 things! Well, some of them are multiples, like towels, and Macy’s counted them as one unique item.

Anyway, we registered for mostly linens. I went a little crazy with the laser gun in the linen section…
