Card Box on Weddingbee

Mrs. Stiletto, Chicago Age and Occupation: 26, Non-Profit/Fundraising Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Engineer and Photographer Engagement Date: March 2, 2008 Wedding Date: September 2009 Venue: The 19th Century Club About Me: My fiance and I love living in the city of Chicago with our cats Basil and Linus, and vow to never move to the suburbs if we can possibly avoid it! We’ve poured ourselves into planning a wedding that reflects our personal style - modern and high contrast with a vintage twist. Blogging keeps me creative, baking keeps me happy, and grande nonfat no foam sugar free vanilla lattes keep me sane.

Card Box… Complete!

Remember when I had this great DIY idea for a vintage suitcase card box? Yahhhh… my first attempt turned out so badly I couldn’t stand to snap a picture of it before it landed in the trash. So, I went with my backup plan.

When I was planning my candy buffet, I picked up this black cake stand, which happened to come in a great box.…

Mailbox Card Box

Beyond the copper in our wedding, Mr. Pineapple and I really love the use of copper in other elements in our home. Someday we are going to be billionaires and have copper all throughout our fabulous kitchen. When it came to the card box, I thought it would be cool to use a copper mailbox that we could then use for real mail. Once I…

Going Postal

July 17th, 2008 @ 11:31 am by Mrs. Cherry Pie

After some deliberation, I’ve decided how to use the vintage mailbox that I purchased in Kalispell.

First, I was considering using it as a card box. Then, I was considering using it as an alternative to a guest book. Then, I realized I could just as well do both!

What we’ll do is set the mailbox on a table or secure it near a table on a…

Super Mom

March 18th, 2008 @ 8:24 am by Mrs. Sundae

My Mom has special powers. Whenever I have something really specific in mind that I want, she inevitably finds that exact thing when we’re shopping. But not only does she find that must-have item, she almost always finds it for a deep, deep discount. There are countless stories of her stopping in front of a rack or a shelf, rummaging around, and pulling out whatever you’re…
